    I wanna know how he didn't hurt his hands against Gatti. He must have some good gloves or something lol. He hit him with every punch there is. Except maybe an uppercut.
    I think he wore Winner Gloves.. the soft Japanese brand. I think he could have cut Gatti up before the 6th, otherwise.

      I know, and your point is?

      Think mayweather is gonna be very effective with that uppercut?

        I wasn't making a point about the fight with Floyd- I was kinda still on the Kostya vs Zab/Kostya vs Ricky convo.

        But no- I think Floyd will be most effective with a lead left and the straight right as always. He may uppercut off of the ropes, but I have a feeling that he will really try to stay off of them in the fight. Or else it may be trouble.

          I don't think so, I think his best bet is uppercut off the clinch and do not let ricky get to his hands.

            He wore Everlast.

            And it's winning.

              Not my words but those of Bernard Hopkins.

              Thoughts?
              I think hatton has possibly the quickest feet in boxing. Handspeed, Floyd is faster.

                Floyd isn't throwing an uppercut unless its late and he's winning. I think the punch is dangerous because he doesn't get fully into it when he makes contact. He hurt his hand against Baldomir with it.

                      It's easy to prove Oscar wasn't legit.

                      he fought about 4 times in 5 years.

                      Loses to Mosley
                      Sturm
                      Hopkins

                      ...then he beats MAYORGA. Who is a great styles matchup for him and pretty much makes DLH look good.

                      He was out of prime.
