Gatti Fans
First things first, Gatti is not as hard a puncher as Castillo, so even if he caught up with Floyd (which he can't) he's not going to stop him. Castillo clocked Floyd more than once and was able to handle it.
Secondly, Both Corrales and Castillo would knockout Gatti, he's an overrated guy who has been fortunate to lock up with other medicore fighters and it happened to work. Same thing happened in the 50's with Tony Zale and Graziano...they had great wars and everybody wanted to see them...but Ray Robinson would eat and destroy both of those guys even though he wasn't as popular.
Thirdly, Gatti has a title as a warrior, but only due to fighting other washed up fighters, like Mickey Ward, we seem to forget, Gatti was crushed by guys like Alvin Robertson and Angel Manfreddy and le's not even get into what DeLa Hoya and Mayweather did to him. Why people continue to talk his name up, after he's lost to all the best guys and want to match him with a guy like Floyd who's undefeated, captured at least four belts and is in peak form...there's only one answer for that...they don't know boxing...

To be honest, he must've been a little messed up in the head to fight him in the first place.
