I think KT would be a very entertaining fight, AND I'd give Gatti a chance, he has good handspeed, punches with some authority, and is always in great shape. I think Gatti is much more than a three round fighter, and I think KT punches harder, no doubt, but IMO, Gatti puts his punches together better.
    I agree that Gatti puts his punches together better, but I always feel like he comes out the worse in the exchanges. As long as he keeps boxing he's great.

      I thought you said that you havent even seen Floyd fight
      I never seen a lot of people fight, but that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge that they're good or better than another fighter. Its called a "scouting report." Geez man too many smart asses in these forums.

        Something else that would be a factor against PBF is the sheer volume of punches that Gatti often throws in fights where he can keep his opponent in front of him. PBF is quick on his feet, but he has been walked down consistently through entire fights by certain opponents. Of course, when they had him against the ropes, they couldn't really capitalize because of his counterpunching and head movement, but one was able to hit him enough to cause swelling under his eye, my point is, what if it was Gatti? I think with the volume of punches he throws, and PBF's bad hands, Gatti would be able to get him in trouble, just a thought.
