    As for Gatti he holds the key at 147 because should he beat Baldy he will be recognized as the linear champ. Hes not going to fight PBF again so unfortunatly for u and him PBF will have to wait and see what Gatti does before PBF can claim the true title that Gatti should he be victorious will rightly posses. SO why that happens PBF Hatton, Margarito, and possbly spinks and Tszyu will be fighting for the right to be the next champ after Gatti

    And r U kiddin me? Mosley was in the top 3 when Winky beat him he came off a win over Oscar who he actually beat twice, and tito has also been in the top ten, hopefully u know Manny P situation on that, and Judah never even cracked the top 10 and when he came close he lost to Baldomir, name a top 10 p4p fighter PBF has beat? Castillo is one but PBF beat him 4 years ago, u do the math on that one
    and your boy is only famous for beating Irish Micky Ward twice, so you shouldnt be talking too much. yes Gatti is an exiting figther but thats about it, Title contender??? yes when he fights bumbs, what happened when he fought floyd??
    he got killed, floyd just dismatled him, and showed the rest of the world who thought Gatti was the ****, how good Gatti really is. so dont even say **** about floyd's titles being bs or his opposition not beaing decent, because your boy's is worse, lets compare Daamgrad and Judah why dont we??? or Ward and Castillo??
    Jesse James Leija Vs Corrales?? or Gianluca Branco Vs Corley???
    the only good Boxers Gatti has faced are DLH and Pretty Boy and we know how both ended up. i cant believe someone can possibly nut hugg Gatti after what Floyd did to him

        I like Gatti. I love the heart and spirit this guy has. But, realistically he should avoid fighting anymore and retire. I would hate to see him get beat in the ring any more. His last fight should have been against PBF. He looked horrible in that fight, but maybe that is what PBF does to people.

          THIS THE SITUATION - Let me tell you this, as you all know I am not a big fan of PBF at all but I do give him credit for beating Zab and didnt resort to thug tactics like Judah, which he could have because PBF was losing for almost the first half of the fight so I do respect that.

          SO here it is PBF got skills but not the #1 p4p, PBF is only behind Winky and Manny P, but you know what who ****in cares about p4p ppl have taken it way to seriously. This what needs to happen for PBF to be the "best" next fight needs to be against Margarito and then Hatton no excuses do not cherry pcik some bull**** fighter and dont call urself the champ at wleter b/c u are not

          The champ is Baldomir and hes fightin Gatti and since I think I am thee expert or one of thee experts when it comes to Gatti on this board I will tell how I think and how it should shake down at 147. In my opinion I think 147 is going to revolve around Gatti. NOW HOLD UP! (I can already see you guys going for the red karma) because if everything goes right im hoping Gatti can beat Baldy and be the linear champ so this is deal, no way is he fighting PBF again, I dont want to see it and the fans dont want to see it. The plan should be for Gatti to take on Oktay Urkal or the winner of the Cintron/Estrada match up, and then maybe a possible fight with Hatton. Which he then should vacate the title and possibly move to 154 for a possible last fight with vargas.

          So that is really what it comes down to at 147 if Gatti beats Baldy it gonna be up to him on how many defense he makes before he vacates the title. In the mean time what should happen is after Collazo Hatton should fight Spinks and Mayweather should fight Margarito and the winner of those 2 should fight for the eventual linear title at 147 that Gatti will vacate
          what u smokin lmfao

          u say mayweather cant hand pick people that he has to fight margarito or hatton next

          then u say gatti gonna fight baldy urkal and ****ing cintron/estrada winner lmao
          u seriously aint even making any sense dude

          why this double standard where gatti can fight bums so u can call him great but mayweather cant even get a tune up

          remember mayweathers tune up at 147 was sharmba mitchell who wouldve beat gatti
          mayweather is one of only a couple fighters that would fight someone as good as mitchell and it be called a tune up

          if gattis gonna try sneaking into another title then he at least needs to defend it against championship level opposition and not cintron/estrada winner level

          gatti should fight the hatton/collazo winner and unify wba and wbc
          mayweather will give up ibf to fight oscar at light middle
          castillo might come up there too
          cotto might too

          so let gatti fight them or admit hes washed up and not parade around calling himself champ after he beats baldomir

            Oooh wow, he beat one guy who stood in front of him for 8 rounds.

            First off, Gatti is not the Key to 147lbs. There is no interest in seeing him fight PBF again. The key to 147lbs will be Margarito, PBF, Hatton and Cotto (only has Paulie and 1 other fight at 140lbs). Dont get me wrong Gatti is great to watch, but he is B level skills with an A heart. Gatti is the Rudy of boxing. He gets crushed by elite fighters and unlike PBF the others on the list have real power and can really hurt Gatti.
            Exactly.

              Cotto ain't beatin' Gatti, he's too slow with his hands and his chin ain't that great. I know Gatti ain't a great fighter, but he'd be there the whole fight if that's what it took, kind of like Castillo will be. If Gatti went into that fight not trying to be SRR, it would only take a few rounds to wear Cotto down and get him out of there, that is, if Cotto managed to avoid his hooks for that long.

                Like I posted earlier, Gatti himself is vulnerable to punches and cuts always has been, its his ability to overcome both that makes us love him, but he doesnt have the talent to compete with the likes of Hatton, Cotto, Castillo, Margarito, PBF or even Zab if he came into the fight in serious shape. He could get seriously hurt facing them. To believe that Gatti can compete versus elites is thinking with your heart instead of your He is better off fighting Baldomir and retiring champ or getting 1 or 2 defenses vs B level opponents and then retire. Gatti doesnt need to and shouldn't fight the elites to get good pay days. He sells out AC as long as he fights decent competition.

                  i posted that in another thread like this one, thats the biggest favor that the human high light reel can give himself and us, the fans. baldy will be no walk in the park - the guys rugged and if gatti gets out of that unscathed, then he should push for a huge (main events can make any gatti defense huge) fight against the winner of the cintron/estrada fight - win lose or draw he'll go out on his shield and make a good payday.

                  but it'll be a sad day, if main events pits him w/ either pbf, cotto, margarito, hatton or judah. however, i doubt that happens because carl moretti wanted nothing more than to avoid mayweather and it was gatti who thought he could do something, moretti, a smart business man, if he "loves" gatti like a brother like he says he does, wont put him in w/ the aforementioned.

                    I think if he faces Hatton, he'll lose like Zoo did maybe from a cut or a swollen eye, just because of the workrate Hatton can sustain. I think if he faced Margarito, he'd lose because Margarito is just too rangy and has power. I think if he faced Castillo, he could very well lose because of Castillo's chin and stamina, but it could be a very competetive fight. But Cotto?
                    C'mon, they're the same fighter with different chins lol
                    IMHO, Cotto's only chance is to cut Gatti early and get them to stop it, otherwise Gatti will be too much for Cotto. They are both basically skilled brawlers, and I'd easily give the skill edge to Gatti. I agree that Gatti has never been and never will be a great fighter, and he'd probably lose to pretty much everyone you mentioned, but I just can't see Cotto beating him, he just has too many flaws in his defense.
