Who's Career Would You Rather Have: Mayweather or Gatti?

[Pandaman64]

There should be a hell of a lot of people that pick Gatti since they think Mayweather should stand and trade to make fights more exciting...

Dude, you gave them two choices:


Crippled Guy (probably later in his years)


or


Healthy Rich dude

Gotta go with healthy rich dude


I love gatti. I really do. I hate PBF. I really do. But I like being healthy, and being rich much more. I think I could cope with my lack of greatness after seeing my checkbook. BAM!

Who the hell is saying that PBF should stand and trade? Ha!

Most Mayweather haters are ignorant like yourself...

Some people never disliked Mayweather until they started reading $iN's threads and posts. $iN is a liability to PBF - it isn't so much PBF that people don't like, it's fans like $iN who are turning people against him. And, $iN's being so harsh and hateful to Hatton has probably created sympathy for Ricky.

If you were a fighter and you could have the same exact career as either of these fighters, which would you choose?

Mayweather


Gatti

-jaboxide-, BmoreBrawler, Chipper, danny stash, DaveBrown, Ryuuzaki, TheDanniIce, TheEvilSaint

I JUST NEEDED TO ENSURE WE ALL KNOW WHO VOTED FOR GATTI.

I love Gatti, for all he has done for the sport of boxing but i'd have to pick Mayweather, hes made more money, he can actualy say hes the greatest and has taken less punishment.

I wonder how many of these critics are actually boxing themselfs?
And if you do, are you always a blood and guts warrior? You never block a punch?
Let me tell you guys something; it is incredibly easy to stand in the ring and get your face punched in. Takes no effort whatsoever.
You can't seriously critisize a skilled boxer for not blocking punches with his face, can you? Then why do you?

You can dislike the fact that many boxers are interested in money and low-risk fights, sure. But c'mon, it's the rest of their life at stake, and you shouldn't disrespect them for climbing in that ring. Especially if you don't have the guts to do it yourself.

Now, I'm just an amateur boxer with a lousy record of 10-8. (I've been injured alot, so not very active)
But 8 of those wins came by knockout. See? I'm not much of a technician...
I won my 7 first fights, 6 by KO, and thought this game was easy.
But then I was sent out in europe, fighting guys with 150-200 fights. They picked me apart like there was no tomorrow, and I realized that power is nothing without control... Since then, I've been studying all those you hate to watch, Mayweather, Jones jr, Pep etc.
I figured if I learn to frustrate a guy instead of being hit in the head, I might have a future.

So when people starts disrespecting technical skill, and defensive proveness, I know that that person clearly doesn't understand the sport...

And, TheEvilSaint, I'm not aiming this for you!

This has to be one of the most if not the most objective post I have read since joining this forum.

Logic should outweigh pretending to be tough any day. I can appreciate this post in it's entirety.

im gonna vote GATTI out of ignorance bcoz i don't like u and don't like mayweather

wow!!! i can't blame you now... that was some serious self-ownage

i'd like to have Mayweather's record (undefeated) and Gatti's REputation (blood and guts warrior)....

[maxorido]

Mayweather all day. Healthy and wealthy makes wise.

[sonofisis]

This is a no brainer. Millions of dollars, undefeated p4p champ, recognized for extraordinary talent, and still have all my marbles.. Floyd! What kind of question is this?

[No1]

Mayweather's definatly. Gatti has been in to many wars and hurt to much.
