would getting "Gatti'ed" by floyd be worst than KTFO6?

Pac was pushing JMM's **** in before that KO. People tend to gloss over that point.

No, that's the part that everyone always mentions lol.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Yes, being gatti'd is worse.. At least manny was in a wild shootout and in a close fight..

Gatti never won 1 second of that entire fight.. It was a total shutout destruction on par with roy-paz, toney-Barkley

and a round before that he was being Knocked down by JMM..

Pacquiao is shot.

floyd has the benefit of a calculated retirement and his defensive style prolongs a fighters prime.

If manny is shot, then what are roy jones, toney, and Judah


You do realize that since the ko loss, manny has beaten 3 world class fighters, 2 of them undefeated Titlists, all 3 with different styles, and manny maybe lost 4 Rds combined. many welters not named floyd would be hard pressed to do that.
Manny isn't prime, but neither is floyd.. Neither are shot, and both are still top p4p guys.. Its going to be a great fight

I don't see Floyd ever having a Gatti type performance ever again in his career. That was Floyd in his absolute prime against a fighter who was several years passed his. The only way Floyd could recreate that type of performance again is he fought someone like a Mike Alvarado. A walking, talking, punching bag who's over the hill.

May 2nd is still a 50/50 fight to me. It's way too difficult for me to see one guy dominating the other.

[aretrospective]

I'd have to say it would be. As somebody has already mentioned, Gatti didn't win 1 second vs Floyd. It was so one-sided I remember finding hard to watch at times.

Don't think it will happen though. Unless it's a bluff (quite possible), with Roach saying about how Manny has got to be careful not to walk into Floyd's trap and that their tactics must be spot-on I think he'll be overly cautious, Floyd will pot-shot and pick up points as usual and it will be a boring fight, with Floyd winning fairly comfortably and taking over more and more as the fight goes on and Manny gets frustrated. I'll still watch with great interest though.

My two pennies' worth

[HitBattousai]

Yes, it would be a lot worse, but it is not going to happen so it doesn't matter. Floyd didn't "Gatti" Robert Guerrero, who posed him no threat whatsoever. He hasn't pulled a Gatti on anyone he's fought since Gatti, who subsequently got Gatti'd by Baldomir and Gatti'd/retired by Gomez.
