My Take
Arturo Gatti fought like the rules of self-preservation didn't apply to him. Italian-born, fighting out of Canada, he'd take a beating and keep marching forward, turning brawls into the kind of war that had you yelling at the screen to please, please back off. He didn't out-box people so much as out-will them, and that's why the 2002 Ring Comeback of the Year and the 2013 Hall of Fame induction feel inevitable. He died far too young in 2009 at 37. What I remember isn't the titles, it's that bloodied, almost grinning face. People fall hard for that kind of beautiful recklessness.
