Originally posted by deuskieCan someone give me credentials of Leija. He has lost all his major fights including fights to Oscar de la Hoya, Shane Mosley, and Kostya Tszyu. What makes you think that he will beat a fighter who is at his best right now. Leijas last 4 fights included fighters with records of 16-1, 13-7, 17-4, and 16-4. In fact his entire career is filled with fights with second class fighters. All of his major fights have resulted in a loss. He is 3 inches smaller than Gatti, and we all remember what happened last time a smaller fighter, Dorin at 4 inches smaller fought Gatti. His reach is also shorter. Gatti too, has had some losses in his career including to de la Hoya. However his last fights with Dorin (22-0) and Branco (32-0), had great records at the times he fought them, show that Gatti is really in his prime right now. It seems that they are very similiar fighters in how their careers have shaped out, however with the reach and heigh advantage I give Gatti the edge in this fight.
If you compare Gatti and Leijas record,there's no quesstion that Leijas has been in with the better opposition.Just by looking at Leijas record,you can see that he's never backed down from a challenge.He's fought Nelson,DLH,Mosely,Lazcano,Ward,Zoo to name a few.Leija maybe older age wise,but I think as far as wear and tear in the ring,I think Gattis definetly a tad bit older.Leijas lived a clean life outside the ring while Gattis had his problems with the bottle in the past.And NO,theres no way Gatti is still in his prime,LMAO!
Alot of you sound like it's a sure bet that Gatti destroys Leija Saturday night.Here's a couple of reasons why I dont think this will be a walk in the park for Gatti.
1.Gatti cuts easily and also has that bad right hand.
2.Leija held his ground against Zoo.I think Zoo would outclass Gatti with ease,so if Leija can stand his ground against the best p4p 140pounder,then why not Gatti?
3.Oscar De La Hoya The last man to KO Gatti is the promoter of Leija.Do ya think DLH is helping Leija prepare for this fight,lol.
4.Leija has played the role of the spoiler before,so this is nothing new.I know alot of you want to see Gatti-Mayweather but dont hold your breath especially when the guy you want to win is facing Mr Spoiler himself.
5.Very few times has Gatti made a fight easy on himself.Gatti made a short night in his last fight,but I doubt he gets past Leija without a few bumps & bruises and maybe even a loss?I dont see this fight being easy for either fighter but I know the winner of this will have earned the victory.Last edited by jpboxer3; 01-25-2005, 02:08 AM.Comment

*Gatti wins this one easy.
*A megabuck fight with PBF around April~June should be expected. Around the same period as Tszyu-Hatton.
*Hopefully the winners will fight each other...Gatti-Tszyu.Comment
