    Listen to the pure hate. :rofl Half of ESB must have been at the fight. Guido's were pissed that day.

    Good line. This must be before Larry Merchant went senile.

    Yeah, I remember the pure hate people were spewing from the crowd.

    Floyd came out acting like a complete ass, and used the hate to fuel his performance.

    Sad to see Gatti get beat like that, but Floyd was on fire that night.

    Floyd always acts like a total dick and wants to be the villain. Its logical people dislike him.

    This was a great performance for Floyd! Just a clinic in every way. Just like the DLH massacre of Gatti. Definitly one of Floyd's most exciting performances.

    LOL was a great all that hostility!!!

    PBF performance was flawless though, wouldn't mind seeing his back against the wall like that again if he boxed like that!

    It just shows how popular Gatti was.

    That popularity is one of the reasons Mayweather chose to fight him.

    This fight also shows how clueless Mgirt is as a coach.

    Having Gatti try to box with Mayweather has to be one of the dumbest game plans ever.

    That fight shocked me.

    I know Gatti should never have been in the ring with him but FMJ was just amazing, unbelievable that night. I couldnt believe how sharp he was. Just brilliant.

    Floyd will show us that again.....Floyd will do more when he's less threatened. Gatti....was tailor made for Floyd and he was able to take risk knowing his opponent had little chance to catch Floyd with anything meaninful. You saw how he performed with guys on the "Gatti Level" like N'dou, Sosa and Mitchell. Floyd fights more reserved when he's respectful of his opponents abilities.

    LAWL never noticed this before

    Look how scared Gatti is when the fire comes up behind him at 5:25. Like nobody on his team told him there was gonna be a big explosion just 5 feet away from him lol.

    Gatti plays it off well though.

    I liked the campy gladiator outfit against Baldomir(I think it was). Looked almost cartoonish.

    Almost as one sided too on the outcome too. Well, not really, but still another very lopsided victory.

    Against who? Floyd performed like magic against Corrales too and considering how much he outweighed Floyd and he was considered a big puncher I thought that he was uncautious against him
