    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.
    this is true, gatti is and always will be what the sport is about, he showed determination and will where many people would call it quits. he lost to someone who is in his prime and there is no excuse for that and he made no excuse. there is also no shame in it niether.how can you disrespect a man who has shown such unique qualities that are hard to come upon in this sport today? it bewilders me, they are as arrogant as mayweather himself. and whoever actually believed what mayweather said after that fight about gatti is a gullable fool. that was only to try and cover up all the disrespecting trash talk he had been saying for the weeks before the fight and to try and make fans.

      You do it to Mayweather o'plenty just because you don't like his attitude. All the way to downright lying about him running tonight.

      You don't like him? Fine, but don't spew outright bull****.

        Mayweather had a chance to trash-talk Gatti in the ring, and after the fight, like he always does. Whether his intentions were completely honest, I'm happy Gatti didn't have to hear it.

          Right from one of my previous posts. explaining the beating of Gatti

          People say that Floyd is going to loose because he runs his mouth and is going to take Gatti lightly. Getting paid 3.1 million plus bonuses from the selling of the ppv makes you not only run your mouth to help get the tickets sold out on the first day but also to get people to buy the ppv. Floyd has used Gatti not to be a tough fight but to help him become a superstar to the public. He is going to run through Gatti and move on to bigger paydays and even bigger fights. Hes all buisness when he steps in that ring and will prove it to the world watching.

          "I'm going to beat him, I'm going to talk to him while I beat him, I'm going to talk to the reporters and announcers while I beat him, and in between rounds, I want to borrow his cell phone so I can talk to a real live Arturo Gatti fan while I beat him."-Floyd Mayweather Jr.

          Come June 25th, this truly is the last day we will see Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

          TO all Gatti fans, I told ya so. People said that BS not gona happen. Well I guess it did
          Well the only real ppl who actually thought gatti was goin to win are the Hardcore gatti fans so it wasn't really BS, we all pretty much new pbf was going to win. Gatti was the underdog no doubt coming into this fight.

            alright maybe running was the wrong word i like mayweather the boxer, i dont like mayweather as the person he is. to be honest if he was respectful of gatti and respectful of the sport and not constantly running his mouth and showing off then he porbbaly would be one of my favorite boxers. he shows excellent skill,sorry i didnt meanrun just like, you know.

              Absolutely, Gatti is a warrior and a peoples champion and if it is in AC there will always be money. A loss doesnt matter for a fighter like Gatti and his drawing power.

                Vivian fought the dumbest fight I ever remember seeing him fight! I dont know what he was thinking, but he blew it in a big way and I spent most of the rds bouncing between yelling at him to just JAB and askign him what on earth he thought he was doing!! So busy trying to impress the crowd and then to just get caught the way he did, shockign!
