When gatti fought floyd, was gatti a shot boxer?

[moofo]

you can have an arguement whether he was shot or not.. some say yes, some say no because of the 5 win streak.. i do believe he was going to lose anyway.
that fight also put me in tears man.. it was so hard for me to watch some1 i look up to getting beat up like that.. i dont kno if he was shot..

i think he shouldve retired sooner thats all.. hes taken soo much punishment in his career for US his fans.. so anyone who disrespects gatti should just keep their mouths quiet..

have respect ppl.. i swear sometimes reading **** on how much ppl bash fighters gets me so angry..

Just get a grip.
He was shot to pieces.
Simple as that.
No disrespect just a FACT.

[TRUE WARRIOR]

it dont matter if he was shot. gatti was a total bum and tahts why mayweather wanted to fight him. he even called him a c level fighter and that is the truth.

[kayjay]

Of course he was. Not that it would have mattered much, but he was way past it

[St@rscreem]

Gatti hadn't lost in years and was a titleholder...

[rambov]

Why does this matter. He wasn't going to win anyway.

He had no chance from the get go

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

.....lol. That sums up why your opinions are off-base 90% of the time.

Azteca,

No. What it sums up is that you have no grasp of sarcasm. Or hyperbole.

I'll dumb it down for you in the future.

ANYONE who thinks Gatti wasn't shot to pieces simply does NOT know what they are talking about.
He was never Top 10 anyway even in his prime.
Is fights with Ward are the only thing that stand out.
As for Castillo , I would say he was shot as well.
Not as bad as Gatti but defo shot.
Castillo would have beaten Gatti put it that way.
As usual the Floyd ball suckers replied to this thread trying to justify his lame opposition.
Proving even more that there opinions are not credible because they fail to see anything wrong with Floyd on any level.

Uhhh, no Gatti was not shot. He was on a five win streak, and just had knocked out Dorin. Watch his earlier fights. If anything he was a better boxer at that time. He just didn't have the same size advantage as he did at 130. Against Robinson he looked horrible. Just carelessly traded punches. He was getting his ass kicked against Rodriguez until the last couple of rounds. Gatti's run at 140 was the best he looked since destroying Ruelas. That's a fact. He shouldn't have even lost to Ward, so he really should have been on a 7 fight win streak.

You're just trying to discredit Floyd. It's obvious.

I've seen all of his Championship fights at 140 (and the Millet fight), and all of his Championship fights at 130. Gatti was not shot at all. Shot Gatti = Alfonso Gomez fight.

[Pugilistic™]

i think he was slightly. not like he was against baldo or gomez but he wasn't at his best

Gatti was not "shot". Was he past his "best" days? ABSOLUTELY. Not that Gatti's "best days" were all that great to begin with.

But Gatti looked fine BEFORE Mayweather, and he actually even looked good against that Euro with the padded record (damgaard) AFTER FMJ.

Gatti was not "obviously shot" like Castillo was, for example. In the first round vs Hatton, we all saw castillo was slow and uncoordinated. He almost fell with no contact.

To be honest, I think what "shot" Gatti was that last round of the baldomir fight. Gatti was trying to slug with a bigger, stronger man. Baldo has a titanium chin. So, as Gatti started to tire, he was eating shots from a big man, including a career-changing left hook that "ruined" him.
