Gatti vs. Jesse James Leija next????

[urdaddyinAZ]

Yeah I agree, bottom line is none of Gatti's recent victories should be all that impressive to fight fans that know he can't really hang with the top class fighters in his division. I'm Gatti's biggest fan, but I know his limitations and after I've seen the scum of the earth get rich off this sport. I'd really like to see a class act and a warrior like Gatti get paid for all he's given the sport and it's fans.

I don't think Gatti will ever get a 10 million dollar pay day. HBO knows he is a good attraction on their network but they also know that he is not on the level of the 10 million dollar fighters. Better fighters like Morales don't even get 10 million for a fight so I don't think he will. Really Gatti will only get in the Hall Of Fame for his willingness to get in slugfests and shorten his life not for any great accomplishments. I am an Arturo Gatti fan but he isn't a great fighter just a great fight most of the time.

Do you really think beating up a 5'3 lightweight is impressive?

Now you word it like that then not really but i was impressed that he stopped him in 2 rounds. Nobody else had before.

i dont know if gatti will ever get that much money (he deserves it thought for all the excitment he has given us fans over the years)...but yeah i would love to see gatti/mayweather and would pay what i did for dlh/hop-because i know it would be full of excitment..i dotn know who said it earlier but i totally agree:

my heart saids gatti but my brain said mayweather...-well said..but how bitter sweet it would be to have gatti ko floyd...god that would be even better then seeing dlh hit the canvas in the 9th round

I must admit that seing Oscar go down like that was priceless...I always cheer for the underdog but to see Oscar's FIRST knockout lost was history.

Anywho, I truly doubt that Mayweather would get floored by Gatti. And Mayweather doesn't have the power to break Gatti's freekish chin. He'd win easily on points.

What do you think would happen if Gatti and DLH fought again?

I don't see anything different except maybe the fight would end sooner. After Oscar tasted middleweight punches, Gatti's punches would tickle. Oscar was quicker and stronger than Gatti. And I think Oscar was still quick even in the B-Hop fight, not as quick as he once was but enough to take out Gatti.

Gatti's only chance is maybe to take it in late rounds. Oscar would have lost his speed by then.

Also, even if Gatti is boxing more and is more on the defensive these days, I think Oscar would always be the better boxer.

I'd say KO round 7. Even though I said it might end quicker, I see Gatti boxing and using the ring. But Oscar wil catch him and it will all be over.

You?

I think it would end sooner than that by KO or by Gatti's corner throwing in the towel.
Although Gatti is trying to box now, he will still try and brawl.
I think DLH has gotten a bit stronger and he will take out Gatti in boxing and/or brawling.

Now DelaHoya Mayweather would be more like it. There's a boxing match if you ever wanted one.
