    Both at their best at 130 or 135. Does Gatti have enough firepower to beat a skilled boxer like Casamayor? An all out brawl that would be reminiscent to Casamayor vs Katsidis. The only question would be if Gatti would be able to handle Casamayor’s punches.

    Maybe could look like the Popó Freitas fight ?
    Katsidis dropped Casamayor, didn´t he ??

    I still lean toward Joel even though Gatti is the naturally bigger man. He is just so skilled and defensively sound. I just can't see Gatti beating him especially with how limited Gatti was defensively.

    I don't think Gatti is a match for prime Joel Casamayor. Joel had tendency to fight down to the level of opposition at times, so who knows, but if We're talking about Casamayor from the Castillo, Freitas or 3 Corrales fights - I think it's a total domination and likely a stoppage for the Cuban.

    Casamayor fairly comfortably.

    Casamayor was better and I think he’d pick Gatti apart down the middle with quick accurate shots.
