I think Michael......Sorry I mean FLOYD!, will wni this fight quite easily
i think he has the skills the power, the generalship the quality over Gatti, i mean Gatti has heart like no other but lets face facts he doesn't have the tool or natural skill that floyd has end of story.

I think his hear will carry him through the distance or late stoppage.

GREAT POST, of course it will get downgraded once the Gatti fans step in and talk about how Gatti will take Mayweather to school, but deep down everybody knows Gatti has trouble with Boxers and Mayweathers resume exceed Gatti's by far and size wont play a role either, Mayweather has been in their with pretty big guys (Corley/Manfredy/Castillo/Corrales).

I believe Mayweather has fought the better opposition and overall is just the better fighter and Gatti will get outclassed but respected for his guts.

I agree, Yarmez. When it's all said and done, what can these Gatti fans say Gatti has what Mayweather doesn't have.

Hello everyone, I just joined today. I myself like Gatti. However,I also believe that he is very overrated, and that Mayweather will school him. If you look at his resume you will not see any future hall of famers that he has beaten. People like to say that the De La Hoya loss was because Oscar was so much bigger than Arturo,but die hard Gatti fans will turn around at look at his fight w/ Gamache as if it were spectacular, even though Arturo outweighed him by 200 pounds. Bottom line Mayweathers skills simply outclass Gatti,and his heart will have nothing to do w/ the outcome of hte fight.

I'm Glad You Guys agree with me, but i want to get something straight i am taking nothing away from Gatti, but i just don't think he has enough firepower or skill to win this one.

In reality and on Paper FLoyd has it all over this Guy.

Mayweather is already a 5 to 1 favorite in the books to win the fight.

He doesn't have a natural skill or physical advantage over Mayweather? He is stronger, hit's a ton harder, and his chin is better. Mayweather has never had to absorb the amount of punches Gatti has in fights against bigger, harder hitting opponents. That's three right there.

Yarmez

His chin is Ok, but floyd has a decent amount of Power, I don't think Gatti is stronger, toughter maybe but not stronger, and well who cares for his punching power when a boxer boxes the way floyd does he doesn't get hit, he is to good ,there for doesn't have to absorb unessesarry punishment.

I think gatti is good, but i disagree with you on all of those, I think floyd can hold up just as good as Gatti in those areas you mentioned

Kid Achilles

You think Floyd has just as good a punch? Have you seen the Gamache fight? Floyd has never thrown such a brutal punch in his life. Floyd hits okay for a lightweight, but he is nothing compared to Gatti. I think you are letting Floyd's own assessment of the fight, "I'm just as strong, I'll walk over him" etc, influence you when in fact it's all hot air. It's fantasy. Floyd is the smaller man the and the lighter puncher in this fight. He's quicker and he has better skills but that's it.

I can gauruntee you this: If Floyd fought the same underweight, outgunned Gamache....His head would have literally came off his shoulders from multiple shots. Mayweather would look equally, if not more impressive against him, if he had the 20 something pound advantage....like Gatti did.

Gamache was a lightweight like Mayweather. Chances are Gatti is going to have a similar weight advantage in this fight. So really it is a perfect example of what kind of power Mayweather is up against.

Yarmez

03-31-2005, 12:34 AM

I actually couldn't give a hoot what floyd says i am going on facts, and please don't tell me you are trying to compare Gamache with Mayweather.

Yes i've seen the Gamache fight and yes it was a brutal shot, but i will repeat again for starters floyd wouldn't be there when a punch like that is thrown, and i mean if Gatti Stuggles Past a Second String FIghter Like Micky Ward, how can he Have a chance against Floyd, Floyd Is smaller, yes, but he is smarter and mark my words a guy like that isn't undefeated for no reason, mark my words gatti is gonna lose, but hey who cares, Tszyu will whoop them both anyhow after he belts hatton.

Mayweather would've dodged and countered.

It is documented that Gatti weighed over the limit going into that Gamache fight anyhow. I'm talking at the weigh in, let alone the night of the fight.

The thing is, people treat it like Gatti is Floyd's toughest opponent. I'm sorry but Corrales was a tougher opponent than Gatti, a more serious threat. This is not Floyd's toughest fight to date. Really not even close. Genaro Hernandez was a harder match than this. Hernandez wasn't some C level fighter, unlike Gatti.

And I personally don't think Gatti can take all of Mayweather's accurate punches. It has been a long time since Gatti has been in with anybody even close to Mayweather's level. What, probably ****ing Ivan Robinson or Manfredy, both of whom Gatti lost to. Yet Gatti is somehow going to beat Mayweather. Okay, we'll see.

Gatti can hit hard enough to turn a fight around with a few punches. I don't think Floyd has the same kind of power, but he has speed and accuracy on his side. Floyd doesn't need to hit as hard, because he can land more punches in better spots. Gatti will definitely have a really tough time in the ring for that fight.

I actually think if it hadn't been for that huge ass cut on gatti's eye he would have pulled it out against manfredy

Cut or not that knockdown Gatti took from Manfredy was pretty devastating.

SonnyG8R

03-31-2005, 07:54 AM

This isn't new news or anything, just my opinion.

Floyd will most likely dance his way to a lopsided decision. However, I do give gatti a slim chance of landing a few hard shots and changing the course of the fight.

masterdirector

03-31-2005, 08:10 AM

Gatti was down early against Manfredy if I remember correctly. So say Gatti did get Manfredy before the cut was too bad. Mayweather destroyed Manfredy in 2 rounds. And Mayweather was at a lower weight. And Gatti probably really weighed like 150 when he fought Manfredy.

baard

03-31-2005, 08:49 AM

Gatti will fight Mayweather, no doubt about that. Don't think he will win though. I personally don't see the power of Gatti. He swing his punches and causes a bang to the head or to the body, they don't seem to have the sharpness of the K.O. punches that for instance Tito has.

spinksjinx

03-31-2005, 09:04 AM

Baard in a sense I agree, I do see Mayweather coming out early and trading with Gatti and as in the Corley fight when he tastes Gattis punch he will go into retreat and counter and embarrass him until the end (whenever that may be).

Gatti has a chance and nobody has acted on it when fighting Mayweather. Mayweather carries 140 VERY well and still looks the same as he did at 130 even. Gatti has a strong chance to hurt Mayweather if he goes to the body frequently he doesnt have much meat covering his bones and that leaves him open for danger. If Gatti banged the body and then went to that chin that really hasnt been tested Gatti might find something that works. But I dont see it happening if Mayweather stays on the outside, like I plan him to do.

I see what you mean, and if Mayweather stays on the outside, then even with a fighter like Gatti we might be in for a disappointing event. I think that Mayweather will win most of the first rounds and than will get ****y. Gatti's best chances are in the latter rounds where he will have to suprise a ****y and arrogant Mayweather.

Mayweather has top stamina, majority of his fights he gets ****y early and then realizes in the middle that he needs to stick to a plan. I see Gatti doing more early than late though, another thing would be to pull on Mayweather would pull a Ruiz and cling on to him much through the fight....Gatti just doesnt use any of these tactics but these are the keys to beating Mayweather....However I do expect Gatti to come in at 140 and probably weighin around 180 haha.

i think gatti will lose, but it should be competitve... much more so than gatti/oscar... gatti couldn't hurt oscar with his punches, but he should be able to hurt floyd, if he can land them.... also, by fight time gatti will probably come in at about 155

The Gatti that fought Manfredy was the old brawler.

The Gatti today is a better boxer than he ever was before. He's learned a few new tricks since he got under the watchful eye of Buddy McGirt. He doesn't get cut as much, doesn't get hit as much, he's using sweet science rather than his old brawl and trade style.

With that said - I still pick Mayweather to win. :)

thunder is just alot of noise while lighting can actually do some major damage, this may let everyone know who I am going for, if gatti beats PBF then everyone even myself would then be saying that maybe PBF wasnt as good as everyone made him out to be

This fight could really go a number of ways, here's the secenario I see:

Mayweather easily outboxes Gatti for twelve and never gets hit with anything heavy and also never trades with Gatti for any extended amount of time. He holds excessively everytime Gatti gets in close and the crowd is in a frenzy because of the lack of action. This will cause Mayweather to become even less respected than he already is. Highly likely that if he doesn't make this fight entertaining, he will never get another large PPV oppty of this stature. Mayweather has a ton more to gain by going toe to toe with Gatti. Even if he loses, the boxing community and fans will respect him and likely be more willing to pay to see him in the future. Secondly, it sets up a rematch which could possibly double his earnings of this fight. If he wins, he outslugged a slugger and has proven he can beat people both ways (yeah yeah the Corrales fight, not a slugfst IMO). Having a perfect record doesn't necessarily make the most lucrative career! Does PBF want his legend on paper, or does he want it in the minds of the people that love the sport. This is his chance.

I'm a huge Gatti fan, and I know he is a better fighter now then he was when he was younger. If by chance he does the unthinkable and knocks PBF out, he cements his legend in history as one of the strongest willed fighters of all time. In my opinion, he is a knockout away from being one of the top 10 most popular fighters ever with the American public. Up there with the likes of Ali, DLH, Tyson, SRL, Mancini, Foreman, Hagler, and Hearns.

Mayweather has worn that set of gloves in a lot of promo shoots for HBO.

Mayweather-Manfredy beat the living **** out of Gatti and Mayweather beat the holy hell out of Manfredy...I dont expect this fight to be more competitive than his fight with DLH....Gatti is a good fighter, but he is stepping in their with the best and Gatti always has trouble with boxers...Mayweather shows no signs of a brawler.

Mayweather with an down home country ass whipping on Gatti...:)
So then you actually believe that the bull**** theory of fighter A beat fighter B and fighter B beat fighter C so fighter A must be able to beat fighter C huh? Why don't you ask Barrera if that **** was true about Pacman and Morales, or Ali, Frazier, and Foreman. As well as I guess since Roy Jones beat Bernard Hopkins and Hopkins beat Glen Johnson then Roy should whoop up on Johnson right, oh that's right **** don't always work like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pacman beat the **** out of barrera who twice beat morales but morales beat the **** out of pac.

I'm pulling for gatti

If styles makes fighter, then Mayweather would beat the brawler....

Mayweather is going to simply outbox gatti, but gatti will be a danger to floyd throughout the whole fight because of his power. i dont think mayweather is dumb enough to stand in there with gatti cuz he knows he CAN get hurt. I see Mayweather winning by late round stoppage or unanimous decision

I am loving the fact that this fight is going to happen. Don't get me wrong, I don't particuarly like Floyd, I mean- he has no focus, wastes too much talent, and I will never forgive him for what he did to Corrales (at least not until a rematch), but I aboslutely loathe Arturo Gatti. And the fact is that I dont think he stands a chance against Mayweather, but I also dont think Mayweather has enough power to get Gatti out of there quick. The result? A very long, and very slow beating for Gatti...

Mayweather by KO in 10
