    I don’t rank either fighter too highly, but I think Davis gets the knockout somewhere around the middle rounds in a very entertaining fight.

    Same. I don't have a high opinion of either, but the Davis who stopped Pedraza would pound Gatti. Way too fast.

    I would go Gatti. We know he has guts at least. Davis is suspiciously babied and gets really upset at the suggestion by his own promoter of fighting better guys. I suspect he’s a front runner. He also has crap defense, crap footwork, poor stamina, unproven power, short arms etc;

    Gatti's wins over Patterson are better than anything Davis has done. He was bigger at the weight too and could really bang at 130. Gatti would be favourite for me.

    I agree with most of what your saying, but at this point I think it’s safe to say that Davis has some pretty good punching power, and Gatti was always pretty easy too hit, so I think he gets ko’d at some point

    I’m not sold on his power. He’s been matched with guys 2-3 weight classes lower with poor defense. Even the ghost of Gambia fighting on a bum leg survived until late and he never had a chin.

    Davis looked awful that night and that’s a valid point, but I wouldn’t underrate his power just because he had one bad night

    He will end up the same as his fellow thug friend Broner. ALL TALK. Nothing real.

    If you think angel manfredy beats tank I have seriously doubts you've watched much of either

    Would of course be an awesome fight. I think Gatti would do well early on. But Tank catches him with something huge, thrn Gatti goes in to survival mode. Gatti tags Tank they exchange and Tank puts Gatti out

    Tank would beat the absolute **** out of Gatti. These two are not on the same level.
