ok he was in

Why do you think otherwise...and lets not be bias.

ok he is not the best p4p.
mmm i can name a few all tiem greats that are better than him.
and Arturo Gatti is not a bum.
just look at his fights with Ward.
mmm tell me otherwise.

I saw the Gatti/Ward trilogy...they were exciting to watch, but also pointless. Any way, I believe Floyd has a case for best p4p. Gatti is no bum, but he's not a Floyd Mayweather either. Floyd has all the tools to beat Gatti and he will.

I think people sometimes confuse Gatti's excitedness as a fighter with greatness. He is never ranked very high, but he is still elite and not a bum by any means. His fights are some of the most entertaining you can watch and that is why he has such a big fan base. That's not overrated, that's just boxing fans who like to watch a great fight.

i think mayweather is way better too
but dude
he said he was the "best" ever
that would mean he is better than
Sugar Ray,
Ali and Tyson.
he called his father a bad trainer. thats just plain old wrong.
and even if you can make a case for p4p.
he is not that clear

imo floyd is the best p4p fighter in the world right now
b-hop is a close second

Just because no belts were on the line, doesn't mean they were pointless. The contribution to the sport that those fights made can't be measured in belts or money, but by blood and guts.

IMO, they were pointless because he could have fought much better competition. How has fighting Ward three times help his career? As long as he keeps fighting mediocre talent, he'll always be known as a blood and guts warrior who could not beat the elite fighters in his division.

are the barrera Vs Moralez pointless??

they all bring more fans to the sport
and believe me boxing right now
needs more popularity.

and well i mean Gatti is not a great fighter
but i must agree
he is by no means a bum.

I agree. Best ever? That was gross exagerration on Floyd's part. He definitely needs to check his attitude, but aside from that, I think he's a great fighter. I'm not gonna hold that against him.

I honestly think that Gatti and his crew knew that he could not take on the best fighters in the division, so they opted to go after Ward. That's not going to get you much credit in the rankings, but it drew much public attention and helped the sport a great deal. In short, fighting Ward was probably the smartest decision they could have made at that point.

Barrera vs Morales it not the same thing as Gatti Ward. B and M are hall of famer top pound for pound fighters. Ward probably would be hard to put in top 50.

No, because they are great fighters. Ward is not a great fighter. He shouldn't have wasted his time fighting Ward when he could've fought better competition especially coming off a brutal loss to DLH. He may have gained more fans, but what about his career. He should have beat Ward in the first fight and moved on to fight better competition.

Floyd has every right to think of himself as the best, if you dont think your the best, who will? You have to be overconfident in this sport, ITS BOXING, your throwing punches, your getting physically damaged in the ring, if you go out there thinking YOUR NOT THE BEST FIGHTER ON THE PLANET, your gonna get K'Oed.

I totally agree.

I think it's great to have confidence. He is truly one of the best P4P fighters out there today. The only problem with this is that if he loses, it could tear him to pieces.

great point

gatti is a bum..and just cause he had wars with mickey ward dosent mean anything..ward is a c class fighter

are the barrera Vs Moralez pointless??

of course not! not because gatti is inferior in skills doesn't mean he is a fluke. i don't know why most people downplay a warrior like gatti :boxing:

You see Mayweather is so good it actually creates controversy when he says he's the best ever (as you see on the first page of the thread.) had it been some bum with a 38-4 record who said he was the best ever people would have just brushed it off. Mayweather is the greatest fighter in the world right now.
