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

[Eno]

i'd rather be known as the blood and guts warrior who never backed down from anybody than the piddy paddy ***** who had his entire career controlled and revolved around money.

at least gatti's career has some ****ing dignity and respectability.

Ummm, anybody who gets in the ring should always get respect regardless.

i for one am not on mayweathers nutts. if it has to do with pride gatti of course, if it has to do with money, mayweather. gatti will always be known as a true warrior in the ring (fact). mayweather will never be known as a true warrior in the ring. the smart person would pick mayweather, but i have too much machizmo in my blood, so i'd pick gatti

yes. I would go with mayweather because he might not sound like his dumb-ass criminal *****-father when he retires because he doesnt get hit, but as far as going into boxing to find greatness and leave a POSITIVE legacy instead of how to cheat the fans out of their money, Gatti all the way.

I would definitely like to be Mayweather, even though I love Gatti his health isn't going to be the greatest down the road. Plus Mayweather is 5x champ and makes good change. Plus with all the hate Mayweather gets, I would like that because knowing when I beat somebody I know I would have dissapointed thousands of people.

Mayweather took less punishment - He probably has no long term injuries from boxing besides his hands.

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!

Mayweather is recognised by most as the best in the buisness and has been for a few years now,he's still undefeated and has won world titles at many different weights.
Gatti is a blood and guts warrior who has been in some exciting wars but he has been beat by all of the best fighters that he faced.
I would say Mayweather.

Lets see here. 30 years old with a **** load of money, a great legacy, and my health in tact. Thats an easy one.
