That's true. People forget that Gatti was very highly ranked at the time.

In the Ring's 2004 end of year rankings (just before Gatti/Mayweather), they had Gatti ranked #1 at 140 (behind only Tszyu, the undisputed champ of the divison). Floyd was ranked #3. So it's not like Floyd was picking on some unranked bum.
