    They had a deal in place 2 years before the fight, so to say pursuing is not accurate.

      Yeah...ok. Sure bro.

      He wanted the Gatti fight, plain and simple. It was his platform to becoming a PPV fighter. Easy fight against a washed up but still extremely popular fighter

        That kinda just solidifies my overall point.

            Like I said yesterday Kosta was next but he lost. So the fight being pursued was Kosta. To get to him, floyd had to successfully execute the plan to get a 140lb title.

                No he didn't. The fight didn't need another title. Especially a paper one that belonged to Kostya anyway.

                Maybe he wouldve fought Tszyu....we'll never know. But he did choose to go after Gatti.

                  Tzyu wanted Gatti too, does that mean he was ducking Mayweather?

                    You say it doesn't. Those making the fight thought otherwise. HBO, who both floyd and gatti were contracted to at the time, planned floyd's moves and the gatti fight. It wasn't floyd pursuing Gatti.
