Gatti and Mayweather Agree to Terms

This is going to be a great fight! I am so excited to hear about this match-up. Gatti's got a big heart and I think it will make a difference when it goes down to the later rounds. However, that herat didn't save him from getting his ass spanked when he faced DLH. And to think Mayweather is faster than DLH so I am curious to see how Gatti keeps him at bay.

Mayweather better bring his own platter, so that Gatti has something to put it on when he hands it too him. Mayweather hasn't fought anyone with Gatti's experience. In the later rounds Gatti will start having his way. He's not the Gatti of the Ward days. He's more composed, more accurate, and most importantly more experienced. Mayweather will be exposed the for the fighter he really is, the way Roy Jones should have been. This time that little kid bit off more then he can chew.

Thier was a gatti ward III chazz2 if you didnt know. I'm kinda getting a little angry on how you all are saying that gatti has a slim chance, as far as im concerned floyd is the one who has the slim chance of winning. Gatti may not land flush punches to his head but he is going to land bombs to his body. Floyds defense is leaning far back and putting his shoulder out so he cant get caught with face punches, pretty good defense but his body and arm are left wide open, gatti is going to go at that arm and body like crazy. Once he landed enough body shots floyds boxing ability is done, he wont be able to move around and THEN the flush face shots will come. I havent been impressed with any of floyds fight, maby 1 or 2 but he hasnt fought anybody that I think has given hin trouble like gatti will. Gatti is too strong for floyd all he has to do is use his strenght to put floyd in the ropes or in the corner and it over. I got this Gatti by KO ALL THE WAY!!!

I got gatti all the way! Just wish there would be a gatti VS ward III.

Dang, I bet Gatti will get cut just thinking about this fight. It is going to be a hum-dinger...

both fighters are already talking smack, im juz hoping gatti can shut mayweather up in the ring..

This fight was always going to happen it was just Gatti putting his foot down on money issues

I can't wait for Mayweather to get his ass beat. He bugs the crap out of me, but unfortunately I don't think Gatti can win.

Gatti is a boxer - puncher now, i'm actually really impressed with his jab lately, but it's a mistake for G to think he can ever outbox Floyd. gatti is a good tough fighter, but he just doesn't have the natural talent of pbf ( and keep in mind i'm not a big mayweather fan )....however, that's doesn't mean gatti has no chance of beating floyd, ( i'd say he has a slim chance ), i just don't think arturo can pull it off. gatti has trouble with movers - dlh, pbf ( as we will see ). the one chance arturo has AND ITS PRETTY FUCKIN SLIM is to impose his strength on pbf the way JL castillo did in his two outings with floyd. i can already hear the nutlickers getting mad at me for this but, THE ONLY MAN TO EVER IMPOSE HIS STRENGTH and DETERMINATION on pbf was jl castillo. no matter what floyd did he couldn't stop castillo from coming after him, i saw their fights as really close, pbf barely pulled those out. that's gatti's only way to win, i just think that gatti's face will be so busted up before he tires floyd out enough to land those big shots. gatti has the power to fuck pbf up, he just won't be able to use it Good post Beeatch! ;) I agree..as much as I love Gatti, I realize he has limitations and have posted previously that his only chance is to land enough (flush) punches to stun Mayweather and maybe ( a big, hugh maybe!!) get a tko or ko.

Finally a fight in AC! I just wish I could get my tickets. This is a must see fight.

How do you guys feel about PBF's power at this weight. Can he throw a KO punch?

We will see how much Gattis boxing ability has increased. Remeber, he didn't land a flush punch at all on Oscar. by his own admission. Of course Oscar had the size on him. I think Gatti has improved his boxing quite a bit since then, this fight will show how much. Gatti has to be willing to take a few and try to get PBF on the ropes and work the body ala Mickey Ward. If he can do that he may slow Floyd down enough to take away some of that speed and even up the fight a little bit.

Gatti experienced several tough big bouts.But Floyd is a no.1 speed star in the era.Gatti can land the his punches...anyway I'm looking to see the special fight.

I can't wait for this one. Gatti is probably my favorite fighter in the world, and I can't stand PBF. Will Gatti win? Eh, it will be a tough fight for him. This one is either over in the mid-rounds by Gatti KO or PBF pitter-patters to a decision.

nice^^. "Speedkills" PrettyBoy is known to stand and trade which might be detrimental. He needs to do more like when he fought Corrales than when he fought Emmanuel Burton/Augustus...(who took Ward to the wire-who beat Arturo)

Good fight, good nite. I agree with BEEACH. Gatti is cursed for cuts. He's got a good chin with bad skin - Just can't keep his own blood in. His chances of winning are pretty slim. At the end of the fight, it's Mayweather's win.

it 's a good payday for gatti, and pbf isn't as big a puncher as some of the guys Arturo has faced ( i bet Micky Ward hits harder ) but he'll give gatti a boxing lesson. this fight will probably be stopped by the ref because gatti's face will be cut to pieces and his eyes swollen shut... i wonder if floyd is thinkin of this fight as a tuneup for him to challenge KT? Oh yeah, a definate lesson..thats what I meant when I said Floyd was too slick; Gatti would have problems trying to land flush against him! I wish Floyd would fight KT...talk about power! KT would knock him silly given half a chance (in my opinion) ;)

I think Gatti may prove to strong for Floyd. I am glad that the fight is finally going to happen. its hard to gage the gap between fighters.. see how gatti fared with mickey ward then see how zab judah did. and id say mayweather is better than judah. but then maybe gatti will do something to floyd hes never experienced. hand out a severe beating he was never ready for. :boxing: well we can dream

I think Gatti may prove to strong for Floyd. I am glad that the fight is finally going to happen.
