Im really glad that this fight is finally on, Gatti deserves his big payday and Floyd needs to impress in this fight to bring in a mega fight at 147 with Delahoya.
Do you think that this will be Gatti's last fight, presuming he looses?

i never really want to see arturo get beat up and embarassed, its most likely going to happen here is'nt it.

Glad to hear it..I dont think Gatti has much chance of beating Floyd unless he manages to cut off the ring and land some good, solid punches. Mayweather is too slick for Gatti, and I would really be concerned for him if Mayweather hit harder than he does. I dont doubt that Gatti can take his punches, but the question is can Floyd take Gatti's..if he manages to land flush? Either way, it's a good payday for Gatti, and he more than deserves it!

it 's a good payday for gatti, and pbf isn't as big a puncher as some of the guys Arturo has faced ( i bet Micky Ward hits harder ) but he'll give gatti a boxing lesson. this fight will probably be stopped by the ref because gatti's face will be cut to pieces and his eyes swollen shut... i wonder if floyd is thinkin of this fight as a tuneup for him to challenge KT?

I think Gatti may prove to strong for Floyd.

I am glad that the fight is finally going to happen.
