I see the angle you're coming from as I have heard it on here before. "Gatti is exciting, he's a warrior, huge heart..but he'll never win against the best". Yeah, this isn't new news. It's most people's opinion. Just not mine. And yes, I am biased cuz we're both Wops but that's not all. Gatti CAN win the big one. Heart sometimes may be enough! And Gatti has more of that than Mayweather will ever have. Mayweather, as great as he is...will ALWAYS be a thug with low character. And as far as Gatti's achievements, he is always sold short on what he has accomplished. Winning 2 titles is not something EVERYONE does!And lastly, contrary to what you or anyone else says, Gatti will not melt the first time Tszyu or Mayweather lays a glove on him!
Jose Luis Castillo won the first fight against PBF. Thats why Arum wanted a rematch right away ,because he knew it as well.Thats because of his style of body attack and aggression nullified PBF in a way. That’s how Gatti can beat Floyd, is by that same style. Gatti has more power then JLC, so this time Floyd might just get KO'ed instead of stunned as with Jose.Dont box, just take it to him Castillo style. You’re going to get hit either way, so make it harder for Floyd to box as did Castillo. Let’s see how Floyd holds up to the heart and determination of Gatti,not the other way around.
First of all i pick Gatti by KO, he's got the one punch KO power not PBF, and he will find it no matter what. Anyway, if PBF doesnt do what he says he's gonna do to Gatti he's going to lose respect, and if he loses than what respect he has now will be gone. The way people are making this fight out to be a massacre on gatti is prolly a bad thing to do, if PBF loses he will never recover mentally, he will be known as a former p4p that lost to a "bum", as most of you put gatti as. Oh and
El Jefe De Jefes, for being a Julio Cesar Chavez fan how can you say the PBF has it won, Meldrick Taylor had it won against Chavez and looked what happened, and Taylor put on one of his best boxing perfomances prolly he ever had. Even if PBF is gonna land 5 to 1 on gatti, gatti is going to make that 1 punch count, and it's gonna take a toll on PBF. Granted that gatti prolly doesn't hit as hard as Chavez does but he still hits hard enough to put floyd away.
Floyd will not hurt Gatti with one shot but he will hurt him and bad. Floyd needs a title belt for bargaining power and he will not take Gatti lightly. You are gonna see the best of Floyd VS the best of Gatti. Floyd will stop Gatti late. ;)
Gatti
Gatti is just an old school
brawler, Mayweather is too fast
and he wont just stand there and give gatti
clean shoots at him.
unless gatti does somethign amazing,
mayweather has it won.
People don't seem to remember or realize that mayweather is hot and cold.
His best performance by far IMO was against Corrales. And we all know that it was probably Corrales' worst performance in his career at the same time.
Before that fight and even since then, he has looked lackluster winning decisions against opponents who he should have beat in 2 or 3 rounds.
Pretty boy might have all the speed and talent in the world, and he'll probably beat Gatti by unanimous dec., but Gatti has more than a puncher's chance. He and McGirt can put together a gameplan that nobody will expect and Gatti can pull Mayweather into a close fight in the championship rounds. I'm serious. Gatti is more of a thinker now, and the punches that stopped guys in the lower weights for Floyd will not hurt Gatti.
Like I said, in all honesty, the deck is stacked against Arturo, but those of you who think he only has a 'puncher's chance' are being lulled into the PBF hero-worship syndrome. The man is not some sort of a god, neither was Roy Jones, but many of you thought he was, now you're all haters.
Mark my words, if Mayweather doesn't put it on Gatti hard and fast the whole fight just like he did against Corrales, Gatti can definitly pull out a win.
Gatti has surpassed all expectations. Nobody thought he would last this long, let alone be dominating his opponents as he did with Dorin and Leija. It's really incredible what he's done, but the bus stops at Mayweather. It all ends there. Gatti will get his big payday, but Mayweather will destroy him.
This board is a bit on the tense side, I prefer to be a nice guy, don't want any bad Karma either! :D
I will take Gatti over PBF if anybody wants to put some points on it. Not Kostya.
lol, you've always been a nice guy far as I can remember! ;) Dont worry anyway, not where I'm concerned...when I give karma its only good. I'd not give you bad karma for disagreeing..thats just stupid. If we all agreed, all the time, it would be sooooooo boring! :confused:
Very cool..it actually let me give you and Marvdave karma..and yes, it was the good kind! :D
Leija is no Mayweather. PBF will do a number on Gatti. I see Gatti with very little chance here. His only chance would be to come out "old style Gatti" come out brawling. If he tries to box with MW, it will be a very long night for for him
Hey just cause you disagree doesnt mean youre trying to argue! We're both adults, and that is what mess. boards are all aobut...I'll debate with you any day, ok.
You have good, valid pt's too. I just think that Floyd is so damn smooth in the ring he'd be very hard to land flush against. But, I'd love for Gatti to beat both Floyd and Kostya..I love Gatti; I just realize his limitations ;) But, then again, with all the shocking losses lately (Jones, Freitas) who the hell knows what to expect anymore! :eek:

Well, I am not trying to argue here, but I think Gatti would do better against Mayweather not Kostya. That is my opinion. Reason, I think Kostya can take a punch better than floyd. I will put my points on Gatti when and if he meets PBF. Since Gatti has been under Buddy, he looks very disaplined and refined. Floyd is going to fall to Roy syndrome, being to full of himself. Gatti has been beat, he knows how not to get beat, he knows how to win and not just expect it every fight out.

Me too...Mayweather is just too slick for Gatti. I love Gatti, but just see him having a very hard time even landing anything on floyd. Against Tszyu is another story. Tsyzu hits so hard and Gatti cuts so easily that I just dont see the fight lasting very long!

I agree Gatti would do better with Tsyzu than Mayweather.

Floyd is going to go the body early against Gatti and wear him down. Once he is worn down a little Floyd is going to pop shot him to death. I like Gatti but this is the worst kind of fight for him style wise he does poorly against boxers and Floyd is the best boxer.
If Freitas had been in better shape, he would have beaten Diego pretty easily, too. I'm not saying he's no good, just another that probably won't live up to the hype.
