I think Gatti was not very strong last night though compared to in other fights.

    That **** is easier said than done, dont you think the frustration of knowing that he is going to get countered over and over again by the quicker and more percise mayweather would cause Gatti to throw that **** out the window?

    Mayweather could see what was coming, a volume of dirty tactics and exchanging would do nothing, Mayweather beat him inside, outside, every ****ing side. Mayweather WANTED him to come inside and start brawling, you could see him luring him inside and virtually beggin him to do so, he knew what was coming, floyds defense was just too much. You need confidence to do that ****, and its obvious Gatti had none

      The game plan was bad, Gatti needed to be rough and tough at all costs if he had ANY chance of winning.

      Instead he tried to box and stay organized at the same time leaving Mayweather's defense organized.

            well the so-called "Blood & Guts Warrior" now goes into the Quitters Club along with Tyson, Tszyu, Navarro, Abdullaev, the Quitschko's, Freitas, and the president of the club Andrew Golota..... Gatti quit before the end of round 6 when he basically stopped fighting back, he just wanted to make it back to the corner so that Dirt McGirt could be the scapegoat....so to answer the question, GATTI LOST

              Gatti at least mildly protested when McGirt said he would stop it.

              I don't see how you can put Abdullaev on that list.....I mean he couldn't see out of one eye against a dangerous puncher like Cotto.

                Of course he mildly protested, remember when Iran Barkley protested his corner stopping the fight vs. James Toney? (actually you were probably 3 years old at that time)

                please refer to Arturo Gatti-Wilson Rodriguez, THEN tell me about a guy with one eye swollen shut

                  Actually I was 12 when Toney fought Barkley.

                  Against Rodriguez he was in the fight......against Floyd he had nothing.

                    I guess the conversation took a wrong turn....I was comparing ABDULLAEV quitting to Gatti NOT quitting vs. Rodriguez (ironically both were at MSG venues).... because you are right about Gatti having nada vs. Floyd and that it should have been stopped, no doubt about it

                      Ah okay.

                      Even then, Abdullaev wasn't having as much success against Cotto as Gatti had against Rodriguez.
