I have PBF winning by an early or mid round stoppage. He would beat Gatti utill he was unconscious.
I am sure he would not want to re-live the DLH nightmare again, and this time...he is facing someone who is a tad bit faster, and more effective with his punches.
Fight would be similar to Ndou/Mayweather IMO.
Gatti is a great "fan favorite", but PBF would make him look like the average moderate skilled fighter he is.
This post is a winner. It's interesting reading these old threads.
Yea that always gets me when talking about Floyd's past fights people always forget what public preception was at the time.
Oh well it is a good test to see who was watching boxing at the time closely.
Pretty similar. They said the same of Hatton -- how he would destroy Floyd. But most folks forgot or don't care anymore.

:lol1:
Was this fight similar to how people were saying how Gatti would kill Mayweather, in the same manner as many people said Lacy will kill Calzaghe? :lol1:
Pretty similar. They said the same of Hatton -- how he would destroy Floyd. But most folks forgot or don't care anymore.
Is this topic for real? :thinking:
I didn't know anyone in real life favored Gatti for this fight, I'm from Jersey and everyone I knew picked Mayweather Jr. to beat him.
Believe it or don't, yes many folks had Gatti winning by KO.
That has to be up there with ATG beatings simply because people now saw "He is going to Gatti him" and everyone knows what you mean.
:lol1::lol1: Very True.
I have PBF winning by an early or mid round stoppage. He would beat Gatti utill he was unconscious.
I am sure he would not want to re-live the DLH nightmare again, and this time...he is facing someone who is a tad bit faster, and more effective with his punches.

Gatti is a great "fan favorite", but PBF would make him look like the average moderate skilled fighter he is.
Good call.
Gatti will be embarrased in this fight. He is a very average fighter, with moderate power at 140 & Floyd will make him look inept. Nobody should elevate Floyd any higher after this fight. He should win this fight with a leg in the air.
in order to KO Mayweather
Gatti is first going to
catch up with him something
i dont see happening.
for me, i don't think gatti can KO mayweather. but I do believe gatti's power and determination will pull through against mayweather's skills
Nah, Gatti is going to continue the string of upsets the sport has seen over the last couple of years. Gatti wins this one guys, but it will be a bloody win for him. If this one goes the distance then the decision goes to Gatti, but I am picking him to catch Mayweather in the 9th....
Gatti has never won an "upset" victory.
Every fight he was outclassing his opponents.
The fights where he was outclassed, he lost.
