hey there I'm from Georgia in the US!

is theyre meny other us guys here?

my favorite fighter is evander hollyfield, i got to meet him once at a charity basketball game back in 1999 before my accident which has left me in a motorized wheel chair

my other favorite fighter is gatti, i think his heart and courage will allow him to beat mayweather in a rematch

holla at me!

Hi - welcome to the forum.

I thiink there are a few Americans here - there are all sorts, to be fair. Wait until you meet Lyle (!)

Nice one to have met Evander Holyfield - what was he like? I think he's from Atlanta, isn't he? I know he used to work at Atlanta airport, pumping gas before he made it in the pros.

Welcome to the board.

Have a coolclick.

And I'm also a massive fan of Gatti.. but I don't think he has a chance against Mayweather. We may see in the future though, who knows.

**Slick Shawn** · 04-16-2006 10:45 PM

he was really polite got a photo with him and an autograph my pops noticed him slurring a little even back then i was too excited to notice i really admire his passion and drive it sorta gives me energy ya know

once gatti smashes baldimor we will see i think he is too strong for mayweather at 147

Yeah - can't think of many people, never mind just boxers, with Evanders drive.

It is sad that his drive is what will not let him retire gracefully now. That could end up getting him in a lot more trouble!!!

Well...I'll give you credit for being a diehard fan but...Gatti just isn't up to beating Mayweather. He's up to beating Baldomir though.

for joining.

Hye bro,Cool click and welcome to the best boxing site in the world Trademarked. You'll meet people from everywhere here,Americans,Brits,Europeans,Pinoys,even someone from South Korea,South Americans,anyone I've forgotten?
As for your statement,Gatti would be sent into restirement if he were to fight Lil Floyd again

and thats IF he gets past Baldomir who is no bum!

**Slick Shawn** · 04-16-2006 10:54 PM

Welcome (CC) Slick,
I'm in FL and I dig gutsy fighters too. Gutsy only gets one so far though
(This was evidenced by my boy Jeff Lacy getting pummeled recently) .
Gatti's been in as many wars as any fighter out there and I don't think he's got enough left to get past Baldomir. Win, lose or draw I'd like to see Gatti have 1 or 2
"farewell" fights at home against guys he can handle and get out with his health still intact.

**The_One77** · 04-17-2006 12:22 AM

Gatti dosen't have a chance even against an old De La Hoya, he put up a pretty good fight in their first encounter but ODH's too big and strong for him.
