This is it 3 days away until some apologies will be made to Gatti. SO lets break this down fro the last time an not leave anything out.
First Id like to touch on the fact that the pbf supporters for the most are very classless. But I guess I can see this before their boy pbf is also the same. Ever since march u people having been calling Gatti a "bad joke" or a "bum" You all couldnt be more asinine and wrong. Just b/c ur a pbf fan or dont think Gatti will win doesnt mean u can call him a bum. I have never once talked down pbf's skills, Ive only said that he is boring fighter, which holds water b/c nobody goes to see him fight.
Again you all no where I stand in my prediction, Gatti will be victorious saturday. We all must remember how bad Gatti wanted this fight (the man has a picture of pbf hangin in every room of his house)and has been training hard since March. Other factors to convince the undecided would be Gatti is the bigger and stronger than pbf. pbf's chin has yet been tested and the competion pbf has fought at 140 is subpar by far. Compare that to Gatti's last 3 opponets and well there is no comparision Gatti's level of competition is better than pbf's at 140.
Factor in a Buddy Mcgirt gameplan and "Irish" Micky Ward walkin you out to teh ring in your hometown state w/ 12,000 ppl cheering for you...goodnite pbf.
*and remember throughout all the hoopla of the events leading up to the fight Gatti has stayed a gentleman to the sport and was a class act as always. I wish the same could be said for pbf
This thread is a joke, just like Gatti.
Mayweather is going to beat that paper champ.
I guess Gatti and his camp are trying to convince themselves that it will be an easy fight, but they need to be realistic. He's the best fighter they've taken on at 140lbs. and he's the best fighter they've taken on period, since De La Hoya.
i'm backing pbf but saying that 2005 has been a year of upsets. I dont think thats going to apply in this fight though - mayweather has to much in his locker.
The only thing Floyd has in his locker is a court summons and cocaine.

IMO, the outcome of this fight depends strictly on what Gatti does. Although I think Gatti could box well enough to give PBF a boring decision, I think the best way for Gatti to fight this fight is with tremendous pressure. Run Floyd out of the ring. Run him into the corners and rough him up. Make him complain to the ref. He might try to forearm Gatti to death at first, but I don't think he's strong enough to keep Gatti off him, and he'll have to try to land some big shots to slow Gatti down, or run. One thing I'm sure of is that Gatti isn't going to be standing in the middle of the ring taking shot after shot like fucking Corrales did. Gatti will punch back, and if he lands anything at all in the middle of Floyd trying to "punish" him, that idea will probably go out the window. Again, I'm only saying that this fight depends on what Gatti does, as Floyd will only take what his opponent gives him, that's the way he's always been.
Since when did Kostya Tszyu have defense against a pressure fighter??
Since when did Floyd get OLD and SHOT like Roy Jones jr?
and who has Gatti beat recently that makes him so spectacular...
hey man u can say that after the fact of those fights but that dont mean nothin. I can guarntee when Gatti beats pbf ppl will say, awe pbf is too small and Gatti too big.
excuses can be made after fights. So unless ur preaching these facts before hand it dont mean nothin, not a thing.
Gatti's last 3 fight
Since when did Kostya Tszyu have defense against a pressure fighter??
Ben Tackie wasn't a pressure fighter? Zoo didn't lose a single round.
When did Floyd get OLD and SHOT like Roy Jones jr?
As soon as he signed the Gatti fight. He'll be drinking sirloin through a straw on Sunday.
and who has Gatti beat recently that makes him so spectacular...
2 future Hall of Famers and a current title contender. Of course ... that doesn't compares to the rough and tough, well accomplished Henry Brusselles or the hard hitting dress maker.
never once said he was a bum i know pbf is one of the most talented fighters out there. He opposition he fought at 140 as been less than spectacular. "u cant hit waht u cant" look at Hatton/KT, Tarver/Jones II. And who was in the corner of Tarver during that fight??
Cmon on man get on the Gatti bandwagon

#1 factor in this fight
-You can't hit what you can't see and you can't hurt what you cant hit.
I'm rooting for Gatti somewhat, but you talkin like Floyd is a bum, well his the most naturally talented fighter, and who said he dont got a chin?
