Better performance: Toney TKO9 Barkley or Mayweather TKO6 Gatti

[Jim Jeffries]

Lol I knew I'd catch slack for this question at some point. The only reason I posed it is because they're both similar in the sense that both men were above the weight class they started in, going up against a supposedly bigger, stronger opponent, and both used their speed and technical brilliance to dominate their opposition.

Gatti's best days were at 130 though, and even there he wasn't that good.

Floyd was a huge favorite in that fight as well.

Iran barkley was at the end of his career and severely weight drained when he fought James "fat" Toney.

Lets not act like Barkley is all that, he got beat by a fat Roberto Duran.

barkley beat Duran but was robbed on the scorecards.He also holds two wins over one of the greatest of the modern era in Thomas Hearns and held three titles in three different weight classes.

Both great performances. Lets not act like Barkley is all that, he got beat by a fat Roberto Duran.

Barkley, I think was all that, but at the time was a little long in the tooth. He had been through most of his wars.

I meant to vote that they were both beautiful boxing displays.

Angel Manfredy.

Gatti was badly cut in that bout, Manfredy even held back due to the cut. Also Manfredy was a good boxer too, nothing wrong with losing to Manfredy.

He wasn't KO'd.

He was stopped on a cut.

I uploaded it on Youtube. Horrible cut...

All valid opinions. Like I said, to each their own and if I were to vote, I'd honestly pick Toney as well. I do agree Gatti's best days were behind him, and that even in his best days he wasn't that skilled as a fighter, but Floyd still put it on him something fierce.

Good call, shouldn't have missed that.

Did Gatti win?

No, because he got beat by a fighter who was lesser than a fat Duran.
End of story.
