I think Gatti looked really good tonight but he is gonna have to go back to old Gatti to have any chance against Floyd. He sure wont beat him in a boxing match. I think Floyd will stop him late after cutting him up bad. Gatti will come chargin at Floyd but he will lose wind and get pop shoted to death. :cool:

I have seen him fight alot its one thing to hold on and punch back and fourth but to chase someone when your tired is another. Gatti has heart but if u watch his fights when he is hanging on and banging it out he never has to chase his oppenent ( i.e Ward fight) with Floyd he will need to chase Floyd and he wont be able to catch him.

I think he just meant because of Floyd's style. He lets people hit him and he rolls the punches which usally tires out your opponent. Kind of like what Ouma did tonight

Yea yea...I am a fan of Gatti. So I have to put the most positive spin I can on it. Gatti is far better than Chop Chop Corley and Bruseles, and both landed some flush shots on Mayweather. If Gatti boxes like he did tonight...he should catch Mayweather eventually and then we'll see how Mayweather deals with some flush shots from Gatti. Yes..Gatti will swell, and probably cut. He will also miss a lot, everyone that fights mayweather does....but when he lands.....

No Gatti isnt better then Chop. Bruseles didnt land any clean punches hardly and if you think that Gatti will have any chance of out boxing Mayweather then your crazy.

Although I thought Gatti looked pretty damn good in the ring tonight the one thing I caught myself noticing more than anything else was that, Leija only landed a handful of straight rights and to me Gatti's left eye was looking like it wasn't gonna fair to well if the fight lasted any longer. I know that to me Gatti looks pretty much half beaten up by the time he gets into the ring, but I really noticed his left eye didn't seem to fair well at all and that I think could be an even worse problem for him in future fights, alot more so than it has hampered him up to now in his career. If he does fight Floyd, and that imo is a HUGE IF, than either he lands a right on PBF like the one he caught JJL with tonight and hurts him bad enough to stop him VERY early on in the fight, or else he gets pitter patter punched into a chewed up piece of meat over the course of about 1-9 rds. en-route to a lopsided tko defeat.

Oh come on now. I agree with you in saying Gatti won't beat Mayweather, but to say Corely is better than Gatti? Corely has done nothing. Give me a break.

gatti is not better then corley...gatti beat dorin ward bronco and now leija...none of these fighters good..who has dorin ward bronco beat thats any good ever??...and leija is dam near 40 and his best weight was 130

Gatti is going to have tough time landing clean shots on Mayweather, I predict Mayweather by a 11th TKO.

Right back at you....who has Corely beat? Nobody was really mentioning Leija'a age before the fight....only the fact that he beat Bojado. A win over Leija is better than any win Corely and even Mayweather has had at 140lbs. Give credit where credit is due.

I really am interested in this upcoming bout. You have Mayweather, with the better boxing skills, and then Arturo, who has shown large improvements in his boxing ability. Will he try to outbox Mayweather? Probably not. Since Mayweather is the natural boxer I'd think Arturo's plan would be to make it a war. Mayweather likes to paw and tap away his opponents jabs with his lead hand and even catches jabs at times..boxing him would be a mistake.

Gatti has absolutely no chance of outboxing Floyd, and I think he might have a 1 in 100 chance to upset Floyd. Gatti is better than Chop Chop :D

That sounds about right. I love to watch Gatti fight, but he is going to be butchered :(

i'm rooting for gatti but think mayweather will win. does mayweather have a chin? the consensus is that gatti will have to brawl to win but the question is does he have the power and or does mayweather have the chin to take it?

There is always a chance when it comes to Gatti but on paper mayweather has the style to beat gatti he is too quick especially when he fought his last fight did you see how fast he jumps back he jumps like 5 feet back so it would be hard for gatti to touch him, and I do not think floyd is dumb enough to trade with gatti.

imagine meldrick taylor vs chavez if gatti can knock down floyd in the later rounds maybe he can have the ref stop it with only 5 seconds to go hahahaah

Yeah..I think the entire Gatti fight will be one-sided with Floyd eventually stopping him. Then you'll hear some Gatti fans post a thread calling it a premature stoppage..

prob one sided in Mayweather's favor. Should have good hype though.

Boxing PBF would not be wise for GAtti. What other improvements did he show besides jab yesterday. None. And to beat PBF jab will definately not be enough. The only chance of beating PBf is to start a dog fight and hope to stun him and hurt him. So PBF is still a favourite in this fight.
I predict late stoppage possibly on cuts.

Gatti has got some real good power but he is gonna be will be getting hit so much he is going to get frustrated and try and land one big punch. Mayweather will see it coming a mile away.

Corley is a much better fighter then Gatti. Why you dont think so, because he lost to Floyd and Zab? They are two of the best. Gatti has lost to average fighters and has had life and death struggles with club fighters.

Mayweather UD, Gatti's got ability but Mayweather will just work on the outside all fight making it look easy(and boring)

I can't see this fight going any other way but a TKO for PBF. Too quick and too slick. I see him landing form the outside until he has cut Gatti's face to pieces before they stop the fight.

**** Corley, he doesn't have the handspeed that Gatti has, and Gatti throws some pretty vicious body shots, and puts punches together well. And I think that PBF WILL try to trade with him at least once, to try to prove how great he is by beating Gatti at his own game. He may beat Gatti, but it won't be any kind of shutout.

Gatti might have sufficient power but i guess PBF will be overloaded with it. plus he is better skilled...

Floydmayweather
01-31-2005, 01:04 AM
Floyd is to smart to trade with Gatti if Gatti tries to rush Floyd will throw a combo and move. If Gatti tries to box well he will be beaten to the punch everytime and well be in for a long painful night.

As much as I like Gatti, and would love to see him win, I'm afraid Floyd's gonna blow him out of the water. I hope I'm wrong.

The fight will be like watching a mini "Rocky" movie, you know Gatti is going to get "Slyyyced" <(pardon the pun) like a Thanksgiving Day Turkey, but if our hero can just make it to the last couple of rounds - he may just land a couple of good body shots and then that big "left - right" comes in and it's goodnight Floyd and bring on the "Yo' ADRIANN! I Did It!

Roll Credits....

Mayweather W12. I predict this will be an exciting fight. Gatti may even put Mayweather on the canvas, but for the most part, Floyd outlands and outboxes Gatti just enough.

jack_the_rippuh

When he fights Floyd, he won't be fighting someone he can easily execute his game plan on as he did with Leija.

Yup. Gatti's limitations as a boxer will be obvious against Mayweather.

I am a big fan of Gatti, but his chances are not good. It would be a hell of a show though. No way it would go only two or five rounds. I would rather see Gatti destroy Hatton in Atlantic City, so I could watch! I also would prefer to see PBF boxing from a correctional institution. Is it true he has a song or a label with the title or name of Wifebeater? Someone told me that but I thought it couldn't be true.

I don't think Gatti can beat Mayweather unless he forces a brawl. Mayweather is too fast and too accurate for Gatti. It's going to be a great win for whoever gets it, though.

You're right so many big fights. Hopefully this one is made and Floyd's b.s. outside the ring doesnt screw it up.

Noew don't get me wrong i am a huge gatti fan and will be rooting for him but how can you say that there wsa any improvement seen against leija leija is shot! an in shape bojado would have had him out in five... I am sorry to say this but gatti is not very good... who has he beaten in the last five years, dont say ward cause ward was an eleven loss fighter the first time that they fought great fighter for fight fans but mortgage the house on pbf

I think Gatti is a warrior. I think Mayweather is a big mouth with good genes. I see Mayweather coming into this fight unprepared and getting a mouthful. He won't stand toe to toe with Gatti if he is smart. He is the quicker speedier man, but Gattis heart and relentless attack will put him over. Gatti by knockout in 7.
