Who do you think Floyd will fight now? Its seems like the Gatti fight is off, I think it was a good move by Gatti to give up on the fight. I honestly believe Mayweather would have humiliated Gatti so now Gatti can use the excuse of Mayweather didn't want to fight. I think Floyd should wait for the winner of Kostya Tyszu/Ricky Hatton.

I think he'll just have to fight a nobody in summer and then wait for the winner of Hatton and Tszyu. Unless he decides to move up to 147 where there are more options open to him.

Gatti needed Floyd more than Floyd needed Gatti anyway...

What is Mayweathers problem? You are likely right that he probably would have humiliated Gatti, but there is the risk that Gatti could overwhelm him. Mayweather really ****ed up by not taking the fight. If he fights another nobody, I will be pissed

Tyszu/Hatton winner would be for all the marbles. Corrales at 140 would be a barnburner, so would a rematch with Castillo. Those rematches would be a lot more exciting than the first few fights cuz of Mayweather's new style of standing in the pocket and trading shots.

too bad he didn't fight Gatti cuz that was the money fight. A showdown with Zab would be a crazy match up. If he moved up to 147, there's a whole bunch of great fight's for him too, Cintron...Margarito....Ouma....Zab....De la hoya (even tho he says no no no)....MOsely....

If Mayweather doesnt' develop the reluctant Roy disease, he has the opposition in these two weight divisions to cement his legacy and make him on the greatest boxers alive.

Mayweather doesn't go directly in the pocket. He wears down his opponent and makes him think twice about throwing (through countering effectively) then he goes in the pocket. But I don't think he'll stay in the pocket for long against a heavy hitter like Tszyu, that'll just be foolish..

After the Bruseles fight Mayweather claimed that he'll fight 4 times this year. I wonder how that's going to work out. Maybe he can fight Vivian Harris.

IMO, PBF would annihalate Harris. He would block lead punches, then counter with uppercuts and straight rights. I think he might even finish him before the 6th round.

I've never seen Vivian Harris fight, but from what I heard he has some pretty good power.
What's his style like?

he reminds me of RJJ in a way. He likes to lead and slip punches, he is a pretty good fighter. I just dont know how he would deal with PBF's punching effectiveness.

Bottomline is Floyd has to fight a bigtime name at 140 in his next fight, he can't keep fighting these bums.

he will fight gatti . i think it s just a business move .

they both need that fight BAD , be it for a last big payday for gatti or a big and relatively easy win @140 for floyd .

gatti wants more money , he says floyd didnt sign the contract but he just want a better share .

the fight will happen , i tell you all.

I hope your right, but like I said for Gatti this is good because he would have gotten outclassed and humiliated by Mayweather most likley. Now Gatti can continue his career as a top fighter.

thats were we disagree . gatti cant and wont continue his career as a top fighter . he is in his mid 30 , as fought a LOT of wars , awful wars , he wants out of the game with a few brain cells left and the money to enjoy them .

floyd is the perfect choice , big payday , light hitter and it wouldnt be humiliating to loose , everybody thinks he is gonna loose.

gatti needs this fight , its more money less risk for his health than a tzyu or a cotto fight .

the fight will happend , pretty boy needs to make a statement @ 140 without jumping in the arms of tzyu or cotto .

Yeah, you could be right, but the biggest payday for him is at 147. His name is De La Hoya..

Huh? Uppercuts on a tall long fighter like Harris?

I think Mayweather will be on his bike if he fought Harris. Harris can control Mayweathers speed with a long hard jab then follow up with his good right hand. Mayweather's pitty pattying ways will have to win him alot of rounds.

I'd say it's 50/50, but anyways Mayweather will never take a chance by fighting a guy like Harris.

Mayweather schools Harris, I don't care. Harris struggled against Urkal, who is tough but still just a C fighter. B fighter at best. Harris is still one of the tops at 140. I like him, but Floyd owns everyone at 140.

I don't think Floyd stops Harris in 6, probably doesn't stop him period actually. I think Harris is tougher than Corley and Floyd didn't stop the chop chop, even though he did dominate him.



And damn lose the Larry Merchant avatar. Damn I can't watch for Merchant's death. I will be dancing in the streets. Then I'll probably get run over, but I won't care cause Merchant'll be dead. Then if I don't make it to Heaven, I'll beat the crap out of Merchant in Hell.


Gatti is so scared of Mayweather it is pathetic. Gatti is just trying to hold onto his little title now. Arum is full of **** too. WTF is Arum's problem? Mayweather should sue the **** out of him for trying to sabotage his career. I've never seen a promoter so much for the other guy, no matter who Mayweather's opponent is.

Mayweather last fought Jan 22 right. Then Gatti fought the next week. So Jan 29th. Immediately, Gatti's ***** ass is trying to get out of the Mayweather fight saying that bull**** about "Oh I can't fight Mayweather until he gets the court stuff out of the way. That's the most important stuff." (not direct quote, if you couldn't tell). Then Mayweather goes ahead and pleads No Contest, gets called Stupid by everyone, started by Greg Leon of course (who is he to call anybody stupid? but that's another story).

So mayweather is cleared to fight. Arum's lying ass says he has to take a million away from Floyd because he won't have enough time to promote the fight?! June 11th? What the ****? From now until June 11th isn't enough time to promote a fight? Yeah, if you're a ****** ass promoter who can't promote ****. Ahem...Arum.

That is one of the most lame excuses I've ever heard. And of course Gatti is all for it.

If I were Mayweather, I'd tell Gatti and Arum to both go **** themselves and wait it out until the WBC forces the mandatory. But wait, Arum'll just pay the WBC off to not force the mandatory. Or Gatti'll somehow get out of it. He'll give up the title to avoid Floyd.

Okay now to Gatti again. Gatti's weaselly ass says he can't wait around to fight Mayweather (even though the fight could be signed for June 11th). So he's moving on? To who? ****ing Branco 2? Branco is the #2 contender. We know he isn't fighting Harris, Hatton, or Tszyu (nobody will fight Harris unless forced, Hatton vs. Tzyzu coming up). We know Arum won't put Cotto against Gatti yet. No way in hell Gatti risks getting his ass beat by Junior Witter. Mitchell ain't even thinking about fighting Gatti. So that leaves only complete ****ing bums.

Gatti should've fought Floyd in January, like Mayweather wanted. Gatti had just fought Dorin in that bull**** 2 round fight and his ****** ass is like "I'll fight Floyd in the summer but I need a tune up, as if I didn't just have one" ****ing queer. Damn I can't wait for Gatti to get killed by someone mediocre.

LMFAO.I like gatti,but i agree with you there,also about harris,he had too much trouble with urkal,he's still a good fighter though,just not at floyd's level.Either of these guys tho (floyd/gatti) better have at least a decent fighter next, not all these dudes they just breeze thru. :grumble:

I like what Judah did - it took balls. And it paid off in a big ****ing way. Sometimes its just cool to say '**** you' to c*nt promoters, beat up their *****-whipped fighter and move on to bigger and better things.

Mmm... Oscar vs. floyd... That is a bout I would love to see.

For some reason I don't think Floyd will jump in with heavy-hitting Tszyu until he can get a stepping stone type match with someone closer to Tszyu's power than Floyd's last opponent. ie Gatti.

If what I am saying doesn't seem to make sense, forgive me, it is too early in the morning for me. ;)

I doubt the people who say Harris would beat Mayweather really feel that way, but when you're on top people just want to see you fall...it's called hating..

I dont think that Gatti is really scared of Mayweather, and the last events is simply part of promoting future fight "Mayweather vs Gatti". Arturo is a great fighter without fear of anybody... ;-)
