    I would love to see Gatti win, but Gatti is the one that needs to KO/TKO Floyd cuz he will nerver outbox him..

      he also showed how good his chin was. that 9th round is a famous round of gatti being pounded away. and although some of the reason he wouldnt go down was because of how much heart he has its also his chin to be able to take punch after punch like that.

        he also invented a new great defense, take every punch your chin. It works so well, that must be why his face looks so normal

            ACtually I forgot about that

            thx for the reminder

            If thats the case

            Floyd by a late stoppage

            or Gatti catches him

            either one

            but I gotta go with Floyd by stoppage

            but it's upset year

              That's hilarious. Everybody loves to hate Mayweather and loves to love Gatti. Can anybody name a really good fighter that Gatti beat? Oh that's right... I forgot his best fight was against Mickey Ward. Every other really good and some good fighters whomped his a**. Gatti's only real chance to win this fight is Mayweather's overconfidence.

                I think Gatti must apply pressure...ala Castillo and Jesus Chavez in order to have a chance in winning this fight. This type of fighters which I like to call pressure fighters have given Mayweather some trouble. Gatti is bigger and stronger than Mayweather and the two fighters I previously mentioned. I just don't see any other way for Gatti to win this. He must impose his size and strength on PBF. I just don't know if his mug will hold up on the counters that are sure to come back or if he will be able to wear PBF before this happens.

                  [QUOTE=Dio2]That's hilarious. Everybody loves to hate Mayweather and loves to love Gatti. Can anybody name a really good fighter that Gatti beat?[QUOTE]

                  hmmm...Wilson Rodriguz, Gabe Ruelas, Tracy Harris Patterson twice, Terron Millet, Lenord Dorin, Gatti beat Ward w/ one hand (literally, he broke it in the forth round) Beat Branco w/ one hand (re in injured the same hand in next fight)

                  Cmon I dont care how suspect u think Gatti's boxing skills are you have to have some talent to outbox a person w/ one hand. I just keep remembering what said after the fourth round in Gatti/Ward III "My hand, my Hand" Then Mcgirt asks, "What do you want me to do?" Gatti replies "I gotta keep going" ... It gives me the chills everytime I see or think about that. After disgraceful quitting efforts by Abulleve, Tyson and Koysta we all know Gatti will not quit, Floyd better bring a gun to stop Gatti. even then he wont quit.

                  But I think now Ive come to my prediction for the fight on June 25th. Yes Gatti will be victorious, but he will make floyd QUIT!! floyd will join the ranks of tyson and Koysta...goodnight sweet prince.

                  but to answer the thread, fans of Gatti tend to overrate his boxing skills. Gatti is a decent boxer, not a great one , has gotten better since the Millet fight. Sisforshaq finally got something right on these forums, and it only took how many posts bro? But Gatti is underrated in his fighting skills and his puching power. Ask Leija he siad Gatti hits harder than Koysta.

I imagine if Gatti gets that chance he will get the job done because he has more power, and although his boxing has been working for him recently, he might have the best chance just brawling with mayweather because, like I said before when Correly kept throwing punches he gave floyd some trouble. I really doubt Gatti or anyone for that matter can out box him.
                      Corley rocked Floyd so gatti has a good chance ?? interesting
