Gatti vs. Jesse James Leija next????

[Dr Cynical]

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

I still see DLH winning.
Mayweather doesn't have the power to beat DLH and I think DLH could outbox Mayweather.

But if Mayweather had power...then it owudl be something else.
Sometimes I just wish all matchups were possible and that it was one universal weight just to see how people's differnt styles would play with one another.

I read in a Puerto Rican newspaper recently that Cotto's people tried to make a fight with J.J. Leija for Cotto's first title defense but he turned it down stating that he and Gatti are extremely close to signing for a fight in December or January. Isn't Mayweather his mandatory? Won't he lose his belt if he refuses to fight Floyd?

Those are the important questions to answer. I've been saying all along that Arturo "paper champion" Gatti would run from Mayweather all he can. At first I thought he'd try and fight Hatton but I see he found himself an opponent willing to fight in Atlantic City and who shouldn't give him much problems in the ring.

I'm thoroughly disapointed in Gatti. He should be man enough to fight his mandatory and, then, take on whomever he pleases. I hope he gets stripped by the WBC and they let Mayweather fight somebody else for the vacant title.

Gatti-Leija or Gatti-Mayweather? Tough choice! But there's never a dull moment in a Gatti fight, so, whichever comes (first?), I won't mind. Having said that, I'd like to ask, what are the chances of a Gatti-Mayweather fight? Reports are rampant that Pretty Boy has his eyes on Oscar, which, is understandable because, with all his skills and achievements, he still has to climb the ring in what can be called a MEGAFIGHT and earn MEGABUCKS! He does not have the luxury of time. He, himself, has not been a top draw; he needs a De la Hoya to pad his retirement coffers. But if Floyd agrees to do it at jr. mid vs. Oscar, it should be a match best left in the realm of fantasy boxing. Fans have been victimized enough by such matches.

How much weight is Mayweather willing to gain and DLH willing to lose?

Pretty Boy is saying he's willing to go up to jr. mid. Oscar has been aloof to the possibility. Could be he has his eyes fixed on a rematch with the comebacking Tito. Or, he's forcing Mayweather to put it on paper that the fight be at jr. mid, his realm. If his reason is the former, then Gatti-Mayweather becomes probable, I think, even if Leija gets into the act. If it is the latter, oh well...

DLH has said, repeatedly, that he will NOT fight Mayweather because he has too much respect for his dad. PBF can talk all he wants but that fight will not be made. Oscar has said he will wait for the winner of Trinidad - Mayorga and Mosley - Wright to decide who he will fight next; basically, he's looking at Wright and Tito for his next match because he knows that's where the money is.

As for Gatti, if he doesn't fight PBF he will lose his title and J.J. Leija will turn the fight down if he can't fight for a title. He's said he needs one before he retires and he's only fighting Gatti because it's a more winnable fight than fighting Cotto.

PBF won't be able to take DLH's power and Oscar, having been hit by bigger punchers, would just walk him down en route to a 9th or 10th round TKO. Floyd is better kept at or below Welterweight.

Still can't believe Bojado couldn't put Leija away....Too bad
