      Has Mayweather ever had the opportunity to become a Super-Star by swinging for the fences? Has Mayweather ever been given a chance to fight someone who would be considered a challenge, and if that person was a challenge would the public even know their name.

      The audience for this fight is like nothing Mayweather has ever experienced, this is by far his biggest fight, why did john ruiz change his style to be more crowd pleasing, why did chris bryd, for $$$$$$$.

      Mayweather has an opportunity to $$$$$ and prove he is a fighter worth watching, to more than the boxing purists by winning this fight with a more physical style.

        Floyd will try to play games, he will get over confidenent leave himself open Gatti lands a devastating left hook to the body then quickly follows it up with a right hook to the head then another left hook to the body. Mayweather goes down for the first time his career. Gatti stands over Mayweather's limp corpse and says "how do like that boy." Mayweather gets up, Gatti hits him in the liver again after a couple of straight rights. Mayweather goes down again and this time stays down. Gatti wins KO 7 And becomes Kostay Tzyu's next opponent.

          Then McKay wakes up in a cold sweat asking about the boy that beat him up in the 4th grade. Talking about "Im going get that sucka".

            That's not Floyd's style. So, he's not gonna change his style just to please the crowd. He's gonna stick to his game plan and when the opportunity arises, he's gonna take Gatti out.

              Mayweather already said what he's going to do.

              If you read the interview he says, he's going to box circles around him for a little while, then he's going to go in the pocket and punish him.

                Smart man, I cant believe people give Gatti a chance really. Common sense knows this is Boxer vs Puncher and the boxer happens to be the best we have seen in years and well Gatti isnt even championship material.

                  Gatti aint champ material? He the current WBC superlightweight 140 pound champ. And he was IBF champ at 130 pounds. Gatti is the champion. Mayweather aint gonna take his belt, he only gonna take alot of left hooks to body and head.

                      Does not dimish the fact that Gatti is WBC Champion and Mayweather is not. How can anybody say Gatti aint Champ Material when is current 140 WBC champ. And was IBF champ at 130 pounds it is quite ridiculous. And alot of Gatti's losses are on nonsence cuts.
