I think that if Gatti boxes and makes Mayweather fight he could by decision or knock out

Gatti is going to beat the **** out of Mayweather

He will force Floyd into a war, then punk him out. If Corely can wobble Floyd with a weak punch like he did, Gatti will take his fruitcup for sure.

Yes, he stands a chance but Floyd will bust him open and give him a really beating even if Gatti catches him with i doubt.

Gatti is being written off too easily in this fight. Floyd was buzzed by Chop Chop in his first fight at 140 and Gatti hits alot harder IMO.

Gatti has underated boxing skill and moves quite well, this will be a hard fight for Floyd.

Yeah. Right. The chances of that happening are like being struck by lightning 4 times. It happens, it just is not going to when they fight.

Gatti took punishment from a prime Oscar for five rounds, Bruseles took Mayweathers for eight rounds = UD if Mayweather wins, or KO by Gatti (dont think it will happen).
Mayweather will UD or KO Gatti 10th RD

Regardless of what you people think, Mayweather is a sharpshooter who proved that he can punch. Don't be surprised if Mayweather can shock Gatti with a punch to the body or the head. It's not like Gatti has the best chin at 140lbs.

mayweather has not felt a punch like gatti's before.

Well ask the punchers who he has faced how hard it is to land a clean shot on him, namely Corrales..
Mayweather is going to make Gatti look like an old man..

People tend to forget how one-dimensional Gatti is when he ups the competition.

>>mayweather has not felt a punch like gatti's before.>>

No he hasn`t, because he is too elusive to be hit by such a shot! I appreciate Gatti`s power and heart but Mayweather should be able to dance around all night and beat Gatti up. Gatti is a 15 to 1 underdog in my book!

OF COURSE Gatti stands a chance!

The "old" Gatti stood less of a chance...the Gatti who didn't employ much of his boxing skills but rather chose to go balls to the wall and brawl.

The "new" Gatti, a product of Buddy McGirt's development, stands one hell of a chance against Pretty Boy.

That being said...if Floyd can make this happen, I'm putting my money on Arturo!!!

The question is: "Does Gatti have a chance?"

Anyone who answers anything other than "yes" is a fool. Of course Gatti has a chance, and it's certainly better than the chance of beng struck by lightning four times...that was just lame.

I totally agree...if mayweather is at 100% physically, with both hands healthy, the only gatti's chance is a lucky haymaker.
the rest will be a beating by FM from the outside

i do agree that mayweather probably has the best lateral movements in the game today, which makes him harder to hit. he also has a very fast hands.

But i still have the faith in gatti's power and tenacity

I think Mayweather will win because i think Gatti will try and outbox him, that aint gonna work because nobody boxes on the outside as well as Mayweather.

If Gatti forces the pace, gets inside and trys to back Mayweather up he'll stand a great chance, if that were the case i might even pick Gatti.

Its a hard fight to pick, it depends what version on Gatti turns up.

mayweather like all fighters is hitable. he is very elusive and knows how to use the whole ring to his advantage i agree. it kinda reminds of dlh running around the ring except pbf throws punches and with lightning speed while he does it.

Nope, Gatti has been fighting chumps lately and floyd has fought some relative unknowns, but they were tough and sometimes undefeated unknowns. I think Gatti is going to taste a lot of letaher that evening...

I don't think Gatti has much of a shot here. The skill level is lopesided. As much as I hate to say it.

With that said, people tend to go one way or the other on this fight. Some say Mayweather will make Gatti look silly...others say Gatti will KO PBF. After watching their last 3-4 fights, I say it will be close with Mayweather winning. Gatti will put on a far better performance than his detractors expect him to, but it won't be enough. I expect Mayweather to be hurt at least twice, but not go down...nothing in his previous fights shows he has a bad chin.

Mayweather wins, most likely in a Split. Not contested.

IMO, more lopsided than when he fought DLH. And we all know what happened there. I tink Mayweather is way too fast and hungry for Gatti.

PBF T.K.O. 4.
