    Watch Gatti v Mayweather if you don't believe me - his reactions are below par.

    It only takes one of Naz's punches to knock him down. he'd probably get back up three times but it would keep happening.

    IMHO Naz would have won his fight comfortably.

    Bad fight to compare it too very bad. That gatti had already been through the wars. Early gatti at lightweight was very different

    Gatti would have won. No doubt in my mind. He was too solid to be blown away by Hamed and would have landed heavily enough to take Naz out. I'd say Gatti at 130 was a heavier hitter then Barrera and had a good precise jab. His left hook was often a one shotter. The fight could have happened in 1995/96 when Naz had just beaten Steve Robinson and Gatti had beaten Tracy Harris Patterson in FOTY.

    Gatti @ 130 was a very under-rated proposition. Stick him in with De La Hoya or Mayweather at that weight and the outcomes might have been very differnet. Gatti would put on close to 20 pounds after the weigh in. Eventually it caught up with him and he was beaten by Manfreddy.

    Hamed woulfd have struggled massively with Patterson, Rodriguez and Ruelas all of whom were blown away or outboxed by the human highlight real. Pre-Manfreddy Gatti was a lovely box-fighter. Lightweight Gatti was a waste of space but when Mcgirt sorted him out he was back to his best.

    Naz by knockout and early. Gatti would be too slow for Naz and his defence wasn't great.

    That was only ten years and a lot of wars after the suggested fantasy bout, but don't let facts get in the way of your opinion...

    well that fight was a fact, and don't let it get in the way of yours dickhead

    floyd slapped him like a ***** for six rounds - blame what you want but it happened.

    Naz was fast too so there is your comparison, except he hit like a juggernaught more than any of Gatti's other opponents. manfredy knocked him down twice in 1998 - what you gonna blame that on cocksuckas - that was before Ivan Robinson, Micky Ward and De La Hoya.

    Gatti didn't fight the greatest of opposition in 1996, Naz was better - there's your answer.

    Well, I think David Haye murders Ali.

    I mean look at Ali in there against Berbick in 1981.









    Do you see how this works now?

    Ali beat some awesome fighters in the years before Berbick - do you want me to reel off a list? Liston, Paterson, Foreman, Frazier etc? Can you remember that?

    Gatti got beat by Angel Manfredy and Ivan Robinson (twice) before these so called wars which turned him into the jibbering wreck Floyd slapped around (lord only knows how Gatti had the belt going into the fight after all these brutal wars which meant he couldn't box anymore!!).

    And Gatti wasn't one of the best boxers that ever lived before these wars - like Ali. Naz would have KOd him any age from infant to old man in a nursing home arguing over who gets to read the newspaper.

    I like it that you find Gatti's career comparable to Ali's though - has Gatti got Parkinson's yet?? You know that well known disease Ali was fighting with in the last stages of his career?? Comparing Gatti's decline to a Parkinson's sufferer is a little harsh, but he probably appreciates it anyway seeing as you're making him to be somekind of ATG before :lol:

    naz by late TKO i'm not saying it because i'm a ''fan'' i think stylistically gatti is taylored for naz, it would be a war as long as it lasted but gatti would be hit by bombs too often IMHO his corner would have to pull him out
    if some one like ivan robinson beat gatti i'm sure naz had enough in him to also grind a win

    no - Gatti was a world conquering ATG before the wars!! (We're not allowed to mention the Robinson and Manfredy fights...)

    It doesn't matter that he won and defended his 140lb title successfully several times after the Ward trilogy, after De La Hoya, after Robinson and Manfredy - it doesn't matter that the aforementioned years were the most productive of his career...

    in 1996 he would have beat Floyd, he would have beat Naz, he would have beat De La Hoya, he would have beat Baldomir, he would have beaten Hatton, Tszyu, Cotto - all of them...it's not that he's poor at defending himself and has a record of being KO'd by powerful punchers (or even average ones) - he was just never the same after the wars!!

    1996 Gatti beats them all.

    Looks like ESB's new **** has stepped up to he plate. Your knowledge of Gattis career progression is a shambles and as for calling people dickheads.... There's only one dick in this thread and thats clearly you. Dick.

    Gatti would win this one pretty easily.

    Naseem never fought at 130lbs and his peak was lower than 126lbs. Gatti was a huge 130lber and would likely come in at over 140lbs. At that weight, he was a knockout artist with a granite chin and Naseem would not be able to either dent his chin and could be knocked out himself.

    Gatti KO4.

    Thanks for proving my point:good

    The jibbering wreck at WW is not the same Gatti that fought at SFW.

    Now do you see.
