    "He don't need no strategy to fight Gatti,"... "Close your eyes and throw your hands, and you'll hit him in the ****ing face."

    "Man, man, man, man. Gatti ain't ****! Gatti from the beginning, he's ain't never been ****! Don't get me wrong. He's a good club level fighter, but he just that."

    - Roger Mayweather the ultimate *****

    That's a lovely post Drew, but May sucker punched Gatti into ***** street when Gatti complained to the ref and the fight was over from there onward.

    The crying in the ring afterwards was nauseating.

    Loads of people on ESB thought Gatti was going to win by KO, they thought he was going to wear Floyd down and KO him late. I think it was around 30% in polls. Most other people thought Mayweather would win a negative UD and wouldn't stop Gatti

    Same could be said more or less with Pac-Diaz.

    I was rooting for Gatti during that fight. And ESB had quite a few people saying Gatti would KO Mayweather.

    And yet Gatti made Roger look like a freakin' genius. Close eyes and throw your hands? That turned out to be the most accurate prefight statement to have ever been made.

    Don't hate the playa, hate the game!    :good

    I'm no hater of gatti but his style is taylor-made for mayweather.
    He's very slow, he's open for huge punches and he's very easy to get hit.
    I respect his bravery and I like exciting fighters but I think
    he's skillwise overrated because of his ability to make good fights.

    There are only few fights that gatti is not bloodied.

    He is like the bigger version of Arce.
    Fun to watch but he eats punches like there is no tomorrow.

    Because he and Gatti went toe to toe and had a war.

    Mayweather picked Gatti apart like he does with everyone else. Once Gatti slowed, Mayweather was landing shots at will.

    Revisionist history is a common theme when it comes to Mayweather fights. Good post Drew101.

    I also tried to offer a bet that fight but nobody bet with me.
    I even offered a 1:6 max ratio of bet but nobody still accepted.
    They would bet on the otherwise though.
