Mayweather Win Over Gatti Was Unimpressive

[Sin City]

Mayweather was physically much smaller than Gatti by the time he came in the ring, remember that this was only his third fight at junior welterweight and Gatti was among the strongest at that weight. Not much of a boxer still, but strong.

Gomez on the other hand was able to fight Gatti at 147 and had been competing at a middleweight in the Contender against guys like Manfredo, who is now a super middleweight.

The size difference between Gomez and Mayweather, you can't compare the two at all. Factor that in with Mayweather never really trying for a knockout, he was punching at the target as opposed to through it.

I'd call Mayweather's performance over Gatti a masterpiece, though against a very hollow titlist taking the fight for the huge payday knowing he couldn't win. Gomez was in the right place at the right time against a Gatti on the slide coming off a damaging KO loss.

how does that change the fact that Gatti was already old and well.. Gatti was Gatti?

don't tell me your more impressed of Gomez knocking out of Gatti, than Floyd stoppage of Gatti... and you agree with the thread starter

I don't think Gomez knocking out Gatti was impressive either... Did I say that? NO. So why you trying to put words in my mouth?
Gatti at the point he fought Gomez was even wayyyy more past it. Gomez may not be the greatest fighter but he has his youth and is in his prime.
The Mayweather win wasn't at all impressive though..

why?????????

why?????????

Because Gatti was already old.. he had a lot mileage on him do to all the damage taken in previous fights and Gatti has never been that good of a fighter. Sure he is exciting and that is why he is so popular.. but that is all he is, a very entertaining club fighter.
Mayweather's win against Gatti was like Cotto's against Gomez.

You have to say that until the Mayweather fight he wasn't looking old. Ring age is all relative.

Booty.. even in the Ward fights the announcers and everyone was talking about how much damage each fighter had taken and if they still had it in them.. everyone was saying how it was a last hoorah type thing because they where both old.
