"Flamboyant" Floyd Mayweather, 33-0 with 22 knockouts, is the most gifted and talented boxer of this generation.

Arturo "Thunder" Gatti (39-6, 30 KO’s), is pound-for-pound boxing’s most exciting fighter and has much more boxing ability than he is given credit for.

Gatti has not faced anyone close to the level of Mayweather (lone exception: Arturo’s TKO loss to Oscar De La Hoya in 2001; at 147 pounds), while the flamboyant one has been in with - and soundly defeated - great champions: Genaro Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo (twice) and DeMarcus Corley.
