I don't blame him. He's trying to make money out of everyone wanting to see him get his ass kicked, and people thoroughly enjoying the ass wooping that is put on Mayorga from elite boxers.
I disagree. Was Gatti ever the real champion of the world? Did he KO Andrew "six Heads" Lewis and Vernon Forrest? No. He has been a "titlist" and had good wins over top 10, not even top 5, competition. Both are very exciting fighters, and both have huge hearts, but that is about where the comparisons end. Mayorga is not trying to become a boxer, like Gatti. He doesn't go down nearly as easily as Gatti, and he has been a true World Champion. Believe me when I say Oscar is in for one hell of a fight.
