    If you want Mayweather in a casket , and it will happen too, this is why Cotto is facing Chop Chop.

      Champ-Tszyu
      1-Gatti
      2-Harris
      3-Mayweather
      4-Mitchel
      5-Cotto
      6-Hatton
      7-Corley
      8-Ndou
      9-Leija
      10-Urkal

      The only clear cut victory for Gatti in this list is the guy he just fought...he is running out of opponents he can beat. I think Corley, Ndou and Urkal all could beat Gatti...they would be close fights but I give them a good shot. Everyone else on this list would kick Gatti's ass.

      I love Arturo but he is not a great fighter and never was...he is an exciting fighter, maybe the most exciting I have ever seen. This deadline **** is wierd, does main events want to start the fight promotion tommorrow?

      If PBF is out then who is his next opponent? Ill bet you it is no one in the top 6 or 7...Ndou maybe a guy they would look at but then again too me that fight would be a u pickem. Chances are Gatti's next opponent is not even ranked by the ring...it is smart business to be careful with Gatti for as long as you like...he can sell out at will and he can't beat a top guy...why risk it?

      My money is on Gatti fighting a couple of fringe contenders in the coming year.

          Mayweather in a casket? that might be going to extremes. I think it would be a good fight.

                Main Events Gives Floyd Mayweather Deadline Of End Of This Week

                02/02/05- Main Events, the New Jersey promotional company representing Gatti, has set an end-of-week deadline for Mayweather to resolve the legal problem or scuttle the proposed June 11 pay-per-view fight, according to Mayweather's promoter Bob Arum.

                Jury selection is scheduled Feb. 25 at Grand Rapids District Court. Talks will cease if Mayweather follows that schedule, according to Carl Moretti, Main Events' vice president of boxing operations. "Our time frame is dictated by what they do," Moretti said. "But if we just knew what they had planned and what their schedule is, if we knew when they were going to enter a plea, or if we knew they weren't going to enter a plea, that would help a lot."

                Moretti said negotiations absolutely could not extend beyond next week, given the advance promotion time necessary for a pay-per-view telecast. But Arum said Main Events attorney Pat English set the deadline at this week.

                "As far as Main Events is concerned, Mayweather caused this by missing his trial in December," Arum said. "Their position is they'll start looking at other fighters for June 11 if Mayweather isn't available by the end of the week. "My position is different. If the legal situation is cleared up by the beginning of March, we're OK. But I don't represent their fighter and I understand their position."

                  That Gatti can fill the seats stuff is bull ****. He never filled the seats until the last couple of years and why is that? because he has every fight on the board walk in his home town. If he went out West or down South he wouldnt fill the seats
