    thought this would be two or 3 pages long considering the popularity of both

    I think Hamed is a bad style matchup for 98 Gatti.

    Hamed by late stoppage.

    Hamed would blow him away.

    Hamed would have been too quick for Gatti. I think he would of won with a comfortable UD. I dont think he would have knocked gatti out though.

    In 1998, Gatti moved to lightweight, where he lost 3 straight fights.

    It would have to be @ 130. Gatti was having hell making 130, but he was a much bigger guy. Provided he's not way too weak from making weight, I'd say he knocks the Little Prince out.
