Was Mayweather Vs. Gatti The Greatest A** Whipping Of All Time

[Hydro]

I wouldnt say it was so much of a brutal beatdown but one of the best exhibtions of a boxer schooling and outclassing a puncher

It was both.

Toney schooled Barkley and tortured him with a vast array of punches, especially uppercuts and counter rights. Iran's face looked like hamburger by the time Eddie M. stopped it.

No. Because most people knew quite well that Gatti wasnt going to have a chance against PBF and thats what happened. Something like Calzaghe vs Lacy was much worse because Lacy was widely expected to knock Calzaghe out and instead took 12 rounds of severe punishment instead.

I agree 100% I remember Max Kellerman saying right when the PPV telecast came on that Mayweather-Gatti was probably the biggest PPV mismatch of all time.

That whippin was. you know why?

So many people who knew nothing about the sport thought that Gatti was going to win. I had guys arguing with me that Gatti was one of the best boxers in the world. I made so much money that day it was crazy.

It wasn't just casual fans.

Nigel Collins actually picked Gatti to beat Mayweather.

Max Kellerman must have had a memory loss or something.

Barrera-Kelley, Tyson-McNeeley (even when Tyson hadn't fought for awhile), DLH-Campas were worse mismatches.

The worst thing about it was that it didn't even turn out to be the worst HBO PPV mismatch of 2005.

Barrera-Fana was worse.

No, but it's up there.

I'd say that the 6th round in the Mayweather-Gatti fight is probably one of the most brutal rounds without a fighter going down.
.

That was the most brutal beatdown round ive ever seen,it was like a horror movie,yep i think Mayweather-Gatti is in top 5 greatest beatdown ever

True. The Gatti train was packed.....

I remember being in a meeting the week before....everyone thought I was crazy...but this is New England..

[sweet_science_1]

gerry cooney v ken norton was a 1 rd demolition of ****ing biblical proportions

What made that fight even worse is that gatti tried to box... It was dumbest thing ive ever seen.. And he got knocked down once when talking to the ref.. All around pointless fight.. Oh by the way thats where mayweather won jr welter crown.. some may talk about bein a champ in these divisions.. but look who he had to beat...
