    Top one should be gatti-KO/TKO not points (on poll)
    This would be a sure bet to be a fight of the year contender.
    Both have huge hearts and good chins although gatti proved his heart in more fights, in my opinion Gatti has the boxing skill and speed advantage but not the same power as maidana

    They will most likley have a war and I have to pick Maidana by KO/TKO 10, gatti's defence isnt good enough to help him avoid most of maidana's clean punches like morales did.

    Where the **** is the gatti by KO choice:lol: Gatti by KTFO. Dude is a power puncher and have a good chin. This would be a slugfest for sure and maidana would not last.

    I think too many people are forgetting maidana was knockdown by ortiz. Gatti is a big puncher himself and have no QUIT in him:deal

    Gatti took punishment like a mother****er and I'll even say more skilled than Maidana, but if these two fight it won;t be a boxing match. Maidana those the much bigger puncher and has just the same amount of heart as Gatti would eventually win.

    Morales dealt with Morales, so could Gatti. With McGirt, Gatti looks like Ray Leonard in there.

    Gatti was a pretty good boxer when he wanted to be, very decent hand speed, and a VICIOUS body puncher, and would either drop or KO Maidana with a bodyshot, or would box his head off, Morales style (not saying that Gatti was a better boxer than Morales by an means) except with more hand speed, and could hurt Maidana with his power :deal

    If Khans punch didn't KO Maidana then Gatti's punch would never KO Maidana. I think that Maidana being KO'd shouldn't even be in question.

    And in no way should Gatti never be said to "box his head off".

    Get off Gatti's dick dude. Gatti gives Maidana a good fight maybe winning by SD...that tops.

    Maidana's the bigger man, but this one could go either way. Theyr'e both pretty wild; anything could happen.

    Maidana has a much better chance of getting the stoppage, but if it goes the distance it's probably Gatti.

    I favour Maidana.

    If Khan didnt KO Maidana, Gatti wouldn't? Are u really saying that Amir Khan has more power than Arturo Gatti? Are you really implying that???

    I actually think this would have been a very winnable fight for Gatti.

    Maidana will be there to be hit against Gatti, and will be hurt by him as well..... Both will be banging away at eachother in a badass bloodfest Im sure.

    Honestly, in this matchup Im just not quite sure who I think would come out the winner. I suppose if I had to favor someone, it would be Maidana.... but Gatti would be as live as it gets in there and I think he would have a real shot at beating him.

    I'm saying Khan's body punch was probably one of the brutal body punches in the last several years and if Maidana could give him from that then he'll get up from Gatti's punch. And yes...I doubt Gatti could throw a more perfect punch than that one.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: So Khan has more power than Gatti?????
    and yes, Gatti has boxed people's heads off before, watch a little more of his fights except the Ward trilogy, and you're acting like it takes Sugar Ray ****ing Leonard to outbox Maidana, so yea get off Maidana's dick ***** :good
