I think that there is a chance that PBF is so confident he might actually come out and try to KO Gatti and fight his fight.

Then this could get interesting........

The fight is definitly mayweathers to lose but I could see him pulling something stupid,

I am a big Gatti fan, and am hoping Floyd may be overconfidnet and careless, but I just don't see Gatti pulling it off.

Mayweather is too fast and too skilled.

I think he will TKO Gatti in the same fashion he did Manfredy.

He'll catch and stun Gatti with a big shot, and will throw 10-15 quick unanswered punches, and Gatti will be out on his feet as the ref jumps in.

PBF is allready probably the best fighter in the world.

That's why I think he might choose to make this fight a war.

Remember when Ward landed that 4-5 hit combo in the 5th rd on Gatti? All which were completely unanswered. Imagine Floyd doing that? The only difference is he'd prolly get in 5-10 before Gatti realizes he's been hit once. I highly doubt were gonna see any of the old Gatti in this fight unless it comes down to it that he knows he needs to bring out the Gatti of the old to win because Floyd's courage and heart has yet to be tested. Like I said before, Gatti has been coming up with new plans for each of his opponents with McGirt, which I highly bet they have been working heavily on some sort of mistake(if any), that Floyd has. All I know is that Gatti hits harder than Corley and Corley hit Floyd afew good times.

I never said that either, let me put it very simple for you people out there, PBF is not the top P4P man out there, you do not get dubbed the greatest fighter in world by beating corley and brussels, its that simple.

But thanks vince for a good laugh, I know I could count on somebody to try and belitte Gatti when I nevered mentioned him in my post. Congrats.

Ill bet any Gatti fan on the fight as much as u want points and avator. This is going to be a good old boxing lesson... remember when ODLH boxed and slammed Gatti, same thing but just later round. Gatti is nothing but a over hyped brawler. I have an idea lets pay Micky Ward and Gatti to fight once a month on HBO and just brawl it out and let the true boxersl ike Floyd go on to better things. Like Floyd pointed out Gatti isnt even a true champ.. Tyszu got stripped and he fought Branco for a vacant title, what a bum. Mayweather will take that title and Gatti's career away come June 25th.

first off.. i luv these discussions lol.... secondly, i think gatti should try and make it a war with PBF. think about it, gatti has become a boxer, but lord knows he can't outbox floyd. gatti defintiely has the power edge IMO. if he brawls n stuff thats something that mayewather hasnt done, so we dont know if hes good at that. i think for gatti to win, he needs to bring the old gatti out.
i like PBF, but he talks LOTS of **** dam. like i mean, i think somebody needs to shut him up... n a veteran and hardowrker like gatti, mayb the perfect gy for the job

im hoping gatti will win this fight, pbf isnt as strong as ward was and the gatti/ward fights were constant wars and you could see how much punishment gatti could take and still come up with a victory, pbf's boxing with less power will give gatti more time in the ring and more of a chance to catch pbf when he slips

i am not a *****boyfloyd fan. i think he's overrated. he has the most natural ability than any fighter in recent times. and he's been able to back up his loud mouth. but look at the fighters he's faught. i don't even consider his win over corrales.corrales was beat before he climbed into the ring.
gatti is going to need pbfs' help to win. and with pbf's clowning and maybe not being serious gatti may get it. pbf's power is not proven and gatti somehow wakes up when he's getting pounded on.
hope pbf goes to 147. then we'll see if he's aquired enough boxing skills because his power doesnt match a mosley,delahoya and some of the others.i just don't think he's that smart and has gotten by on his youth and natural abilities so far. time will tell

Whatever anyone says about Arturo Gatti, make no mistake, he sure as hell ain't no bum. He's certainly not as good a boxer as Pretty Boy, but I'll bet my ass that he's a far superior fighter.
It's just two different approaches to boxing, and we can't say one suck because we like the other.
The next couple of months will show us fans what approach will prevail, with Floyd- Gatti and Kostya- Hatton.
Personally, I think the boxers will prevail rather convincingly, but I can see scenarios the other way.

Come to think about it, wouldn't Hatton- Gatti provide a fun match-up?

Has Mayweather ever had the opportunity to become a Super-Star by swinging for the fences? Has Mayweather ever been given a chance to fight someone who would be considered a challenge, and if that person was a challenge would the public even know their name.

The audience for this fight is like nothing Mayweather has ever experienced, this is by far his biggest fight, why did john ruiz change his style to be more crowd pleasing, why did chris bryd, for $$$$$$$.

Mayweather has an opportunity to $$$$$ and prove he is a fighter worth watching, to more than the boxing purists by winning this fight with a more physical style.

Floyd will try to play games, he will get over confidenent leave himself open Gatti lands a devastating left hook to the body then quickly follows it up with a right hook to the head then another left hook to the body. Mayweather goes down for the first time his career. Gatti stands over Mayweather's limp corpse and says "how do like that boy." Mayweather gets up, Gatti hits him in the liver again after a couple of straight rights. Mayweather goes down again and this time stays down. Gatti wins KO 7 And becomes Kostay Tzyu's next opponent.

Yeah Here is another fact about Gatti's "losses" one was from cuts against Manfready. One was a Split descison loss. Another was a majority descison loss. The time he lost by UD. He lost by only 1 point on 2 of the judges cards 95-94. He got TKO'd by De La Hoya that his only real descive defeat. And De La Hoya was just alot bigger than he was.

Manfredy owned Gatti before the cut and the cut was opened up by a punch, total domination.

Manfredy dominated Gatti and Gatti was the slugger and Manfredy was the boxer. Mayweather fought Manfredy and Manfredy dominated Gatti and Mayweather outclassed Manfredy. I think if Manfredy outclassed Gatti with his boxing skills and Mayweather outclassed Manfredy with his skills Gatti stands no realistic chance. A strong stiff jab defeats a wild hook any day of the week.

Using your logic Dorin & Gamache would have held their own against Gatti, right?

Let me tell you something, size means nothing if you're more skilled than your opponent. Look at prime Tyson, the guy was fighting guys waaaaay bigger and taller than him and he would still make them look like crap. To say De La Hoya's size was his only advantage against Gatti is an understatement, De La Hoya was just the superior fighter, boxer, puncher, etc.

This is a skilled fighter Mckay. Not someone who leads with their head and absorbs punishment.

1 hit? Mayweather jumps in with flurries and steps back and stiffs you with the jab.

I find it rather humorous you talk about Mayweather hitting once but that is all Gatti has is just 1 punch. Heart and 1 punch is hardly skill.

SKILL- Proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience.


You're forgetting the fighting factors though spinks :rolleyes:

Floyd Mayweather is supremly fast technically great boxer. But Gatti is as good of a fighter as there is. This fight is the prize fighter, vs the boxer, who thinks he stil in the amateures just hte rounds are longer.

Okay well the extremely fast, super skilled, technically great boxer is going to merc the blood n guts, not so supremely skilled warrior.

It's going to be like Whitaker/Chavez, only Gatti is not even a fraction of what Chavez was and Floyd is going to give him the beating of a lifetime.

Damn it McKay. He knocks people out. What in the hell else do you want him to do? Change his fighting style, in order to suit the crowd? why would he do that?

When he waits for an opening, he takes it. He is a patient fighter...who you arent giving enough credit to. Watch his damn fight with Emmanuel Burton, and then tell me...he is a *****. that is ridiculous. He stands in the pocket, and makes people miss with the mongoose style, or shoulder tuck, or whatever.

People keep talking about how he is unable to take punishment....and that is why he runs. WRONG. He does not always punch 1 time and run, considering he took every damn shot in the book flush from Burton, who is extremely dangerous.

Alot of the shots Burton was throwing were sneaking in when he was on the ropes. His chin is better than most people give him credit for.

You are also missing something. You are acting like he cant fight. That is not true. When elected to do so......he can trade and fight.

In a related story. Have you seen Bryd V.S. Oquendo? did you see how Byrd changed his style late....and was attacking Fres? Larry Merchant's exact words:

"I dont believe I have seen this side of Byrd before. Chris Byrd is looking like Joe Frazier in the ring tonight".

That is not how Gatti fights. Gatti knows how to throw punches, and take punches, he can jab, but he knows puts on a show. And the amount of heart and determination he displays in the ring is something that is awe inspiring. So is his left hook to the body. Its all part of being a Fighter.

Frazier never knocked him out...wrong again.

Clay wasn't technically superior or technically sound either. He was a lot like Roy Jones where he was just so naturally skilled and knew how to use his skills to win.

first of all, he start the fight all wrong. gatti in the first 2 round try box with mayweather, i mean GATTI C LEVEL BOXER TRY TO BOX WITH MAYWEATHER AA+ BOXER is not gonna work, he should brawl mayweather from the beginning make him uncomfortable and punish him to the body, but he lose that chance because stupid coach and his gameplan.
