    That's pure fanboy talk. Even a prime Gatti was not an elite level fighter. That's why he gets some much criticism for being inducted into the IBHOF. He had 6 losses by the time he fought Floyd, was battle worn after his Ward trilogy. Had already been KO'd by Manfredy who Floyd knocked out later that year. Oscar had already dismantled Gatti in his prime.

      What did you say to justify your bs claim, he was a reigning champ. Lol

      Floyd moved up to 140 to fight one of the belt holders. Floyd was not a PPV superstar and he even acknowledge that. Hatton refused to fight Floyd and Vivian Harris fought Carlos Moussa. Next was Tszyu but he fought Hatton and lost.

      Who else was Floyd supposed to fight?

      Your toxic hate blinds you from seeing anything other than crapping on Floyd.

        djtmal is just projecting his hate on Floyd and anyone else who disagrees with him.

        I never said Gatti was in his prime. Floyd moved up to 140 to fight one of the belt holders. Floyd was not a PPV superstar and he even acknowledge that. Hatton refused to fight Floyd and Vivian Harris fought Carlos Moussa. Next was Tszyu but he fought Hatton and lost.

        Who else was Floyd supposed to fight?

        When Floyd moved to 147, he had no belts and no leverage ​so he fought two guys in Zab and Baldomir the year he moved to WW in 2006.

        Context context context matters.

          There isn't too much to debate after that.

          So you agree Pacqiao beat a washed up past his prime Mosley who had lost to Floyd?
          Great!

            One of the more creative excuses I've read in a while but doesn't justify Gatti not being a cherrypick

              So then he was a cherrypick.

              You asked who did Floyd cherrypick and can't accept the hard truth.

              Why would Floyd in his prime p4p top 5 have any business fighting Gatti other than to fight a name guy who presents absolutely no risk.

              Even Floyd said he was a paper champ c fighter.

              You better off admitting Gatti was a cherrypick and let it go

                  Honestly this is a no brainer. You only have to look at Gatti's resume to that point to see Floyd had no business fighting him.

                  Look at the interviews. Gatti was already showing signs of being punch drunk. Floyd was talking mad s××t because he knew Gatti was a spent bullet

                  Maybe you just salty that you really can't justify Gatti not being a cherrypick.

                  Or maybe you was just so enamored with Floyd dominating a guy who couldn't hit him back that it blinded you

                      He wasn't in his prime, and Floyd isn't getting much credit for going the distance with him. He couldn't even get a knockdown on him. It was a money grab fight for both guys.
                      What difference does it make lol, youre crying about worn out Mosley vs Floyd and Manny fought him over a year later after Floyd beat him and he drew with B grade Mora.

                      So answer the question what version of Mosley did Manny beat, lol we know you will hide in the sand like a coward.
