Uncle Roger has the better skills with a monster right hand, and has also very long arms, but is chinny. Gatti had fairly fast hands and legs, and actually decent skills, but would forget about them once he got hit hard. He could take a better shot than Mayweather, as his chin/punch resistance would get stronger once he initially got hurt. It was like a stretching, warm-up exercise for him to get stunned or dropped early on, then he could just take a shitload of punishment after that. Does the result change much @ 140?
I think Roger was an amazing fighter. Roger was a 3x world champ with absolutely no chin at all. Man but he could throw! Plus it's very rare to find a guy who was sucessful with so many tough bouts early in his career.
Roger hits Gatti with everything but the kitchen sink and builds up an early lead. Gatti, however, refuses to go away and scores a late KO on the talented but chin-challenged elder Mayweather.
I clicked Mayweather thinking PBF. Moral of the story: read before you vote. I think my guy Gatti takes a late TKO over uncle Roger. He better, though, because he will be behind on points.
I just see Roger TKOing this guy in the middle rounds. The (original) Black Mamba / Mexican assasin would come out and handle this business. I would take Roger in a middle rounds TKO! Too much jabaility upside Arturo's head. But than again if Roger was running out of gas in the late rounds, Uh Oh???!!!???
