    Floyd was right about Gatti

    Anyone else remember that after the Gatti fight, in a dizzy fit of kindness and goodwill, Floyd Mayweather declared that Gatti "could be world champion again"?

    It's kind of funny that if the Gatti-Baldomir fight goes through that this claim could actually come true. Bet Floyd never saw that one coming .

    True.......He is probably a little pissed at Zab.Hopefully he will take it out on him when they step into the ring....I wanted Judah before but I can't forgive him after the Baldomir fight.

      Yeah the welterweight division is about as open as it's ever been in the past. I find it compelling......not the talent pool at 147 because its extemely shallow....but the idea anyone can become champion at that weight.

        No kidding, Zab really ruined things for everybody.

        Consider this scenario: Gatti beats Baldomir, which gives him the Ring title. Then Floyd beats Zab, giving him 2/3 alphabet belts (as far as I know) and sets him up as the #1 contender.

        So what happens then? No way does Gatti-Mayweather 2 happen again. Not that the Ring belt is that important, but it does help provide a bit of stability in the sport, and this situation will really screw things up for them at welter.

          Gatti should fight Floyd with his newfound confidence.

            Yeah, no **** he'll become champion. You really think HBO's money man wasn't going to win his "comeback" fight? HBO's just recycling this guy like nobody's business.

              Then it seemed more like kind words to make up for the stuff Floyd said before the fight, like Gatti looking Japanese with all his plastic surgery.

              But, I couldn't be more proud for Gatti. He should retire on a high note after TKOing Baldomir.

                Gatti had new found confidence with McGirt. Damn, Zab ****ed things up big time.

                  But HBO couldn't have orchestrated the Baldomir win, which sets Gatti up for a chance at the title.

                    Slick matchmaking & maneuvering on the part of Team Gatti.
                    To me, that's been as much a notable part of his career as has been his style & guts.

                    I would rather watch guys like Pacquiao & Corrales raising hell with the best in the sport, than see Gatti light things up against mediocrities. No offense, but Damgaard was pretty awful.
