i just cant stop looking at it, ive watched it many times, and i enjoy it everytime i look at it. Its right up there with Vargas/De La Hoya for me personally.
You just like seeing gatti get beat up in a vicious manner, dont you? ;)
...I like Gatti, but it was the way Floyd made him look. Id never seen Gatti get beat like this, I like Gatti cuz hes either gonna KO you, or get KO'd, i have nothing but the utmost respect for Gatti.
Ward's wins over Sanchez and Neary are also favs. Sanchez just for the sheer unexpectedness and how stupid it made Merchant look.
As for PBF-Gatti, it's a terrible fight to watch for me. It started with the BS knockdown and then was just a sparring session after that...actually easier than a sparring session because PBF didn't have to duck any punches. Gatti just refused to throw punches, never seen anything like that from him. Props to PBF but it's a completely uninteresting fight to watch. Watch PBF work the mitts or the heavybag, that's equivalent to that fight and the horrible performance by Gatti.
Great fights to watch involve something from both sides, at least to me.
It was a great preformance by FLoyd and the knockdown wasnt BS. Even gatti said it was his own fault for not protecting himself at all times. When someone puts their forearm on the back of your neck, you cant just look at the ref and expect not to get hit. Stupid move by Gatti.
I can watch any Micky Ward fight over and over again!The Gatti,Green,and Augustus fights are the best.

But also on a side note for somebody who has never been to a Gatti fight at the Boardwalk Hall (The House that Gatti built) you have to go, if your a fan or not, its is absolutely electric when he comes out and walks to the ring while AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" is playing. It is beyond words you have to be there, it is an experience for all boxing fans. And if your not a Gatti fan before the fight you will be after the fight, win or lose.
ill be down in ac for the gatti\baldo fight, ringside\vip son :cool:
cant wait
the fight i would love to watch again and again is when Oscar beats the shit out of PBF come this semptember.
Then you will promptly awake from that dream only to realize you were out of your goddamn mind.
Gatti v Rodriguez is my favorite Gatti fight, close is Gatti v. Ruelas then the Gatti/Ward's then Gatti v. Robinson I (which I thought Gatti won)
Marciano v Walcott I is awesome something out of a movie vicious KO
Dempsey v. Firpo amazing best boxing fight ever
For the record I cant watch Gatti v PBF, never will again probably, the only part that I liked was Gatti's entrance and its also funny b/c i guess Zgatti wasnt to informed of the pyro techniques going off and when they did he jumped a bit, ha.

The first Gatti and Ward fight and the first Corrales and Costilla fight. Those 2 never get old. Mercer KOing Morrison is another 1 that never gets old.
yea difinetly. Like calzaghe beating down on lacy. Enjoyabe to watch and i dont care much for either guy.
I love lacy, but i still commend joe for the preformance. That being said, i cant watch the fight.
And i agree with this fella too. If ur a fan of a fighter and u watch him beat down on his opponent, it can be a pleasure to watch. All that nervousness of ur guy losing just washes away.
In my opinion, you dont even have to be a fan. Im not Pernell's biggest fan, but i can still appreciate the boxing lessons he taught many fighters in his prime.
What the hell are you talking about?
A true boxing fan can appreciate a masterful preformance. This thread isnt about the best fights of all time or anything like that. Chill out.

yup. ward i definetly an exciting fighter. i also liked his augustus match, and his green match too. he's awsome
And why is it that every strong boxer has this high pitched voice. For tyson i though it was just a wierd coicidence, but its happening all the time. wierd...
u guys are showing that u aren't boxing fans, just fans fans of one sided grotesque(sp?) beatings. i mean really, couldnt you at least pick a competetive fight where you didnt just pick it b/c u like to hate on a guy that u've never met, jut have an unreasonalbe biased on.
back on topic, any of the 3 gatti-ward

for some reason, watching PBF vs Gatti never gets old | BoxingScene Community
