I just watched the PBF Gatti and Corrales fights and...

Why did Jim Lampley say in the 4th round, "So already Floyd Mayweather has made a mark on Dela Hoya." ? Anyone else find that strange nowaday? Haha. Also, damn, I almost forgot just how tiny Gatti looked in this fight. He was getting killed!

[Fighting Cougar]

Can anyone tell me why DLH vs PBF is going to be different from those fights again?

De la hoya has better overall experience then those opponents just watch gatti v.s De la Hoya.

[frank THE tank]

osct is not gatti or corrales. You saw what oscar did to gatti. Corrales does not have the boxing ability of oscar

i have seen both gatti vs dlh and pbf many times and let me tell you guys this, gatti hard;y even hit floyd when they fought. hell, harold lederman scored i believe either round 3 or 4 of the fight 10-8 and it wasn't even a knockdown in the round. that's saying a lot. gatti was taken out of the fight from round 1, because he knew he couldn't really take it to pbf like he wanted to. floyd was too fast for him, and his footwork was too nice for him as well. i mean, oscar went blow for blow with gatti and it was cool and all, but floyd just tagged the living hell out of gatti each round, and each round got worst and worst. gatti wasn't throwing back punches hardly when he fought floyd. gatti stunned oscar in the first round. gatti never stunned floyd in their fight. floyd, in round 6, threw a viscious combo to the body and head, and then followed up not too long afterwards with a three punch hook combo to where floyd leaped when he threw his combos. it was a one-sided fight. that's a real one-sided fight when you only see one person fighting really. gatti punched oscar a lot of time, he just didn't really hurt him, but he did stun him in the 1st, and a couple more times, but gatti never hurt or stunned floyd, by no means. floyd's win over gatti was a badder beating than oscar's beating.

I disagree that Floyd beat Gatti more impressively, but I understand why you think that. Now go back and watch any pre-Trinidad De La Hoya. It was never his goal to keep from getting hit at all. He beat a lot of fighters by overpowering them. Not that he was ever a crude brawler, but he never tried to fight like Mayweather did against Gatti. When you go into every fight knowing you have 1) more power and 2) a better chin, that is not the idea. And for Oscar there were few fights in which he did not have those advantages. In the upcoming fight Oscar knows he has huge power/chin advantages, so if you're going to judge the fight according to who gives the best impersonation of Wille Pep, the choice will be easy.

Gatti was past it against PBF though wasnt he? Who does Gatti think will win between the 2 of them?

I caught that too....but of course he means Floyd Sr. making a impact or transition of styles on Delahoya lol..

[Piggu]

His chin is worlds better than Corrales'.

[realheavyhands]

Delahoya Is Washed Up.. Just Another Way For Floyd To Act Like Hes Fighting The Best

[BigCol]

Both of those guys are notorious for having really shaky chins. They both get dropped alot and both go punch for punch with there opponents. Oscar is a much different fighter. Big, strong, skilled, and has power in both hands (maybe not the right hand - but that is a different story). Oscar is a hall of famer and Gatti/Corrales are not.
