    What Floyd did was no different then what DLH, Manfredy, Gomez, Baldomir did.

    Anyone who voted as insignificant is a hater and can't be taken seriously here. It wasn't his best win but it was far from insignificant. Insignificant would be like PBF's win over Mitchell the Gatti win is way more meaningful than that.:deal

    Did i said he would've won with a different game plan?

    I said it was a stupid game plan and anyone that knows anything about boxing will tell you the same,Gatti's best chance was to go all out and try to land something big to get Floyd out of there ,he would never win a decision against Mayweather so having Gatti trying to box with a boxer was plain stupid and that is clear when you see the fight and Gatti looks like a sitting duck getting hit at will by Mayweather.

    It was very good, Gatti wasn't on Mayweather's level but the way he went about beating him was as close to a schooling as you will get.

    Reminded me of Hamed vs Robinson.

    In the context of Joe Calzaghe's career, that was one of his most accomplished displays, but to say it's an ATG performance would be overstating the ability of Jeff Lacy. In my judgment.

    In the context of Floyd Mayweather's career, his thorough domination of Aturo Gatti is one of his finest hours, but it's not to rank alongside Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera I or Roberto Duran vs Ray Leonard I.

    Or Ivan Robinson twice,hell there were moments during those fights where he made Ivan look like Ray Leonard.

    What is wrong with saying that Pacquiao's win over Hatton was better? Hatton was a better opponent and was dispatched more quickly.

    It was an ATG display of speed, defense, countering and ring generalship not saying his opponent was though. It is second only to his boxing clinic over Chico Corrales which IMO is a true ATG performance.

    Good, Gatti was a threat but was on the slide which we found out in his next fights. a couple years earlier it would of been a very good win.

    It wasn't a load of **** porn addict. I was here and there were threads about the fight and many picked Gatti to win. I wish I could pull those old threads up before the crash and embarrass your ass.:hi:

    That also implies you've come to your senses, realizing that beating Aturo Gatti post Rodriguez, Robinson 1, Robinson 2, Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3, Ruelas, De La Hoya, and Manfredy doesn't constitute as an "ATG" performance.
