Another one bites the dust!

Gatti isnt a bum, Mayweather is just great. I dont see anybody beating Floyd right now. Cotto is only 24 so he has time to mature. Hatton beat an old tyzu who might not even be as good as Floyd. I doubt Gatti goes anywhere,there might be a Hatton Gatti fight before a Mayweather Hatton fight just for the money. I want to see mayweather go after the best fighters now. Zab Judah and Shane Mosely are very appealing fights if he goes up or they decide to go down.

Is there still big money for taking Gatti on, after what happened tonight?

I'm not pissed I'm just high on life or something.

Anyway, I've been a huge Cotto fan for longer than anyone else I know (besides Borikua I think...ever since I saw him fight Juuko) and I've done nothing but prop him up saying he'll rule the 140 pound division. I'm ready to put mucho BS pointage on that ****.

Cool, I'm pretty keyed up too, which is why I want to make sure I'm not coming off like an ******* or anything .

I was down on Cotto a bit before but he made me a fan again with the Abduallev fight. His work ethic, endurance and ability to change tactics on the fly are top-notch.

Dont sleep on Oscar De la Hoya, this guy loves a challenge and he doesnt avoid anyone, if he gets focused again i can easly see fireworks

Yes he does...he avoided Ike Quartey after he got that gift decision and instead of the rematch went for a big time grueling test against a past his best Oba Carr.

I'm thinking Gatti-Mosley might come off. Why not? Both fighter will think they have a chance in this one. 2005 Mosley is not '99 Mosley and Gatti would have a much easier time keeping up with him. You heard it here first.

i think the Quartey fight was his best fight ever i had hi winning by 3 rounds. Specially how he came out in the 12 round throwing punches like no other, i still get goosebumps when i see it.

Floyd was dominant in this fight no doubt but lets not get ahead of ourselves, gatti WAS NOT one of the elite fighters in the division. I think hatton and cotto give floyd all he can handle and with another tough fight under his belt I think cotto can knock floyd out.

no one can call gatti a bum for his performance tonight, he was dominated no doubt, but every boxer who gets into a ring should have respect. i dont respect floyd though because of how much **** he talks. gatti will remain my favorite fighter because he stands what i think boxing stands for. he doesnt turn down a fight, he fights against odds, he has heart, courage, he believes in himself and he doesnt talk **** to get more money he doesnt sell himself out. although i think gatti would have done better(not saying he'd win) if he had reverted back to his origianl style of pressure and going to war. you cant expect to change gatti's style of going to war, which he is comfotable in and dominates, into a boxer. and then put him up against mayweather who is superb in that styleof fighting. it doesnt work like that. its like taking tyson and training him to be bernard hopkins.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. GATTI IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT BOXING STANDS FOR>

Very harsh. Gatti fought with all the heart anyone can expect of a man, but Floyds speed was way too much for him. Gatti didnt make excuses, and Floyd was oh so respectful to him after the fight. Even said he was a great champion and was grateful that Gatti gave him the chance in the ring to begin with. For that, Floyd earned a little respect from me and I disliked him alot. Hes very slick, very damn fast...seems to be the complete package. there should be no shame in Gatti losing to someone of his caliber but I see absolutely no reason for Gatti to leave the div. why would he?? If every fighter that lost to a better boxer left, there'd be no one left to watch.

I agree with a lot of what you've said.

I'm a big Gatti fan. No excuses. Gatti lost to the better man, clearly. Floyd looks incredible at 140. I dont' think this fight proved Gatti to be a bad fighter. Especially since that would be taking away from Floyd's performance. Mayweather is an incredible fighter. There is no shame in losing to someone with that much skill. Floyd also showed he's settled into 140 very well, and he's hitting damned hard. Mayweather looked like he was in better condition that I've ever seen him.

Leave the Gatti fans alone. There guy took a beating, and showed the determination they love. He took his beating like a man, and had the class to admit his defeat without making any excuses. Mayweather also showed quite a bit of class, which I was really happy about.

I just don't agree that Gatti should keep fighting. I think all the punches have caught up with him. He stood up under a lot of punishment that most fighters couldn't handle. But really, I don't want to see him hurt, because he's one of my favourite fighters to watch. He's thirty three, and that's getting pretty old to be taking punishment like that. It will start to leave very permanent damage on him. If he can't handle 140 anymore, and has to move to 147, I just don't see him being able to do very much. He's looking like he's past his peak.

i dont even think people on this site know what a "bum" stands for, and if they did know what a bum is, "pretty boy" floyd is a perfect example.
