I havnt heard any talks about Floyds hands during this build up to the fight. I was wondering if Floyd still has the problem with his hands during fights. And if he does wat will happen to his brittle hands when he hits that hard head of Gatti.

He supposedly has a new guy that has been wrapping his hands and since then it hasn't given him any problems. Plus he's been using the Japanese brand gloves called Winning that is supposed to protect the hands more.

I think people should worry more about Gatti's hand problems because they have been more recent than Mayweather's.

Mayweather's hand will be no problem in this fight, if there was anything wrong I sure you would heard about it.

There hasnt been any in recent memory and I dont think there will be any tonight. He landed some pretty devastating shots on Corley and he walked out of the ring with no problems. Easy night for Mayweather.

Yeah he was great vs. Corley. What I think sets him apart from everyone else is his defense. He has the best defense in the sport.

I believe his defense is far more superior than James Toney who has one of the best. Only if Mayweather could perfect an uppercut would he be a complete fighter.

great vs Chop Chop? hardly. he would have been knocked out in that fight if chop chop was a more agressive fighter. Corley actually had Mayweather hurt pretty bad and stumbling but failed to jump on him a finish it while Floyd was just leaning stary eyed against the ropes.

Gatti will not do that. If Gatti lands big and stuns Mayweather he will knock him out. The problem lies there for Gatti. If Mayweather fights smart he can avoid taking a big punch all night. If Mayweather fights like he did early in the fight against Chop Chop he will be picking his teeth up after the fight.

Corley is a good fighter he would defeat Gatti, I believe Corley is faster and far more skilled than Gatti.

Mayweather had his way through majority of the fight he got stunned once but other than that he smacked Corley around and Mayweather proved he brought some punch with him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!

Chop Chop would get completely dominated by Gatti. He doesn't hit near as hard and does not have the skills that Gatti has. Gatti would break that kids ribs.

Mayweather's speed and quickness make up for the his lack of power. Corley would probably beat Gatti, Corley is a skilled fighter I agree.

I just finished up watching Corley vs Mayweather 5 minutes ago and when Mayweather dropped Corley, well when he landed that barrage to the head and Corley took a knee did you hear the cracking from the gloves? Mayweather was wearing winning gloves and it sounded like a hammer when he landed those punches on Corley's head.

Mayweather hits harder than most think.


Ask Corrales! :D

-By the way I agree Mayweather isn't as weak as some say...

you people are so blinded by your love for that disrespectful, greedy, uneducated Mayweather that b/c Corley almost knocked your boy out you build him up to be Roy Jones. Gatti would destroy Corley.

I am hoping Gatti pressures Mayweather all night and breaks that little punks jaw. I hope Gatti watches Castillo vs Mayweather 1...since Mayweather clearly lost that fight.

No its not any type of bias, I mean I am a fan but even if I wasn't its just reality that Mayweather is way better than Gatti will most likely dominate tonight.

oh i agree with you there. I think mayweather is the better fighter and far more skilled. He SHOULD win the fight tonight if he is smart. Problem is I don't think Mayweather has a good chin at this weight level. If Gatti catches him it could be night night!

What makes you think Gatti could catch Mayweather? I expect Mayweather to dance around and pot shot punish Gatti all night long.

Gatti is slow and doesnt have the level of skill to compete with Mayweather. If Corrales or Castillo couldnt do damage I highly doubt Gatti will. Both fighters are come forward brawlers (who also can box) and it didnt do much for them. Gatti cant even come forward well, he just likes to stand and trade. Gatti doesnt have a shot.

CUFreeze

first off if you saw Castillo 1 you know Mayweather lost that fight by at least 4 rounds just like the unofficial scorecard said.

secondly Gatti is definitely not slow. Mayweather should try and box him all night and stay away...but remember he is pissed off and wants to fight and I LOVE IT! PLEEEEEASE Mayweather...be pissed off...go in there and trade with Gatti!!! PLLLLEEEEEASE!!!!!!

That loud mouth, disrespectful, money worshipping punk won't know what hit him!!!! haha!

We will see, the only thing Gatti has is size and that isnt even a factor as Mayweather outclasses him in that as well. Gatti has no room for error and he is a brawler. You can eat your own crow tonight when actions speak louder than words.

Gatti has no room for error? I think that would obviously be the other way around. Gatti makes and error and he gets hit...so what? he has been hit a lot more times by a lot stronger fighters. Now if Mayweather makes a mistake then he will be on the ground crying for his uncle.

Crow? Nah...I say that Mayweather should win. He definitely should win...but I hope to God he doesn't. He doesn't deserve to win. His type do not belong in this sport. That is why I love seeing fighers like Jermaine Taylor and Ricky Hatton. The youn guys who show resepct. No matter how good Mayweather is he is just some street punk with no education that worships his money. too bad he fails to realize that if he wasn't such a complete moron he could be make A LOT more money.

Yeah all of those stronger fighters whooped his ass, Gatti hasnt beaten 1 top class opponent. Gatti has NEVER even fought an opponent on Mayweathers level and won.

Looking at just their in ring antics and not how they act or what they say outside the ring. Mayweather wins easily. Gatti hasnt done anything.

Come on man, think with your head instead of your heart.

I doubt it, he is a pretty good technician and has a chin better than Gatti himself.

Cotto couldnt KO Corley I highly doubt Gatti could.


Gatti has never been in and won with a true man of his weight class that was a top 10 guy.

i wouldn't go as far as that, they are still top level world class boxers, their technique is maybe not as good as some, but they showed how good their heart and chins were in those fights.

dude you keep changing what you are talking about. you said Gatti didn't have the chin of chop chop...then you go on to say Mickey War sucks. Mickey Ward may not have been the best fighter ever but the guy could hit hard and had a chin of steel.

he hit Gatti a ton and Gatti took it all...that my friend = a great chin.

only problem floyd might face is that he was a lightweight for his whole career prior to i believe corley might be wrong. he is coming up against one of the hardest punchers in the division. i think floyd will win the fight but i know gatti will catch him. i believe there might be an early knockdown as i think gatti will bullrush him into the ropes. mayweathers defense might be good but gatti is going to use the rocky marciano tactic of wailing away on the arms this will take a lot of steam out of mayweathers punches and cause him to not be able to protect his heads with his hands as well. i see gatti focusing on the arms and body for the first 4 round maybe a flurry to the body than defend. after 4 or 6 rounds i think he will have done what he wants to do and he will knockout mayweather. that is if he fights like that and assuming mayweather allows him to fight like that 8 hours and 11 minutes away i am looking forward to see the gatti plan.

I am not changing nothing you are the one who brought up Ward when I said Corley could whoop up on Gatti. But Ward is below Corley. That is all I am saying. I realize people have there favorites but Gatti is a hyped up brawler with about as much skill as Mayweathers jock.
