    i say mayweathers starting to train right now is more than enough time for him. But if he is to get a showdown with DLH, best believe he will train for longer.

      Mayweather will not gain any new fans or recognition after the fight.

      Mayweather will not be fighting a fighters fight, he will put on a clinic. So the Fans will say he ran around the ring all night. Floyd will win this fight with a Jab. It will be a boring fight, and Floyd will not win any new fans by fighting the smart fight.

      Mayweather has no mainstream fans. His fan appeal sucks. Most of the people look at him like a spoiled,rich, wannabe gansta punk.

      Mayweather is the best damn fighter in the sport today. But being the best does not translate into money.

The problem is, people follow their people (NJ loves Gatti, for example, as do Canadians) and that's why Floyd isn't as popular as, say, Gatti.

        That being said, as soon as he mops the floor with Arturo he will gain recognition.
        What the hell are you talking about??? That is complete bull****, people dont like PBF because he is black??? Cmon on man, people dont like him becasue he is an ******* in and out of the ring. The boxing world has fell in love w/ many black boxers before, what the hell are you talking about.

        People like Gatti because of the way he fights, he take 2 punches to the face to land one punch, he'll get knocked down and come back from off the canvas and knock his opponet out, that is why people love Gatti, the way he fights. Just because PBF has great boxing skills dosent mean people have to watch him. And they still wont after the Gatti fight.

            Kostya, Cotto, Floyd, Vivian, Corley, even Urkal, are all more talented than Arturo, and they'd all beat him pretty easily....

            remember, the best fighter Gatti has ever beaten at 140 is....Gianluca Branco, yes, THE Gianluca Branco....Dorin and Leija are blown up lightweights and Gatti was 158+ for both fights, and Ward was a glorified club fighter with no defense....

            I know Gatti's pretty and all, my wife loves the guy, but he's an average fighter with the right complexion to get the connection
            Gatti would knock out Cotto

              PBF will gain nothing from this fight win, lose, or draw. He's always saying how Gatti is a bum...well if he beats Gatti he will be known as beating a bum and not get any respect for that, infact he will probably lose respec for not picking a better fighter in the eyes of many ppl, and if he loses he's done for, he will be known as someone who got beat by a bum and lose most of if not all his fans, he will lose what little respect he has now. In my eyes pbf picked a lose lose fight, Gatti has everything to gain in this fight. If (I said IF! ppl so dont jump down my neck), if Gatti loses but he puts on a good performance people will love him more and if he wins that will propel his career like crazy and get the big paychecks that he deserves.

              Now why i dont like pbf. He has no heart in the ring, he has all the skills to be the best fighter who has ever stepped in the ring but he never commits, he never gives 100%. I like ****yness in a fighter but he hasnt proven to me that he deserves respect. So what if hes undefeated, how many fights has Gatti lost but still has more fan than prf can count...well he count that high so never mind. The majority of boxinf fans what to see not necessarily a brawl but a fight in which both fighter give it their all, Gatti always gives it his all thats why we love him, he has done more for the sport of boxing than pbf ever will in his life. Like I said befor, pbf has the skills but to me he's a joke. GATTI BY KO!!!

                Technically if PBF has legal court issues and can't stay away from the law, he should be more so called the bum than Gatti. Gatti at least is keeping himself out of trouble. In that respect, Floyd is either too immature or just doesn't commit to the sport as well as he should even though he's undefeated and great. He could be GREATER!

                  Floyd has lots of fans, true boxing fans. He will not lose to Gatti because he is to fast, to accurate, to slick, and has a defense that is simply great. Gatti cuts easily and will be opened up fast. Then he will go after Floyd only to have the fight stopped around round 7. Peace Floyd is king ha ha ha

                    Another thing that separates great fighters from good fighters.

                    Great fighters train hard every day.

                    Poor-good fighters only train hard a month or two before a fight.
