Nice vid....though terrible technique. Much like Gatti going in there and just hitting, rather than showing any defensive inclinations at all. Probably agree with the sentiment, but perhaps Gatti should not look to go out and fight the hardest, toughest fighters on the circuit anymore though. He's taken years of punishment, and could probably dominate in continental competitions, do a RJJ ad go for an Americas' title, but I'm not sure he's got it in him to fight and win at the very top level. The heart's there, but will the body follow through all the punishment?

that guy sucked at boxing. but he's right, i dont think gatti should retire yet

That was Sylvester Stallone in that video.
Gatti should not retire and Sly should make Rocky 7 thru 10.

He has become the human punching bag.

Yea, that's me boxing... I have no idea what I'm doing... just trying to emulate Gatti...

Now that Gatti is retiring, who will be the "most exciting boxer" to watch?

I'm gonna need a few new boxers to root for... and James Toney's win's are all being called losses, decisions, or "we'll I used that drug for my bad shoulder".

So who's the best boxer now? Hatton, Pretty Boy?

CC for whacking up a video of yourself there mate, takes guts, and you were emulating Gatti with your square on fighting

Do you personally think that he'll have a few more fights? There's no doubt that he's exciting to watch, but I certainly think that this kind of fighter won't be coming from the states. KEvin Mitchell's a really exciting fighter to watch, and he is open to get caught, so I'd throw his hat into the ring if his career comes on as it should.

toneytoneytoney. I did not know that was you Nice job.
Have a Cool Click on me and welcome to the forum.

We can not tell you who to root for. That will have to be left up to you.

But whatever you do..

Do not root for PBF.

We are practicing Santeria on his azz.

You can never forgive him for beating Gatti, can you?

[toneytoneytoney]

I think he should drop back down to light welterweight and go for the IBA title.

Exactly how do you qualify for a title match... do they all work the same with qualifying rules ( i.e. WBC/IBA/IBF/WBO, etc.)?

This picture of pretty boy is hilarious... got any more?

You know, if you listen to him talk it appears as if he is ducking hard hitters... why is this? I'll tell you... he is ducking them... he is smart, he wants to extend his career... why have 5 career ending money fights when you can have 20 to 30 more career sustaining money fights? Pretty Boy Floyd should be called Clever Boy Floyd. Look for him to be playing it safe for a long time... and winning. My opinion though... he is taking Baldomir too lightly and will lose.... just my opinion though.

Well, you definitely got a pretty nice setup for the home gym....

I like Gatti too, but I don't want to see him get hurt. Even when he's winning, he's getting hurt (hand) and he looked to be in a couple of tough spots against Daamgard. I would rather watch highlight video's of his old stuff then see him get beat down.

He does a great job of being Baldomir but the punching bag deserves an oscar for its portrayal of Gatti.
