Who Wins? Floyd and Gatti Toe to Toe

DLT21y ago

I hear alot of you saying how Floyd will be running and moving alot but he doesnt do that anymore. He boxes for 4 rounds and then he sits down and trades with you. He has done this in his last 3 fights. He is much more offensive now and the differnce is that he has finally learned his Uncle's style. He has been trained by his father his whole life. His father is a defensive trainer and his uncle is a offensive trainer. It takes a while to switch from what you have learned your whole life. Thats why he wasnt looking that great ever since the Chico fight. He would be offensive in spurts but you could tell that he was scared to stay like that for long. Now he has fully converted and he likes it. He will do the same to Gatti. He will box for 4 rounds and then he will sit down in the pocket and go toe to toe with Gatti and he will beat him at his own game. Just because you dont have as much power or are not as big as someone doesnt mean you cant go toe to toe. He will dominate Gatti in the pocket. He will block and roll all of Gatti's shots and then counter with tremendous accuracy and speed. This will frustrate the hell out of Gatti. After he beats Gatti at his own game, Gatti will figure there is no chance to win and the fight will be over. He wont run from Gatti, he wants to hurt him and he wants to give the fans a show on PPV. I just hope Gatti last that long :) I hear some of you saying that Floyd isnt taking Gatti seriously and wont train hard and will be KO because of it. Every expert in the media has said for ever since they have known him that Floyd may talk stuff and get into trouble in between fights but when he goes to camp he is all business. I have heard alot of his sparring partners say the same. They all say that he is one of the hardest workers in the gym and he runs it like a business and he never clowns around. I heard Floyd in a interview the yesterday say that he no matter what he say's, he never takes a fight for granted and he will train very hard for this fight and be in top condition like he always is. So my point is for those of you that say Floyd wont win in a war, you are wrong. He will dominate Gatti toe to toe. I dont know about the war part because it will be pretty much one sided

I'd say Floyd by TKO

Yeah, I kind of agree with Mic, but even at that game, I don't know if it will be a sure win for Gatti. The problem so many of Mayweather's opponents have is dictating the pace of the fight. They let Mayweather fight his fight and when they do catch Mayweather with something good he isn't foolish to try to trade with them, instead he gathers himself and goes back to jabbing and scoring shots from the distance (jab to the head, jab to the gut, occasional left hook, and lots of lead rights.)

The only way I see Gatti winning is if he pressures Mayweather and tries to make it a war. He is the bigger stronger fighter and he should fight that way. It would be very stupid if Buddy Mcgirt sends Gatti out to box against Mayweather. He can not and will not out box Mayweather.

Floyd can't go toe to toe with Gatti! His only key to win this fight is his quickness. If Gatti can find a way to stop Mayweather speed (wich I doubt) he wins. Trading toe to toe with Gatti would be the most stupid mistake for Mayweather. He can land 15 straight flush punchs and get caught by only one and get ko'd. Pretty boy is not going to take that chance against Gatti. Expect a long non exciting, disapointing, boring fight!

i agree with kimmy... floyd will totally outbox him... and his only chance is to come in and make it into a war... Yup thats his only chance, if he comes in throwing bombs he could get lucky.

Floyd will be like Dela Hoya and make Gatti's corner throw the towel in after 8 rounds of Floyds plastering punishment. Gatti can not get his way with Mayweather. The fight he should be pursuing is one with Kostya Tszyu, this will be a Big Mega PPV fight if it getsd off..

Floyd hands down. He is too quick and elusive. He'll make Gatti look foolish.

hmm If it's a war, Gatti will win. That's Gatti's fight. Floyd will not like the power, trust that. If he stays in the pocket and makes Gatti miss all night, then you can't call tha a war.

Another thing people don't understand is that Gatti isn't someone who only needs one punch. He is certainly not going to be able to KO Mayweather with one punch. His best chance at landing clean on Mayweather is when he has Mayweather against the ropes. In the pocket, Mayweather makes him miss and counters with straight right hands, on the outside, Mayweather makes him look silly and cuts his face up with the jab.

I think Floyd can have his way with Gatti in any style of fight. The only chance is if Gatti lands the big one. If i were Gatti i`d chase Floyd down and hit him everywhere i could to try adn wear him down. If Gatti can pin him down and just go wild for 5 rounds, he might land the big one, he shouldn`t waste his time and try to box, he`ll just get cut up. Just go for broke and go mental!
