Did Mayweather's domination of Gatti reminded you of Ali/Williams?

Originally posted by Ghazan View Posthe was a good fighter but after watching the Gatti fight I never knew he was that good..even for his mountanous standards he was on a personal everest that night in New Jersey..it resembled Ali's domination of Cleveland Williams when Ali knocked him down 4 times in 3 rounds..even if Gatti was past his prime he should have put up more of a fight.
It was such a one sided display that it looked almost like a sparring session..he controlled the tempo of the fight from start to finish and was almost landing at will..it was like watching an artist at work...I believe the floyd of the Gatti fight could have beaten any fighter in history at 140..the only one who MIGHT have beaten him would have been the Manny Pacquaio of 2009.
Was floyd's victory over Gatti his 'magnum opus' (greatest work)?

Little do they know Gatti got his ass handed to him by DLH a couple fights before that. Yet Floyd gets more credit for beating Gatti to them. Even after being washed up from them wars.

Two massively overmatched opponents facing their stylistic nightmare.
A little i guessOriginally posted by The Weebler IIIt wasn't anywhere close to the best Arturo Gatti, it is equivalent to a past prime Roy Jones getting KO'd by Danny Green.
Gatti was coming off a streak and was even being called revitalized by some. He was in much better condition. Which admittedly doesnt mean much.

Williams was shot figuratively, and had actually been shot by police literally, a few months prior.

Gatti was a Champion, and ranked.
Roy Jones was neither.

Such an overrated performance. That people hold the Gatti fight as the standard for Mayweather is ridiculous. He's been so dominant against such better fighters.
Not to mention that his fans say he will "Gatti" every fighter since, he never does, but they keep saying it anyway.

Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostGatti was wrecked and had been through multiple wars. HBO gave him a couple of easy fights and put him in with Mayweather to knock over. He was nowhere near a prime Gatti, just a shell of the fighter he was and lost 2 of his next 3 before calling it a day.
Still not reminiscent of Jones-Green though.
