This was a great exhibition of boxing skill. It was the first fight were I really got to have a good look at Mayweather... Never really knew too much about him before this fight.

At first I thought he didn't, but after watching it a few times, the ref definatley called break and then Floyd popped one off. Then while Gatti was complaining to the ref about it, Floyd smashed him down! You can't argue with it, "defend yourself at all times" and all that. But it's not very sporting.
Fore arm to elbow is quite close, either way he does end up striking with parts of his arm other than gloves at times.
Floyd was punch perfect in that fight, Gatti never even got close.
i never heard the break, ill have to watch it again
thing is tho gatti was on the slide before that, then he had the fights with ward and it kind of put him back in the mix
they were fantastic fights and ward was great to watch but he wasnt exactly top of the tree
it was a cracking performance by floyd but not against someone who would exactly give him a test
b hop uses his whole body, bradley his head, ward mauls, margarito loads his hands, hell torres had people throwing full beer cans at holt, the sport in general is shady so on and so forth. Just like people here can watch floyd and see what he does so should his opponets. You know what all these guys are going to do before you get in there with them. So to go in there still let it happen and then cry about it after is just silly. Boxrec just shows who won........it doesn't matter how.

I watched that as well and it was a beautiful performance against a B class fighter, so why he cried like a girl after he won and made out he beat a legend like Tszyu is beyond me.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
This had butcher shop written all over it going in. Think HBO was just salivating getting a franchise name like Gatti to meet him in his big breakout debut. Always baffled me how Floyd berated and lessened "club" Gatti going in and then did his best Sally Fields winning an Oscar afterwords. Can't have it both ways.
