To be fair, Floyd had little respect for any of his big name opponents during the Pretty Boy era.
'Member the verbal spanking of Chico Corrales only to go on and dominate him when Corrales was widely thought to have just as much a shot at beating Floyd?
As far as Gatti, we can say it was a mismatch in hindsight but frankly, by the numbers, Gatti was a favorite going into that fight - he had top billing, it was his hometown, he had the crowd until he started getting schooled.
In my opinion the only real mismatch Floyd's had was Angel Manfredy.
