Gatti doesnt even belong in the same discussion as Hatton...

[Mozza]

FLIP,

You are wrong...and I can very easily prove you wrong.

Care to make a wager?

Out of interest I would like to see that proof. I can't believe anybody thought Gatti would win that fight.

[Jim Jeffries]

Gatti barely threw a punch in the fight with Floyd, anyone who thinks Hatton will be similarly inactive is on another planet.

As was confirmed in Gatti's fights since Floyd, he was completely washed up. Ricky is not, end of story.

Oh if ANYONE can find a needle in a haystack it's DD.

Can we also say that Tszyu was completely washed up?..based on his post-Hatton performances?

The reality is that Gatti KO'd an undefeated fighter in his next fight.

Gatti is just TOO SMALL for baldo and Gomez.

Again he doesnt reply to my post i think its caused i proved him wrong on that one anyway.
Gatti was washed up when he got to floyd and just because a fighter is undefeated it doesnt mean hes good.
Your on another planet

Well Tszyu retired, so we'll never know. Was Lennox Lewis washed up when he retired?
Gatti too small for 5'7" KO MONSTER baldo, that's too funny.

...And I have MANY more examples...

Aaron Imholte: Gatti is all heart, no quit, biggest heart in boxing. Floyd will have to do all of these things to win this fight: 1. stay away from big punches; 2. protect the body; 3. be willing to die because Gatti will not quit under any circumstances he will keep coming and coming and coming. This is a new kind of freak Floyd is fighting, different from Corrales and Castillo, he?s bigger, in some senses stronger, and has more courage. If the fight goes the distance Floyd wins, anything before 12 rounds, Gatti wins.

Gary Pino: I am a huge Gatti fan and if guts alone would be the factor, it would be Gatti, and by a 8th or 9th round KO. But As history shows aging warriors who have fought in wars like the 3 Ward bloodbaths, I think if Arturo is going to slip up and lose a big fight, Mayweather may be the perfect opponent to beat him. I do not think Mayweather can KO Gatti , but I think a possible TKO or a win on points would be my pick.


Coyote Duran: Well, it's no secret where I stand on this and although I take nothing from Mayweather's history and his road to junior welterweight, now that he's on that road, I believe his ride's coming to a halt. This has been a year for upsets and Mayweather's ripe for his unless he really outslicks and cuts up Gatti. Still, I'm predicting an 11th round KO win for Gatti. Not "TKO" since Mayweather doesn't stand still long enough on the ropes to let an opponent fire away unanswered, but "KO" because I think Gatti has what it takes to floor Mayweather and keep him there.


Jason Petock: I think it's going to be a challenging fight for Arturo Gatti to say the least. Floyd is clearly the craftier boxer with blistering hand speed. But I'm going to have to back my man and say that I choose Gatti to win by knockout in the 6th. I've been known to be incorrect in prior predictions but I have to stay true as a fan. I feel that if Mayweather gets into an exchange with Gatti it's going to be lights out for "Pretty Boy". With all the smack that Floyd's be talking lately, I hope I'm right.


Anthony ****s: I?m going to put my nuts on the line here and tip Gatti to win by 11th round TKO. Here?s my reasoning? I don?t care how skilled a fighter is, they cannot move up in weight with impunity. I firmly believe that 140 is the glass ceiling for Lil Floyd, who has lost some of his speed and mobility as he has ascended the divisions. Light fisted ?Chop Chop? Corley rocked Mayweather twice in their bout and it took the pound-for-pound entrant eight rounds to get rid of the grossly overmatched Henry Bruseles. At 135 Mayweather went tooth-and-nail with another big, strong, aggressive fighter in Jose Luis Castillo. See where I?m going with this? The key to victory for Gatti is effective aggression ; he needs to use his natural size advantage to lean on Mayweather and rough him up on the inside while digging to the body ever chance he gets. The one thing Gatti must not do is get reckless, which is a very real possibility after the continuous verbal assaults Mayweather has subjected him to over the past few weeks. Still, I like Gatti?s size and power to eventually win the day.

Yes. baldo is bigger, stronger and more rugged than gatti. If gatti is a perimeter boxer, he can outbox Baldo. For his style, he is too small for baldo. Absolutely.

Lennox Lewis retired on a win. Kostya Tszyu retired on his stool.
