Haha, Another one bites the dust.


What excuses you guys got tonight on your bar brawling bum Gatti. Whats your excuses? How about Floyd was far superior and in boxing always think with your head.

Utter domination, no excuses Floyd exposed the class of fighter Gatti was. Gatti couldn’t put anything off. Decent performance for Mayweather, not great because he wasn’t fighting a great fighter.

Take your payday and leave the 140 pound division just found their king.


Your thoughts?

HAHHAHAHAHA
yUP COME ON HOW EASY

Hahahahahahahahha Gatti Is A Bum

Pretty Boy Floyd Life Style So Flashy Crem De La Crem

Wheres My Money At????

Lmfao...

to all Gatti nuthuggers..

LMAO!!

He didn't land any good shots.

HAHHAHAHAHA
yUP COME ON HOW EASY


Mayweather has had harder sparring sessions, this was more brutal than Trinidad vs Wright.

Nope, Mayweather said himself, "Gatti is a bum and his a paper champion," and "His a C+ fighter and I'm a A+ fighter!"

He dominated..I cant say anything else..Mayweather looked awesome tonight.

Lets go back to all my posts ,,I told u non know nothings about boxing that every guy mayweather fights says I couldn’t hit him,,what did gatti say , "He was hard to hit ... he was just hard to hit. I thought I did very good ... but he was too fast. I had trouble making 140 .. you'll see me at 147, if that doesn't work out, than that'll be it." -Arturo Gatti, after losing his WBC Light Welterweight Title,he was hard to hit,,,I told u mayweather Ez ,,,ez it was,I told u all that talk was just to sell u that pay per view make it look like gatti had even a punchers chance,,I told u harris was a bum ,,,and what happened ,,,harris got KO all those people saying why he duckin harris,,,and harris was talking so much shyt to mayweather at that press conference,,,gatti go to sleep,,,harris if he gets a shot will go to sleep,,,and what have I said about hatton,,he’s another bum,,,he beat an old azz tzou at wrestling,,mayweather will tattoo his azz too,,trust me like I have given u nothing but 100 percent accuracy on all my predictions,,,and don’t question mayweather again u non boxin cranium havin fools,,,I wish this forum was like a tight rope so not jus anyone voiced their opinion without known what their talking about,,,knocked that gatti all heart paper champion down in the 1st round,,who hits harder now,,,hahahahahaha.z,,,and max kellerman u haven’t got one fight right all year ur another bum,,ill knock u out in ya hbo booth ,,,ever say that hatton can beat or even compete with mayweather,u even said on ur website that mayweather would have a tough fight,,are u outta ya mind,,max ur a paper analysist,,Floyd is the best get it thru ya thick skulls,,,respect greatness as I beat my girlfriends azz,,,,hahahahahaha.z.

Lmfao...

to all Gatti nuthuggers..

LMAO!!

He really didnt land anything.

Mayweather has had harder sparring sessions, this was more brutal than Trinidad vs Wright.


Trinidad -vs- Wright wasnt brutal it was boring.....this was a true beat down.

Vicious Vivian is finished.

Cotto and Hatton are next on the hitlist.

Floyd is incredible...

floyd is the king of the 140 division and nobody will beat him there. with this win i put him #1 p4p (sorry nard)

Where's all the people who said Mayweather couldn't hurt Gatti? Especially with the pillows.

Floyd was right when he said Gatti was scared.

Did you hear how Gatti was asking Hatton for some advice on how to fight at the hotel?

To all the Floyd haters and Gatti nuthuggers, eat a FAT D**K. :D

Well this is shocking, even Floyd is more civilized and shows Gatti more respect than his own fans. It was a dominant performance and probably now got the medias full attention finally. I will enjoy watching him fight again though he still needs to clean up his act abit because theres no need for the amount of **** talking he does before a fight if he's gonna go all out praising the guy afterwards like the ****talk never happened.

Haha, Another one bites the dust.

Your thoughts?

Very harsh. Gatti fought with all the heart anyone can expect of a man, but Floyds speed was way too much for him. Gatti didnt make excuses, and Floyd was oh so respectful to him after the fight. Even said he was a great champion and was grateful that Gatti gave him the chance in the ring to begin with. For that, Floyd earned a little respect from me and I disliked him alot. Hes very slick, very damn fast...seems to be the complete package. there should be no shame in Gatti losing to someone of his caliber but I see absolutely no reason for Gatti to leave the div. why would he?? If every fighter that lost to a better boxer left, there'd be no one left to watch. :confused:

The Gatti fanboys are nowhere to be seen because all they can do is keep their mouths shut. Utter domination.

FLoyd would handle any 140 pounder easy

Where the money where the money where the money at. I won $150. Easy call?

So whats this about Floyd crying? From what I read he fought perfectly and Gatti couldnt land anything. I still dont like the ****iness, but the man can back it up. One ****y fighter got his though. Vivian Harris got KOd.

The Gatti fanboys are nowhere to be seen because all they can do is keep their mouths shut. Utter domination.
im a gatti fan im not scared to face mayweather fans. gatti was beat by a superior boxer plain and simple gatti was outclassed

I was hoping Gatti would win cause this Floyd is an *******, but i always gave Gatti only a punchers chance to win. I doubt Floyd would fight anyone worth mentioning right now cause nobody wants a piece of him. The only guy who can give him trouble is Hatton not cause hes a great boxer but cause he doesnt get tired and he can come in throw 2000 shots and bum rush Floyd.


also i think Gatti can beat anybody at 140 and 147 easly. Its just that nobody can beat Mayweather

So whats this about Floyd crying? From what I read he fought perfectly and Gatti couldnt land anything. I still dont like the ****iness, but the man can back it up. One ****y fighter got his though. Vivian Harris got KOd.

He did....he cried like a baby after the win. Understandable I think.

i've always knew floyd would beat this c level fighter :D

Gatti is a joke. We all knew from day 1 Floyd was going to eat him alive

Very harsh. Gatti fought with all the heart anyone can expect of a man, but Floyds speed was way too much for him. Gatti didnt make excuses, and Floyd was oh so respectful to him after the fight.

All of the top guys, Hatton/Mayweather/Tszyu/Cotto all beat Gatti. Gatti is in to rich of a division wherever he goes (140,147) Gatti is finished. Make one last big payday at 147 and ride into the sunlight.

People need to realize that most of the ****-talking that happens is just to hype the fight up more. I doubt most fighters really mean most of the **** talking they throw out.

FLoyd would handle any 140 pounder easy


Actually he wouldn't. Hatton and Cotto would give him all he can handle. I know you feel like he's superman right now because he dominated an overrated club level fighter but really now...

i think Gatti can beat any of the top fighters, Mayweather is just in a league of his own

Finished? this is the first fight he's lost in yr's. Maybe he should move up to Welter...either way, I wouldnt say he's finished just yet.

Otto ur a bum like ur father ,,,and ur mom tell her not to be late to shine my mutha phuken shoes,,are u outta ya mind,,,u know not a shyt about boxing,,,gatti fought from outside an got smoked,,hatton will rush and wont land a thing either,,,i told u before the fight a week ago mayweather Ez ,,,i told u all his opponents say i couldnt hit him and what did gatti say ,,he was hard to hit,,,,hard to hit,,,u didnt hit him gatti,,,otta i want u to fight mayweather before hatton on the same night as a warmup excersise for mayweather so when he destoys hatton ull see what i mean,,,speed freezes shyt like u jumpin into outter space,,slow down,,,great song back in the days,,,hatton will not get off 2000 shots cuz he wont land anything just like gatti didnt land anything,,,and u better believe that in hattons mind he's thinking i cant bang with mayweather,,he already knows it fool,,,now go outside and wash my car.......

Mayweather had him beat Mentally...

Gatti and his camp talk about they had a plan to beat Mayweather, but it's clear that they had no plan. For god sakes the guy was asking Ricky Hatton before the fight for some pointers.

Actually he wouldn't. Hatton and Cotto would give him all he can handle. I know you feel like he's superman right now because he dominated an overrated club level fighter but really now...


I think Mayweather has the most trouble with Hatton out of all of them. Hatton is quick as hell and unlike Gatti he doesnt head hunt he goes straight to the body. Hatton could be the man at 140 he has the speed and power along with the beard to get the job done.

If Mayweather fights Hatton all I can say is that it will be a very competitive fight but Mayweather better pray for a big ring.

I still think Cotto is really green and needs a fight or two with another top level guy before he takes a stab at Mayweather.

All I have to say is that after a performance like that people have to start talking about Mayweather's place among the all-time greats, never mind who's fighting now. Don't try to say that Gatti wasn't a high-caliber opponent, we know he's good and he got slaughtered. But more than that, more than that, Mayweather put on a boxing performance that was one of most skillful, and one of the most dominant you will probably ever see. Simple as that.

jinx, your post from late yesterday about this being a blowout was prophetic. Good call :cool: .

hahahahaah what the hell?? Is Floyd ur brother or something?? I didnt say he would beat him, i said he would give him trouble, but i still would favor Floyd by UD

FLoyd would handle any 140 pounder easy
Wheres your Vivan Harris signature? Huh? The one aimed at Cotto?

Finished? this is the first fight he's lost in yr's. Maybe he should move up to Welter...either way, I wouldnt say he's finished just yet.


Yeah but he hasnt fought anyone in the same league, really though Gatti might be exciting but he hasnt beaten anyone of note except some blown up lightweights.

Gatti moves to 147 that is even deeper waters for him when he takes on a top 10 guy. All of the top guys at 140-147 aside from Hatton are boxers and Hatton is to rugged for Gatti at this stage in his career.

Bring ma man Hatton gainst Mayweather!

However, Mayweather says he doesn't want Hatton right now, least in Europe.

People need to realize that most of the ****-talking that happens is just to hype the fight up more. I doubt most fighters really mean most of the **** talking they throw out.

This needs to be said again. Mayweather said himself that "fighters like to talk"

Its a shame that he thinks thats the only way to sell a pay per view fight

Actually he wouldn't. Hatton and Cotto would give him all he can handle. I know you feel like he's superman right now because he dominated an overrated club level fighter but really now...

First, ouch on the avatar, man.

Secondly, yeah. Hatton might give him a good fight, just because he comes in so fast, and never slows down. That fight will probably not happen any time soon, as Hatton has showed his distaste for fighting in MSG. I actually haven't seen any Cotto fights, so I can't say much about him so I'll go on with Hatton. Mayweather can actually win a fight against Hatton with relative ease, because Hatton cuts pretty easy. If Mayweather could get a cut early, he has the speed and accuracy to take full advantage of that and TKO Hatton early on.

If he can't do that, he'd have his hands full all night, because Ricky would NOT stop coming.

spinxjinx, there's no way Mayweather would agree to fight Hatton if it wasn't a 22x22, or whatever the biggest ring is. He may be arrogant, but he isn't stupid.

naw man Cotto would get Murdered even more than what Gatti did if he fought Floyd

Gatti was a paper champion all along,,,its not that i think that mayweather is superman,,its that mayweather still had 100 gears left ,,,he beat u in 1st gear,,,lmfaooooooooo,,,hatton is a bum,,,sum fight outside like gatti and get destroyed ,,,sum will rish like hatton and get destroyed just cuz hatton threw 100000000 punches a round against whoever dont think he will throw anything let alone land anything against mayweather,,,,speed freezes,,,and mayweather can beat A fighters and D fighters,,,cotto is technical,,but that speed will blind him too,,,phuk outta hea..........

naw man Cotto would get Murdered even more than what Gatti did if he fought Floyd


I believe Cotto would atleast be able to pull off a jab. :D

Cotto is not ready for Floyd right now..Maybe Hatton is. That would be awesome..what ever happened to Mitchell?..after the 2nd Tszyu fight I havent heard anything from him..thats a fight I would of loved to see Floyd -vs- Mitchell.

I know the av is rough ain't it?

For any of you ****ers (not you magick) saying he'd beat Cotto easily you need a reality check. Hatton and Cotto are both leagues ahead of Gatti. Hatton is a tough bastard with a rugged style, great body attack, and a very good chin. He'd JLC Mayweathers ass all over again except he's bigger and probably a little stronger.

Cotto has quick hands, again a great body attack, a great left hook, and the all around skills to punish Mayweather when he makes mistakes. He's a very good counter puncher and might be the heaviest hitter in the division.

Both of these guys would give Mayweather all sorts of trouble and I'd bet big time with any of you that Cotto would KO his ass.

Mitchell moved up to welter and was on the undercard of the Tyson fight. He won on the scorecards after a brutal headbutt ended the fight in the fifth (Mitchell was the one who got the worst of it).

Could be a tune-up fight if and when Floyd moves to welter, though.

i would thikn Hatton would givew him way more touble cause hes comes fast and never stops even if he hit 3 shots out of 10 million he throws. Cotto would get demolished cause he cant do anything that Gatti could havne done

You're underrating Mayweather's punching power. I don't see how anyone could do that after tonight. Cotto got rattled by Corley, I think Floyd would kill him.

Cotto KOs Mayweather?

Pistons would beat San Antonio?

Right from one of my previous posts. explaining the beating of Gatti

People say that Floyd is going to loose because he runs his mouth and is going to take Gatti lightly. Getting paid 3.1 million plus bonuses from the selling of the ppv makes you not only run your mouth to help get the tickets sold out on the first day but also to get people to buy the ppv. Floyd has used Gatti not to be a tough fight but to help him become a superstar to the public. He is going to run through Gatti and move on to bigger paydays and even bigger fights. Hes all buisness when he steps in that ring and will prove it to the world watching.

"I'm going to beat him, I'm going to talk to him while I beat him, I'm going to talk to the reporters and announcers while I beat him, and in between rounds, I want to borrow his cell phone so I can talk to a real live Arturo Gatti fan while I beat him."-Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Come June 25th, this truly is the last day we will see Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

TO all Gatti fans, I told ya so. People said that BS not gona happen. Well I guess it did

I know the av is rough ain't it?

Cotto doesnt have anything special he just another The American Dream Reid, overated. He looked real bad against a journeyman, all he showed was some power but even that he kinda left questions with not putting down Muhamed with some serious shots that he landed. Mayweather would run circles around him.

Cotto KOs Mayweather?

Pistons would beat San Antonio?


7 game series down to the wire...if you're making that comparison then Mayweather would beat Cotto by SD in a controversial fight where Cotto just faded down the stretch and gave the fight away to Mayweather.


Bombardier put your points up. If you're so sure about that then put every point in your bank on the line against me should they fight. You too jack. That goes for everyone on here. I'm willing to possibly go bankrupt should a Mayweather/Cotto fight come off.

I have no desire to become the richest mother-****er on boxingscene.

Mayweather would UD him 10 rounds to 2..

haha hell I don't even know how many points I have, but I could probably throw some in, sure. Hope you're not too pissed off, I've said before that Cotto would probably be his biggest test at 140, though I haven't seen too much of Hatton. Anyway, could be a good one :cool: .

**** i would throw in my life on that bet. Floyd in 5 rounds.

Gatti isnt a bum, Mayweather is just great. I dont see anybody beating Floyd right now. Cotto is only 24 so he has time to mature. Hatton beat an old tyzu who might not even be as good as Floyd. I doubt Gatti goes anywhere,there might be a Hatton Gatti fight before a Mayweather Hatton fight just for the money. I want to see mayweather go after the best fighters now. Zab Judah and Shane Mosely are very appealing fights if he goes up or they decide to go down.

I'm not pissed I'm just high on life or something.

Anyway, I've been a huge Cotto fan for longer than anyone else I know (besides Borikua I think...ever since I saw him fight Juuko) and I've done nothing but prop him up saying he'll rule the 140 pound division. I'm ready to put mucho BS pointage on that ****.

Dont sleep on Oscar De la Hoya, this guy loves a challenge and he doesnt avoid anyone, if he gets focused again i can easly see fireworks

Is there still big money for taking Gatti on, after what happened tonight?

Cool, I'm pretty keyed up too, which is why I want to make sure I'm not coming off like an ******* or anything :cool: .

I was down on Cotto a bit before but he made me a fan again with the Abduallev fight. His work ethic, endurance and ability to change tactics on the fly are top-notch.

Dont sleep on Oscar De la Hoya, this guy loves a challenge and he doesnt avoid anyone, if he gets focused again i can easly see fireworks


Yes he does...he avoided Ike Quartey after he got that gift decision and instead of the rematch went for a big time grueling test against a past his best Oba Carr. :rolleyes:

I'm thinking Gatti-Mosley might come off. Why not? Both fighter will think they have a chance in this one. 2005 Mosley is not '99 Mosley and Gatti would have a much easier time keeping up with him. You heard it here first.

Yes he does...he avoided Ike Quartey after he got that gift decision and instead of the rematch went for a big time grueling test against a past his best Oba Carr. :rolleyes:


i think the Quartey fight was his best fight ever i had hi winning by 3 rounds. Specially how he came out in the 12 round throwing punches like no other, i still get goosebumps when i see it.

Floyd was dominant in this fight no doubt but lets not get ahead of ourselves, gatti WAS NOT one of the elite fighters in the division. I think hatton and cotto give floyd all he can handle and with another tough fight under his belt I think cotto can knock floyd out.

no one can call gatti a bum for his performance tonight, he was dominated no doubt, but every boxer who gets into a ring should have respect. i dont respect floyd though because of how much **** he talks. gatti will remain my favorite fighter because he stands what i think boxing stands for. he doesnt turn down a fight, he fights against odds, he has heart, courage, he believes in himself and he doesnt talk **** to get more money he doesnt sell himself out. although i think gatti would have done better(not saying he'd win) if he had reverted back to his origianl style of pressure and going to war. you cant expect to change gatti's style of going to war, which he is comfotable in and dominates, into a boxer. and then put him up against mayweather who is superb in that styleof fighting. it doesnt work like that. its like taking tyson and training him to be bernard hopkins.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. GATTI IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT BOXING STANDS FOR>

Very harsh. Gatti fought with all the heart anyone can expect of a man, but Floyds speed was way too much for him. Gatti didnt make excuses, and Floyd was oh so respectful to him after the fight. Even said he was a great champion and was grateful that Gatti gave him the chance in the ring to begin with. For that, Floyd earned a little respect from me and I disliked him alot. Hes very slick, very damn fast...seems to be the complete package. there should be no shame in Gatti losing to someone of his caliber but I see absolutely no reason for Gatti to leave the div. why would he?? If every fighter that lost to a better boxer left, there'd be no one left to watch. :confused:

I agree with a lot of what you've said.

I'm a big Gatti fan. No excuses. Gatti lost to the better man, clearly. Floyd looks incredible at 140. I dont' think this fight proved Gatti to be a bad fighter. Especially since that would be taking away from Floyd's performance. Mayweather is an incredible fighter. There is no shame in losing to someone with that much skill. Floyd also showed he's settled into 140 very well, and he's hitting damned hard. Mayweather looked like he was in better condition that I've ever seen him.

Leave the Gatti fans alone. There guy took a beating, and showed the determination they love. He took his beating like a man, and had the class to admit his defeat without making any excuses. Mayweather also showed quite a bit of class, which I was really happy about.

I just don't agree that Gatti should keep fighting. I think all the punches have caught up with him. He stood up under a lot of punishment that most fighters couldn't handle. But really, I don't want to see him hurt, because he's one of my favourite fighters to watch. He's thirty three, and that's getting pretty old to be taking punishment like that. It will start to leave very permanent damage on him. If he can't handle 140 anymore, and has to move to 147, I just don't see him being able to do very much. He's looking like he's past his peak.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. GATTI IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT BOXING STANDS FOR>


i dont even think people on this site know what a "bum" stands for, and if they did know what a bum is, "pretty boy" floyd is a perfect example.

It will start to leave very permanent damage on him. If he can't handle 140 anymore, and has to move to 147, I just don't see him being able to do very much. He's looking like he's past his peak.

this is true, gatti is and always will be what the sport is about, he showed determination and will where many people would call it quits. he lost to someone who is in his prime and there is no excuse for that and he made no excuse. there is also no shame in it niether.how can you disrespect a man who has shown such unique qualities that are hard to come upon in this sport today? it bewilders me, they are as arrogant as mayweather himself. and whoever actually believed what mayweather said after that fight about gatti is a gullable fool. that was only to try and cover up all the disrespecting trash talk he had been saying for the weeks before the fight and to try and make fans.

You do it to Mayweather o'plenty just because you don't like his attitude. All the way to downright lying about him running tonight.

You don't like him? Fine, but don't spew outright bull****.

Mayweather had a chance to trash-talk Gatti in the ring, and after the fight, like he always does. Whether his intentions were completely honest, I'm happy Gatti didn't have to hear it.

Right from one of my previous posts. explaining the beating of Gatti

People say that Floyd is going to loose because he runs his mouth and is going to take Gatti lightly. Getting paid 3.1 million plus bonuses from the selling of the ppv makes you not only run your mouth to help get the tickets sold out on the first day but also to get people to buy the ppv. Floyd has used Gatti not to be a tough fight but to help him become a superstar to the public. He is going to run through Gatti and move on to bigger paydays and even bigger fights. Hes all buisness when he steps in that ring and will prove it to the world watching.

"I'm going to beat him, I'm going to talk to him while I beat him, I'm going to talk to the reporters and announcers while I beat him, and in between rounds, I want to borrow his cell phone so I can talk to a real live Arturo Gatti fan while I beat him."-Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Come June 25th, this truly is the last day we will see Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

TO all Gatti fans, I told ya so. People said that BS not gona happen. Well I guess it did

Well the only real ppl who actually thought gatti was goin to win are the Hardcore gatti fans so it wasn't really BS, we all pretty much new pbf was going to win. Gatti was the underdog no doubt coming into this fight.

alright maybe running was the wrong word :D i like mayweather the boxer, i dont like mayweather as the person he is. to be honest if he was respectful of gatti and respectful of the sport and not constantly running his mouth and showing off then he porbbaly would be one of my favorite boxers. he shows excellent skill,sorry i didnt meanrun just like, you know.

Is there still big money for taking Gatti on, after what happened tonight?


Absolutely, Gatti is a warrior and a peoples champion and if it is in AC there will always be money. A loss doesnt matter for a fighter like Gatti and his drawing power.

Wheres your Vivan Harris signature? Huh? The one aimed at Cotto?

Vivian fought the dumbest fight I ever remember seeing him fight! I dont know what he was thinking, but he blew it in a big way and I spent most of the rds bouncing between yelling at him to just JAB and askign him what on earth he thought he was doing!! :eek: So busy trying to impress the crowd and then to just get caught the way he did, shockign!
