Regarding Mayweather's extraordinary speed Gatti said that "people slow down when they get punched." Gatti, one of the gutsiest boxers of modern times, also questioned Mayweather's courage. "I don't know if he has heart, but if he does I'm going to shrink it." Both Mayweather his uncle/trainer Roger and his father Floyd Sr. (Oscar De La Hoya's trainer) have all been known to trash-talk their opponents. In a way, trash-talking seems to run in the family. "It also runs in the family that they have glass jaws," retorted Gatti.


tht last sentence made me laff hard, gatti i think now has a big chance of beating mayweather. i was thinkin mayweather on a shutout, but now i think i might actually pick gatti. we've never seen mayweather in a war, if we c him in a war now, who will win

I think Mayweather is gonna box gatti's ass off but in a war i would have to favor gatti. I doubt it'll become a war though. I'd like to see Gatti knock him out but i don't really see it happen. From this fight we can gage how bad De La Hoya would beat on mayweather or vice versa, maybe.

Mayweather by 12UD.

Gatti stands a chance for a KO/TKO if he closes the gap and turns it into a brawl. I could envision it against the ropes, Mayweather using his crab defense, and catching a straight right from Gatti. However, more than likely, "Pretty Boy" Floyd will dance around the ring, and using his speed, agility, and superb countering abilities and cat-like reflexes, will stand victorious after 12 entertaining rounds of boxing action.

Gatti dosent want anymore wars, he's getting up there in years,thats why he changed his boxing style, he dosent want to take all that punishment,i almost feel bad for gatti, i think Floyd isnt gonna be satisfied with winning, he's gonna try and punish gatti,really make a statement,so he can get thos PPV's.

I don't see Gatti getting KOed in this fight for some reason. Perhaps its more believable to see McGirt throwing in the towel, since he does tend to actually care about his fighters, unlike some trainers.

I could see him doing it to save the embarrassment, and the continuous onslaught that Mayweather may bring into the fight. However, I'm just betting it'll be a UD after 12 rounds.

I too think PBF will stop Gatti, maybe even quicker than DLH to prove something, however I feel that DLH could have put Gatti away in 2

Gatti doesnt go to war anymore. Its not happening, Mayweather is going to stop him by TKO after he embarrasses him a bit.

Interesting metaphor man. Though it seems accurate.

who cares what u would like to see...gatti is gonna get abused

All Gatti needs to do is land one punch on floyds chin and its done. Everyone is saying how much of a boxing lesson floyd is gonna put on Gatti, not when Gatti is gonna go to Floyds body then he wont be able to dance around. Gatti is too strong for floyd, all he needs to do is put floyd on the ropes and its over for floyd, floyd cant take Gatti's punching power, Ward is way stronger than floyd and he couldnt put Gatti away in their first brawl. Gatti by KO ALL THE WAY!!!

LMAO, are you ppl crazy, read the poll again, it says "If its a war between gatti n floyd who wins n how?", if its a WAR!, a WAR!, Floyd has never been thru wut Gatti has been thru with Ward and all the other wars he had, their is no way that floyd can KO GAtti in a war b/c once Gatti lands one flush punch on floyds chin he is done for, This time floyd is gonna have to work for his win, if its a war. Like i said befor, if Ward couldnt put him away in a brawl then floyd wont be able to.

Since that point: I have learned not to overestimate Gatti, and Underestimate an A class fighter like Floyd.
.
i have learned quite the contrary
never underestimate gatti
never overrate an A class fighter
eg. roy jones vs tarver II

Have you watched Floyd's last few fights? He is much more offensive now. He will box for about 5 rounds and then he will sit down and trade with Gatti, if Gatti makes it that far :)

i have learned quite the contrary

never overrate an A class fighter
eg. roy jones vs tarver II
People always say stuff like that. Jones was washed up and if you cant tell that then theres something wrong with you. A prime Jones wouldve wiped the floor with Tarver

:biggthump Gatti Rocks, Thunder Rolls !!!! Rock 'n Roll mutha fukas !!!! :boxing:

Yes Gatti rocks but he will lose to PBF.

I am going against the odds and picking Gatti in this one, just a hunch, but I think Gatti will get to Mayweather late, round nine or ten and TKO PBF...

:biggthump Right On, man !!! Have you checked out drummerworld.com yet?

If it's a war... Gatti will win!

But Floyd won't let it become a war! ;)

Mayweather will win this fight UD!

But I'd love to see Gatti KO Mayweather!

:biggthump Right On, man !!! Have you checked out drummerworld.com yet?

Sure, I have checked out tons of music sites, I have several favorite drummers, Neil Pert, Tommy Aldridge, (who married my high school prom queen) Tommy Lee, B.B. Borden, Steve Smith, Buddy Rich, the list goes on and on...

Cool. Buddy Rich is my all time favorite drummer. He was one of my heroes when I was a kid. He ranked right up there with Jack Dempsey, John Wayne, Rocky Marciano, and Humphrey Bogart.

I doubt Gatti going to do anything, Mayweather is just TOO DAMN GOOD FOR GATTI. Oh by the way I am not just saying that because I am a FMJR. fan I am saying that cause I believe it.

The only shock will be to the hard-core Gatti fans when his ass is KTFO.

Anyone who thinks Gatti is going to try to outbox Mayweather is fooling themselves. Gatti wants this to be a war because he has all the advantages one needs to win a war. The question is will he be successful in making it a war.

Don't be an ass and try to tell intelligent people on this board that Gatti's style is permanently changed and he will never go to war again...especially when it's his best chance of winning...bull****.

Gatti will be Floyd's proverbial punching bag. I feel sorry for him. Floyd will put on a boxing clinic like no other. For those who think Floyd will trade with Gatti are foolish. You see, Floyd is very selective about who he trade punches with. He knows his best advantage is to box and move if his opponent is a power puncher. Just look at the Corrales fight. That's the beauty of boxing, you adjust your style to your advantage. Floyd wins by stoppage due to cuts or Gatti's corner throws in the towel.

As Much As We All Want This To Become A War, Its Not Going To Happen, Floyd Wont Allow It, He Is Just Going To Give Gatti A Boxing Lesson, And Will Win A 12rd Ud,

This is why Gatti has a chance:

Mayweather has Brittle Hands.

Mayweather does very well with avoiding head shots, but Gatti has been real effective to the body. Watch Gatti pound the Body.

Gatti is willing to throw punches with Mayweather(Thowing punches at the same time), which is the only way to really hit Mayweather to the Head with a clean shot.

If Gatti can avoid cuts, and dig to the body in the first 5 rounds, Gatti has a hell of a chance.

DLT do you honestly think that PBF hits harder than gatti, HELL NO MAN!!!, do you think that PBF hits harder than Micky Ward HELL NO MAN!!! and gatti was taking his best punches, when you go toe to toe your open for flush punches and i dont think that floyd has the chin for gatti's punches. Gatti can go thru a hail storm of ounches and not go down, watch the 9th round of ward-gatti 1, then you'll know what im talking about.

gatti wont go down to mayweather although pbf will win. I for one would like to see mayweather take some shots from gatti though and see how pretty he looks after that.

I think that Floyd is a great fighter, but he is being waaaay overrated in this thread. He is undefeated but in his last few fights he has fought nobody that could even challenge him. And i dont think its cause he is just that good, but more cause his opponents have been B class boxers. Gatti has a few things going for him in this fight. He will have the power, and mayweather will be fighting a true Light Welterweight for the first time. I think Gatti will shock some people in this fight. Im sure he is aware of what everyone thinks will happen, which can only add to his focus for this fight.

Floyd is to fast for Gatti and will not find him in the ring. If he does Floyd will sit in the pocket and beat Gatti at his own game. Also Gatti cuts easily and when you have someone like Floyd in there with you that is bad news. Floyd by stopage in round 8.

That's what i like to hear. Gatti is a true warrior. The man will never give up, and I am growing more and more confident every day of his ability to win. I was at first positive of a Mayweather Decision, but now im edging toward a Gatti KO. I love Gatti, truly is the human highlight film.

i don't see PBF being drag into a war.

if its a boxing match PBF hands down, but if its a war i'll go for gatti...

voting for the underdog by KO ...

mayweather is fast but gatti isn't exactly slow. i want to see gatti punish him to the body relentlessly. i don't want anything spectacular. i want what i always want: the brawler to get in there and take out the pretty boy with a bodyshot. i think it is gonna be a hell of a matchup.

LETS SEE IF GATTI CAN MAKE IT . REMEMBER FM IS UNDEFEATED.& HAS FLASHY POWER TOO.

LOL, Gatti's going to shrink Mayweather's heart? Like he's done with his own balls? Gatti said you slow down when you get hit...exactly.

Who is going to get hit first? Gatti. What happens when you get hit? Gatti says "people slow down when they get punched." So Gatti'll slow down. Mayweather'll maintain. Gatti would have to hit Mayweather to do anything at all. Not going to happen.

Go read Floyd's interview on Boxingscene. Man, never has a fighter said the exact same things I've said to such a precise extent. Go read what I've been saying all along, from the mouth of madness, Floyd Mayweather himself.

The minute Gatti tastes leather, he slows down. Against a good fighter, he is complete toast. People give his chin more credit than it actually deserves as well. Like against Ward. It was hilarious, he was boxing and taggin Ward.....then he got caught. Ward of all people was making him look stupid in points of their fights. Not a good sign when a guy 10 tiers below Mayweather can hurt you seriously in a fight. I could care less how "hard" Ward punches. He is a streetwalker compared to Mayweather in punching effectiveness.

This is silly.

Have you seen any Gatti fights? I mean, seriously. When Gatti tastes leather he slows down???!? Did I miss something (like Gatti's entire career?)? When Gatti tastes leather he throws MORE punches and as hard as he can. That's a fact. Watch his fights with Rodriguez, Ruelas, Robinson..heck, even DLH. He stunned DLH in their fight, and that fight was stupid- Gatti against someone who is so much bigger than him. Even on that fight he never stopped or slowed down- he kept coming until his corner stopped it.

And you are just uninformed about Ward. Ward is seriously lacking in boxing skills, but he was one of the toughest and strongest guys at 140. Nobody survived against Ward very long standing toe-to-toe with him and trading, everyone beat him by outboxing him pretty easily. If Mayweather stood inside and traded shot for shot with Ward, PBF would lose within 5 rounds. Gatti did stand and trade- and when he did, he lost rounds in those fights. If you want to say Gatti doesn't fight as smart as PBF, then that's true. No problem.

But don't even try to say PBF wins the toughness contest. Because that is a joke. PBF may win this fight with his skills which are obviously superior to Gatti (and pretty much anyone he faces) but Gatti is the bigger puncher and the punishment Gatti can take is mind-blowing- and he seems to thrive on it. Inferring that when the going gets tough, Gatti slows down and is less effective is just simly incorrect.

Have you seen any Gatti fights? I mean, seriously. When Gatti tastes leather he slows down???!? Did I miss something (like Gatti's entire career?)

When he eats leather, he loses his gameplan and does not fight accordingly. Yes you missed plenty of things, because you were blinded by how exciting Gatti is. Those three paragraphs were nothing but justifications for you overrating him as a fighter.

Those fighters you mentioned were complete trash, and this discussion has been done over so many times it is not funny. I really am tired of having to repeat myself, and I feel others are as well.

Just wait untill your boy gets thoroughly dominated by Floyd Mayweather. He is not that good of a fighter man. Not to mention, I do not think you have seen many Gatti fights......this I am completely sure of.

LOL did you even see the DLH fight? pffffff! whatever.

Ward is seriously lacking in boxing skills, but he was one of the toughest and strongest guys at 140. .

Ummm. No. I can name at least 5 "tougher and stronger"

I do hope he shocks the world. I am a gatti fan. But Against Mayweather... I am sooooo shaky.

LOL did you even see the DLH fight? pffffff! whatever.

The only reason Gatti landed a few shots on De La Hoya was because Oscar got bored. Gatti got DESTORYED in a one sided beating!!

LOL I have about 15 of them in divx right here on my desktop. The fight vs. DLH was a one-sided fight, but did Gatti quit? He stood in there and kept throwing and taking a beating and still throwing, and YES he did stun DLH briefly. I'll give you the round and time later if you want. I'm wondering if you have seen it.

To dismiss those fighters I mentioned is folly. Those were tough fighters and tough fights. He never stopped punching when he gets hit, contrary to what you said. Does he lose his gameplan and go to war? YES, he does often times. That is what you are amending your statement to say- which is a helluva lot different than your original silly statement "The minute Gatti tastes leather, he slows down."

Gatti may lose the fight, but it won't be because the first time PBF hits him he stops throwing and "slows down" LOL

He stunned DLH in their fight, and that fight was stupid- Gatti against someone who is so much bigger than him.

Okay you just showed your ignorance. Gatti was NOT against someone bigger than him. Gatti weighed more. Gatti always comes in at about middleweight on the night of the fight.

Those opponents you named are garbage...and idiot, he ****ing LOST TWICE to Ivan Robinson, an opponent you named you dumbass! Gabe Ruelas is the best opponent Gatti has beat. Rodriguez? That's like calling Mayweather great for beating Bobby Geipert. You are the one who is seriously misinformed here if you actually think Rodriguez was a good opponent. Just cause Gatti struggled with him doesn't mean he was a good opponent. It just proves that Gatti is not such a good fighter, idiot.

Its the Eamon McGee effect...Eamon McGee ****ing sucks. Hatton had trouble with him, so then everyone started naming Eamon McGee as a good opponent. No, McGee sucked just as bad against Hatton as he ever has. It just shows that Hatton was a little overhyped.

I guess Branco is a good opponent too huh. By all means, Gatti struggled with him.

Gatti doesn't get better when he gets hit, idiot. He gets desperate. He turns on the fire out of desperation. Ivan Robinson was a mediocre boxer with above average boxing technique. He easily outboxed Gatti twice. What do you think Mayweather, an even better boxer who actually has beaten good opponents will do to an even worse Gatti than the one Robinson beat? This is a mismatch.

If Floyd stood there and slugged with Gatti, letting Gatti hit him would he lose? Yeah probably but my God he should. Do you know how stupid you sound saying Gatti hits harder than Mayweather? Duh. So what? That doesn't actually prove anything since Mayweather has spent most of his career at 130. But really, how accurate is Gatti? Against a human punching bag like Ward, sure he's accurate as hell. Against anybody with any boxing skill? Gatti struggles.

Against the best defensive boxer in the world today? Gatti misses almost every time. Watch, Mayweather will keep Gatti's punch percentage to 18-20 percent, maybe even less.

I'll tell you one thing, with this fight being in New Jersey every time Gatti lands anything the place is gonna go nuts. Similar to the way the Vegas crowd went nuts when Morales landed shots on Pac.

Gatti is also HBO's darling, huge ****ing draw for them. I love Gatti and want him to knock PBF out more than I've ever wanted a KO as a boxing fan. If this is somewhat competitive (meaning PBF doesn't pot shot and grab abd run the whole fight) at all.....which I think it will be....I expect Gatti to have a very good chance of winning, even on a decision for the reasons mentioned above.

That is exactly what I meant. I would not retract that statement. He "slows down". Are you saying that he becomes more "crisp" after eating leather?

because you need to watch those divx fights again man. The minute he gets hit in the head, his stamina starts to deplete and he fights on sheer guts. That to me: is "slowing down".

Ok, so by "slows down" you must also mean "throws MORE punches and HARDER than before" Because that's what he does against Ruelas, Robinson, Rodriguez and many others. Throwing MORE punches and HARDER punches is not "slowing down" to me. I'm sorry. LOL It's just not. What you were trying to say is that when he gets hit he goes to war and stops boxing loses his gameplan. Far different from "slowing down" We will just have to agree to disagree on that. I think you realize your mistake but you are trying your hardest to rework your original statement into something that makes sense. hehe

I think you realize your mistake but you are trying your hardest to rework your original statement into something that makes sense. hehe

I think you are offended by your lack of boxing knowlege, and are getting defensive when someone jumped in and agreed exactly on how you need to be removed from Gatti's scrotum bag.

Easy to continue to try and pick on me: when MasterDirector just completely owned your ass beyond recognition. Why dont you reply to his 1 page explaination?

I forgot. You do not want him to point out what a douche you are again.

mayweather is a piece of ****, gatti has a point on one thing, the mayweather family all have glass jaws, why do you think floyd is so cautious all the time? he knows it. Gatti will put floyd into a permanent vegetative state and put his ass on ice

This is a mismatch.

DLH is naturally bigger than Gatti. Sorry if you don't think so. Look at the fight- it looked like a big brother fighting his little brother. DLH is naturally larger than Gatti. Gatti fights at 140 and that fight with DLH is the highest he's ever fought and the lowest DLH has fought since then. The DLH fight he weighed in at 146- DLH at 147. Does DLH fight at 140? OK, then maybe you want to rethink your statment about DLH not being a bigger fighter than Gatti. LOL

Now you call me an "idiot" yet you either can't read, or you can't comprehend, or you chose not to read my posts. I mentioned those fights as evidence that Gatti turns it on when he gets hit- he loads up and his punches and throws them harder than ever. Which to me is not "slows down" when he gets hit.

Yes, Robinson outboxed Gatti twice- did you see me say anything to the contrary? LOL You CANNOT READ! (Actually the first Robinson fight should have been a draw).

And I love how all these guys Gatti has fought are so pathetic. Let's remember that when the PBF fight comes along. ROFL You guys just let your mouth overload your brain.

-Let's see if PBF has Gatti down and closes both his eyes in the way Rodriguez did.

-Let's see if PBF has Gatti almost out on his feet the way Ruelas did.

-Let's see if PBF puts Gatti down and has him out on his feet the way Ward did in the 9th of Ward-Gatti I.

I mean, all those guys are SO FAR BELOW the level of PBF, right? :rolleyes: So PBF should just dominate Gatti, right? With no trouble whatsoever? :p

LOL let's see. :D

I'm hoping gatti wins but whoever does win is gonna get crushed by Tszyu anyway!! Hahahaha!! (evily)

gatti will win, but not by a KO or TKO
