    Sure, don't think a warning should be called for after the very first mistake unless you're that much heart broken, a warning should be logical.

    Then again, what happened in rounds 2/3/4/5/6?, sometimes I think it happened to you.

    Clottey wasn't even considered to no one at the time and was still rising.

    Mosley was offered to fight Mayweather TWICE but turned them down and publicly to clear the way for DLH, you must be living in a cave if you don't know that already.

    Any other serious challengers?

    The referee saying stop punching is what made it bull****, otherwise protecting yourself at all times is a rule, though Gatti doesn't approve of. :lol:

    Yep your right the only guy that considered Clottey was a guy named Margarito,which is cuz Clottey is a very underrated fighter.Corrales was another guy that fougt Clottey but all these guys have something called courage.How about Shane's public ''Floyd is growing feathers interview'',how about the Floyd vs Hatton post fight presser when he called him out.The ducker did what everyducker does sooner or later,he quits

    Stopping GattI or even dropping him at that stage in Gatti's career is no real accomplishment. It's GATTI! :lol:

    He didn't actually stop him,nor the ref or the doctor or Larry Hazzard,Buddy McGirt stopped but Arturo wanted to go another round,remember Buddy wanted to stop it before the 10th with Ward

    Exactly right. I don't understand how Mayweather keeps being defended time and time again when he refused to fight the best at 147.

    Don't think it's a case of ducking Shane there, Shane's credibility was hit really hard for losing to Cotto and Mayweather already said before that fight that he wants to retire and focus on other things. Also, if there was an army of Welterweights that could be considered at the time when Floyd first made 147 then sure I'll agree with you easily but it's only Margarito and it was looked at as was the hype surrounding Harris with no real accomplishments behind either fighter to seriously consider.

    its not just 147. he fought one good fighter at 135 that scared the living **** out of him because he knows he lost. then he fought nothing but bums the rest of his time at 135 and nothing but bums at 140. his resume is the most overrated in the history of the eastside boxing.
