    A fresher Gatti makes the fight closer than the fight two years ago. All those rings wars damaged Gatti while Pretty boy was 10 times fresher and no wear and tear. That's just my opinion.

    mayweather could be 40 fighting a 20 yr gatti and the same thing would happen.it was not about prime or old or young, is about the skill level.and pbf was to fast and just to damn good for gatti.back then back now, back n fourth and any other way you want to look at it.

    then fight 100 times pbf would win 110 times.

    The Gatti that showed up against Mayweather was like the Morales that showed up against Pac in the rematch.

    They weren't the same fighters they used to be. Not shot, but well on the way.

    A younger Gatti would have landed some punches on Mayweather but it wouldnt have mattered. He'd still have gone down in the later rounds.

    That said, Gatti looked awful in the mayweather fight. He not only looked shot in my eyes, but looked tentative and out of shape.
