    are the barrera Vs Moralez pointless??

    they all bring more fans to the sport
    and believe me boxing right now
    needs more popularity.

    and well i mean Gatti is not a great fighter
    but i must agree
    he is by no means a bum.

      he said he was the "best" ever
      that would mean he is better than
      Sugar Ray,
      Ali and Tyson.
      he called his father a bad trainer. thats just plain old wrong.
      and even if you can make a case for p4p.
      he is not that clear
      I agree. Best ever? That was gross exagerration on Floyd's part. He definitely needs to check his attitude, but aside from that, I think he's a great fighter. I'm not gonna hold that against him.

        I honestly think that Gatti and his crew knew that he could not take on the best fighters in the division, so they opted to go after Ward. That's not going to get you much credit in the rankings, but it drew much public attention and helped the sport a great deal. In short, fighting Ward was probably the smartest decision they could have made at that point.

          Barrera vs Morales it not the same thing as Gatti Ward. B and M are hall of famer top pound for pound fighters. Ward probably would be hard to put in top 50.

            No, because they are great fighters. Ward is not a great fighter. He shouldn't have wasted his time fighting Ward when he could've fought better competition especially coming off a brutal loss to DLH. He may have gained more fans, but what about his career. He should have beat Ward in the first fight and moved on to fight better competition.

              Floyd has every right to think of himself as the best, if you dont think your the best, who will? You have to be overconfident in this sport, ITS BOXING, your throwing punches, your getting physically damaged in the ring, if you go out there thinking YOUR NOT THE BEST FIGHTER ON THE PLANET, your gonna get K'Oed.

                  I think it's great to have confidence. He is truly one of the best P4P fighters out there today. The only problem with this is that if he loses, it could tear him to pieces.
