Looking back i'd go alot further and question the intelligence/knowledge of the majority of people on this board. 44% of people predicted a Gatti KO!!!! Have these people seen either fighter fight?! You may accuse me of talking after the fact but I never even had an inkling that this fight could ever be anything other that the boxing lesson it was. I think they stopped the fight out of embarrassment for Gatti. Gatti is good value against average fighters where he can look good. At least he saw sense, backed off, and waited for a shock champion like Baldomir to come along and give him ANOTHER chance at a world title. Frank Bruno style. He'll probably lose that as well. Fingers crossed.

the same 44% that are saying margarito is "the most feared man in boxing"

but you are absolutely right about there being a very large number of people who dont know a whole lot about boxing

also, this is a perfect example of the floyd haters saying that pbf never fights anybody good, cuz before the fight they always think mayweather is going to lose. then when floyd wrecks them, those same people wait a while and go back to saying that floyd only fights bums

cc for you

Yes I was wrong. But at least some of us had the balls to post our oppinions befor the fight. I guess the 16.7% are genius's. Or at least boxing experts. I thought that Gatti would fight a better or at least a smarter fight than he did.

doesnt take an expert to pick a fight like that
all you gotta do is watch floyd fight a few times, then your eyes will be opened to the truth
