    Yah, I'd say Floyd lost the first one. The second one was pretty close. It's funny listening to the commentators talk about how Floyd is tryin' to rescue his tarnished image after the last fight. And they don't seem to impressed by Floyd's behaviour in the ring. I think he complains to the ref at one point that Castillo is pushing him into the ropes. I can't remember if that's exactly what he was complaining about. He's a great boxer, but he doesn't seem to deal adversity very well.

      yeah but when its all said and done he won both, when kids in the future look at his record like i look at sugar ray robinson or leonards, they will see all W's, it dont say by that fight he really lost it or he dont deal with adversity well, plus thats only one fight, he has beat everyone hes faced and it will continue with gatti.

Mayweather is too good for him and he will show his greatness against Gatti.
        He wasn't gonna pull out the fight when that was his biggest payday to date. If you were going away for a year & knowing you weren't gonna be able to provide for your family you would take the payday regardless if you were prepared or not.

          Mayweather does have a little power, but nothing that would trouble Gatti with one shot. He could TKO Gatti, but it'd take time, and alot of accurate combinations.

          Gatti does have a chance to win, but not until late in the fight, and then only if he can lull Floyd into taking a few chances. And at Mayweather's age, it's possible...he's arrogant enough, certainly. If that doesn't happen, though, it'll be another lopsided win for PBF.

            Corrales isn't the same boxer that stepped into the ring against Mayweather last time. If anyone has much of a chance to beat Floyd, it'll be Chico right now. He's got power, great handspeed, and in the last couple of years he's remade himself as a boxer/puncher. Honestly, I think he's probably the only fighter who stands a good chance of catching Floyd flush with a big punch. If they fight again, I think sometime after the 6th or 7th he'll start catching Floyd with left hooks occasionally. How well Mayweather can take those shots will determine how the fight ends. I don't think Floyd can take more than a few, personally.
