    What if Gatti had fought Emanuel Augustus in '02 instead of Terronn Millett at 140 lbs? who would have won?

    If Augustus couldn't beat Ward, he wasn't going to beat Gatti. Gatti by decision.

    but gatti doesnt fight like ward does. ward kept pressure on augustus and wore him down, but many thought that it was a draw or even that emanuel won. i dont think gatti is quite as durable as ward but i do think that he would eventually lure manny into a slugfest which augustus does anyway and would win a close UD.

    Augustus is a match-up nightmare for Gatti

    Ward to the body (although Gatti was a good bodypuncher), Gatti upstairs.

    Anyway, Gatti probably beats Augustus, although I wouldn't use the Ward-Augustus fight as a real measure since Gatti and Ward fight differently. Ward usually likes to get up close and apply pressure. Gatti often likes to try to box and use lateral movement and throw combos, then he gets tagged and forgets about boxing, and starts trading. But Gatti likes more distance when he brawls to unlaunch his shots.
