I concur. Pretty Boy Floyd aint gonna be pretty no more when Gatti gets done with him.Originally posted by McKayWhat kind of boxing "fans" are you that dont respect Gatti. And respect a women beating arrogant punks like Judah and Mayweather over a class act like Gatti. Gatti had power when he fought at 130 pounds where he was IBF Champion that is what allowed to beat tough opponents such as the Spaniard Rodriguez. But he was killing himself to make the 130 limit. Now that he is at 140 pounds and is older his strength is fully realized..
Gatti will hit pretty boy floyd with a left hood to liver and Floyd will go down. Then Floyd will get up and get hit with a Left hook to the head, and after a couple of straight rights another left hook to the liver then Gatti will stand over Mayweather's limp corpose and say "how do you like that boy" and this time Mayweather overrated punk ass will stay down and hopefully retire in fear of ever recieving another thrashing as damaging of what he recieved at the hands of Arturo Thunder Gatti.Comment

man you're flipping me out. you're concurring with a previous post from yourself!! get some sleep. stop eating those beans or snorting that go fast.
although i must say that i hope gatti gets lucky and wakes up from a blow to the head from *****boyfloyd and goes ballistic like he's done against ward. sorry about the pbf sexual metaphor.Last edited by STEELHEAD; 05-31-2005, 07:23 AM.Comment

I respect mayfeather's skills but it befuddles me how a true fight fan can have no respect for Gatti. Listen, he's fought who he's fought and the results, for better or worse, speak for themselves.
I never did like Mayfeather's general attitude outside the ring but i truly hope he is dissing Gatti for the sole purpose of selling tickets and not doing it becasue he disrepects Gatti and his career as a boxer. If he really has no appreciation for what Gatti has done for the sport of boxing then i will never have any respect for that phoney balony.Last edited by gnostic19; 06-18-2005, 11:36 PM.Comment

Gatti's fights have been HIGHLY entertaining, and that's all I ask when I tune in to watch a fight or pay for a ticket. The guy never gives up and gives it his all. You get your money's worth when you watch him fight, and that's all anyone can ask.
Whether he's as skilled a boxer as PBF or not is beside the point.
The Boardwalk casino sold out in a couple of hours for what fans hope will be a good fight, and I don't think they will be disappointed.Comment

Hahaha, okay man. If he sells seats and I'm not dis***** he does, a big part of that reason was left out of your long ass biased post.Originally posted by HurlexGatti has something that in our era of boxing we have not seen. He has heart,he doesnt retire for 2 years and comes back later when his opstacles are older,he doesnt quit after being dropped 3times and not beng hurt when he still has a chance to win the fight,he hasnt always been all about the money...h has true heart. Yes he doesnt have the best boxign skills (eventhough there getting better) but his will/power/heart will always give him a chance against anyone and whether he wins or loses on June 25,he will come out in people eye's as the man the showed up and came to fight with will and power and didnt hold back because he knew he wsnt as skilled. Gatti is something rare in our days but people should be glad that we have the man. I think gatti said it best:"Floyd doesnt sell the tickets,i sell seats"...if this were anyone else i would be pissed that they said it,but this line is true,gatti with his trilogy against ward brought a lot of heart and attention to boxing again and he will try his heart out against PBF,and if it goes into late rounds and he knows he's behind on the card's he will make it war,so hell yeah he has a chance.
If he has a huge fan base, at his fights that's good but most of the time, IMAGE is just that and not the man. I bet his image was carefully crafted along with his gutty performances even in defeat to perpetuate this Graziano like persona.
Well, my memory's longer than that. He's a tough guy who's put on some good fights. It's ridiculous to see all the rabid support he seems to have based on his nickname and the overestimation of his capabilities. It demonstrates just how ignorant some of you are. Not dumb. Ignorant. Lacking wisdom. Only Time and Experience can provide you with that. You're not born with it.
Observing the events that unfold in their upcoming fight will go a long way to wiseing some of you up if you're observant.
So ... pay attention.

you cannot front on mayweathers skills...a natural if there ever was one...him winning on saturday would not suprise me for one moment...
then again...we are talking about arthuro gatti...you can't front on his boxing / fighting skills...i love the fact that gatti throws EVERY type of punch available...hooks...upper cuts...straight hands...jabs...killer body work ( which helps keep them " boxers " still )...and he does this in 5 to 6 punch combos with both hands...
gatti has the heart and skill needed to win a fight like this...along with the fact that he's the " home team "...convention hall baby...
gatti knocks him out by the seventh...unless floyd can out box him for twelve rounds...if so i see a split decision for mayweather...Comment
