JMM v Diaz... Mayweather v Gatti

Gatti was a shot B level fighter who got an opportunity because he beat another old shot fighter who got that opportunity for beating Panchito Bojado. Anyone who knew Panchito Bojado knows that he had all the skill in the world, true skill, but lacked heart, no heart.

 

Diaz > Gatti

Nuff said :smoke

As far as the 8 punch combo... Oscar De La Hoya has a similar display against Yori Boy Campas, and it also includes a 15 punch combo, yet I would never use it to prove how great of a fight of masterclass it was, because, well, you know, it's an old fighter who had zero chance, similar to the old shot fighter in Gatti that Mayweather fought.

 

Diaz wasnt unbeaten , how many times do we have to say it before it enters your pea sized brain??? Nate Campbell had already beat his ass.

 

This has to be a joke ,

,auweather beating Gatti shouldn't even be worth talking about considering so many people beat up on him already ..Like someone said before Delahoya beats Gatti it's a throw away fight Floyd beats him it's one of his best performances



And JMM vs Diaz Diaz was never elite he just had a few good wins why anyone would try to elevate this more than it was is beyond me

 

Not sure anyone is attempting to elevate Diaz more tha he should be, but lets look at his resume:

JUAN DIAZ
10 succesful Title fights
3 time world champion
Unified LW champion

Dominant Wins over:

Acelino Freitas
Julio Diaz
Jose Miguel Cotto


All this while being a chubby Lightweight and a full time student.

Elite at his weight and at the time IMO. He was the man at LW until JMM decided to move up and reap havoc.

ARTURO GATTI
7 Succesful Title fights
2 time world champion (second time was a farce)

6 losses, KTFO twice, and pretty much shot by the time Mayweather fought him.

 

Goes to show how weak Floyd's resume is. When his fans talk about victories over shot B level fighters.

 

Diaz was NOT unbeaten. Why can't guys check their facts before coming up with threads? It's not hard to look things up on Wiki or box rec.

 

This is when I started becoming a huge fan of Marquez'.

Those fights he had with the Baby bull and Kastidis at LW were some of the greatest fights I've seen from him. They were such classic wars.

Floyd's fight against Gatti was a masterpiece. It was a one sided demolition against a guy who didn't deserve to share the ring with him. Marquez' fights were wars that had a good ebb and flow to them.

 

I respect Diaz for what he did no question but he was never on Marquez level that's why I didn't hold that win in such high regard ..

Floyd beating Gatti was nothing special ,Gatti was also never on Floyd's league or many boxers for that matter ..
