If Gatti wouldve went back to his brawling style would have had a chance? The reason I ask is because I think McGirt is the most overrated trainer in boxing. Gatti barley beat Branco with his style. I think Goosen is 10x better. He was the trainer win Cassamayor beat Chico and then the next fight Goosen went to Chico and McGirt went to Casamayor and had him fighting ****** ever since. Chico dominater the second fight until the end when you could tell that Joel abandon what Buddy was saying and just fought like he wanted to and then he started beating Chico again.

    McGirt tries to make guys fight just like he did and its ******. He is not a top trainer. Either way though I think Floyd wouldve killed Gatti

    I think McGirts Pretty good,i understand your criticism of him(and yeah goosen is awesome) but he hasnt had the best fighters,i mean gatti? he improved gattis game,but theres only so much he can do with a guy like gatti,i dont know how Mc Girt fought so i dont know if what you said about Joel is true or not,i think he is good though,i think hes far better that real overrated trainers like stewart and roach,I mean wtf has roach done to deserve having a job,and stewart,not just the harris thing,but i remember when cotto fought corley,it was clear he was fighting a ****** fight,and i remember stewart saying some **** like,"cotto is fithing the perfect fight",the hell he was.

    Id like to McGirt bring up a young fighter with some talent,not just fighters who are probably past their best years,I think McGirt's training would probably shine then.

      I wouldn't have mattered if Gatti had Jesus Christ training him. Floyd's speed was just way too much for Gatti to handle and nothing he could have done would have nuetrelized it.

        Gatti was the one that lost the fight merely by not being good enough. Buddy is one of the three best trainers in boxing and still it was not going to make a difference. One thing that McGirt did do was save Gatti from some long term damage by stoping it when he did, apparently watching his fighter do his best impression of a punching bag for another six rounds was not too high on McGirt's list of things to do.

                  Well Gatti chose McGirt as his trainer so he is ultimately responsible.

                  Gatti should have abandoned the game plan to jab and **** from range after the first round and just roughed up Mayweather as much as possible using every dirty trick in the book. Still Gatti really does not have the handspeed to exchange with Mayweather. But he should have been using his body more and trying to bull Mayweather to the ropes and volume punch his ass. I think Gatti was not very strong last night though compared to in other fights.

                    I think Gatti would have done better if he tried to brawl.

                    Both Castillo and Chaves had some succes pressuring Mayweather and hooking at close range. The weight difference might have become a bigger factor also, when they clinshed more.

                    Now Gatti stayed on the outside trying to jab.

                    You do not box with a (very much) better boxer.

                    A very good and easy win from Mayweather, hats off to him! :

                      i've watchedit, there's difference to asking for one more round and begging. begging is asking many times. i think gatti resigned to his fate and agreed to quit.
