Gatti will KO Mayweather, Corley had Mayweather hurt and stood there and looked at him, if Gatti hurts him, he will finish him.

Absolutely, I have Gatti winning it by a TKO in the 9th round.


BTW, nice avatar, tuck your chin, bring that left in tighter, and get that weight centered, you have too much weight on your back foot, now shoot that left to the body and come up top with that big right, bam! lights out!

I agree. I got Gatti by at least a decision.

Is this thread a joke or something? Gatti willnot beat Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather will dance around Gatti busting him up with the jab and teaching poor Aturo a painful lesson. He`ll probably be stopped late too!

You guys are out of your minds! Mayweather will never allow himself to get into Gatti's type of fight. Not in a million years. He will box Gatti's ears off and counter while moving. He might even do what he did to Chico and bust him up with counters and then put him down. I see a close fight, but i see it going the same way that the JLC fight went (the second one). Mayweather by UD. Sorry Gatti fans, you guys are giving Gatti WAY to much credit and severly underestimating PBF. Didn't Gatti lose to journeyman Micky Ward (great fights though) and has fought Dorin, and old man Lejia? Gatti is all heart and guts, but i see overall talent winning this one.

but gatti wont even get pbf hurt thats the thing. not if he swings like a rusty gate when he's brawling, and brawlings the only way he could ever do pbf cos he sure as hell aint gonna out box him.

I think Pretty Boy will finish this fight as the winner, cause he definitely will be focused to beat Gatti and showing he's the man right now.

I have PBF winning by an early or mid round stoppage. He would beat Gatti utill he was unconscious.

I am sure he would not want to re-live the DLH nightmare again, and this time...he is facing someone who is a tad bit faster, and more effective with his punches.

Fight would be similar to Ndou/Mayweather IMO.

Gatti is a great "fan favorite", but PBF would make him look like the average moderate skilled fighter he is.

Kimmy
03-12-2005, 09:21 AM
Well...i think Gatti will makeit out of the early rounds quite well but i don`t see him being able to win a round. Oscar De La Hoya scored an early/mid round stoppage of Gatti but that was at welterweight and Oscar is a decent puncher at welter. Gatti i think won`t be knocked out. He most likly will be stopped on his feet due to an accumulation of punishment or cuts damage caused by stinging shots from Mayweather. Gatti has improved lately in his boxing style but against Floyd who is several leagues above him it won`t be a factor!
Mayweather forces a stoppage somewhere between 8th and 10th round!

Kimmy we finally agree about somthing, I second what you said.

Hey after Mayweather beats him up and starts talking to Larry Merchant about the fight. Don't believe a word he says on how Gatti is a good fighter, blah, blah, blah...
He'll just be trying to make the fight seem tougher than it was, and make himself look even better...

GATTI IS A BUM!!

Not disrespect to Mayweather, though..

Kimmy
03-12-2005, 02:54 PM
I agree with Jack to an extent about Arturo Gatti being a less than world class fighter. He is exciting and this makes him popular with the fans, it also elavates his ability in the eyes of his fans. This isn`t good because it doesn`t give a good reflection of what type of fighter Gatti is. The truth is simple. Gatti is a very brave and crowd pleasing fighter with a half decent punch. He is not anything more and i wouldn`t consider him a world class jr welterweight especially when that division is riddled with so much talent!

Nah, Gatti is going to continue the string of upsets the sport has seen over the last couple of years. Gatti wins this one guys, but it will be a bloody win for him. If this one goes the distance then the decision goes to Gatti, but I am picking him to catch Mayweather in the 9th....

I`ll go with Dodge on this, a stoppage between the 7th - 9th rounds for Floyd!

Gatti will be embarrased in this fight. He is a very average fighter, with moderate power at 140 & Floyd will make him look inept. Nobody should elevate Floyd any higher after this fight. He should win this fight with a leg in the air.

I have PBF winning by an early or mid round stoppage. He would beat Gatti utill he was unconscious.

I am sure he would not want to re-live the DLH nightmare again, and this time...he is facing someone who is a tad bit faster, and more effective with his punches.

Fight would be similar to Ndou/Mayweather IMO.

Gatti is a great "fan favorite", but PBF would make him look like the average moderate skilled fighter he is.
