Who beat Arturo gatti(RIP) worse??

Oscar beat him down way worse, people trying to find ways to give it to Floyd, stop sniffing for a second ffs.

floyd beat gatti worse and like dlt noted, it's not even close--imo, that was floyd's greatest offensive showcasing and he put fear in the hearts of majority of the 140 lb division-- dlt, me and you have been apart of this forum for many years now...so we know people will discredit floyd for anything--i'm not shocked by this--they don't know about gatti's 5 win streak before floyd fought him and on top of that, floyd's 3rd fight at that weight class they don't know sh1t if you ask me---i knew it would be a mismatch in skill though--floyd did what i expected him to do, but i never seen him put that much mean intentions behinf his punches against a bigger man--maybe corley was the closest, but floyd was the smaller man by far, and he called out and claimed he would beat gatti's ass back in mid 1997 before he fought hernandez... floyd not only put on the most dominant performance of the modern era i've ever witnessed, but but he also put a scare in most of the top fighters of that division like cotto and ring magazine's champion hatton---harris was ko'ed bu maussa on the undercard after talking so much sh1t about floyd-lol hatton publicly claimed in the uk press htat he was not ready for floyd before he fought kosta---a naturally smaller guy beating a bigger guy like that was mesmerizing and totally shatters manny's win over oscar in 2008--- that was a fight that transceneded boxing imo due to floyd's performnance, not gatti's... no fighter ever beat gatti the way floyd did, mentally and physically and he even predicted the ass whooping he put on arturo---after thta fight, i knew this kid would never be beaten by any fighter from 154 on down---even winky wright--shane didn't want him--neither did oscar--- DLT, DON'T MIND THESE PEASANTS ON HERE--THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW UNBELIEVABLE FLOYD IS AND HE PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AS A CHILD WHICH IS WHY HE IS WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME AND LEAGUES ABOVE EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE SPORT---I FIGURED THIS OUT WHEN HE DOMINATED TONY PEP-LOL NAME ANY OTHER SMALLER WEIGHT FIGHTER THAT COULD STAND IN THERE WITH SWEET PEA AND FRANKIE RANDALL BEFORE HE TURNED PRO----I DARE YOU TO-LOL DLT, I GET IT--BUT THESE FOOLS ON HERE WILL NEVER GET IT--I GUESS IT'S THEIR JOB TO HATE ON THE KID AND HAVE TO SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE ONCE HE BEAT THEIR "FIGHTER'S" ****ING ASS...

Are people in this thread insane? I rememeber watching that fight clearly and all people talked about was how much of a joke this fight was due to the size. Gatti fought at 140 in the fight before that. It wasnt that long before that he fought at LW and not even that long before that he was at 130. After that fight Gatti went back down to 140 for nearly 5 years. Oscar on the other hand had been at WW for a hunderd years and was a huge WW. He moved up to 154 in the very next fight and never looked back. Most people felt it was like watching a natural 154 pounder vs a LW. Thats why no one ever talks about it. How can people forget that or act like weight doesnt matter? Gatti was fresher then? lol. It was til this day by far the worst stretch of his career. He had just lost 3 straight fights at LW. Moved up in weight and had 4 fights before Oscar, 3 against sure fire bums and the 3rd was the Gamache debacle that people still laugh about til this day and was Gamache's last fight ever. Before Floyd he was on a 5 fight win streak against real fighters like Ward, Branco, Dorin, and Leija while boxing better than any time in his career. Were you guys watching boxing back then? Everyone clowned the Oscar fight and said it was a disgrace. Dont tell me he beat him down more like that stuff doesnt matter at all

What I never was able to understand was why Floyd cried like a lil ***** out of happiness or whatever after that fight did he really have any doubt in his mind that he would stop Gatti??

The title of the thread is who beat him worse, not who got hit less by Gatti. Oscar was punching with bad intentions all night, and laying hand on him in serious combinations. I think the one who beat him worse would be the one who beat him more conclusively. Gatti couldn't touch Floyd but was getting racked with everything Floyd had. Gatti could at least return fire at Oscar. Even if he took more damage from him. Personally, I would consider the latter the worse beating.

Delahoya punished him more.. And I believed that was a more active gatti than the one floyd fought.. Floyd just had a very good outboxing style that gatti didn't land anything at all.. but when floyd fought him, many considered it a duck..

It was Floyd and its not even close simply for the fact that it was much more of a real matchup. Oscar was just way bigger than Gatti at the time. If they were the same size then Gatti wouldve been in the fight. He landed but he was just too small to have any effect while everything Oscar landed hurt him because of the size. In the Floyd fight Gatti was actually the bigger man so thats far more impressive to me But gatti already went thru the ward trilogy and this one when floyd got to him. I mean it was of floyd's best performance and people should rightfully give floyd his props but I'm surprised nobody really talks about Oscar's performance against gatti where he destroyed him just as bad if not worse.

Any objective observer can see that Oscar put much more damage on the man. Not a fan of Oscars, but you can't deny the facts. Floyds performance was brilliant, but Oscar definitely "beat" Gatti into the ground.

Considering that Arturo couldn't find Mayweather with anything significant except a single body shot that had no visible effect, sometime in the fourth round. I'm going to go with him. Hitting him repeatedly with everything, and barely getting touched back. Of course, Oscar probably did more damage but Gatti was able to land occasionally in return. So if that's the criteria, Oscar.

Ward vs Gatti....that's how I will remember the man...as a warrior.

Gatti had losses before Floyd but Floyd somehow in some nuthugging way gets more credit.

The Floyd fight was the epitome of a clinic while the Oscar fight was a straight up beat down. I would go with the Floyd fight because Floyd was barely hit with anything while Oscar got hit with quite a few left hooks.

Gomez beat Gatti worse than Floyd or DLH you the first one that agrees with me...:boxing:
