    Why is Arturo Gatti never mentioned when the "great"/notable wins (like De La Hoya, Castillo and Judah) of Mayweather are summoned???

    Gatti was never a great fighter. The version Mayweather beat could have been beaten by a talent show entrant.

    In fact, he was.

    Because Gatti was way past shot by the time Bedwetter fought him.

    Gatti was never that good, he was popular because of the great heart he showed in the ring.

    Gatti was a great fighter to watch people sometimes get this confuzed with him being a great fighter. He was no where near as good as Oscar, Zab or Castillo

    because he was nothing more than a punchbag for A and B class fighters.

    We all do, it was a great series of fights. Does not mean that he was a great win for Floyd.
