When you watch the Gatti-Ward fights and see them absolutely killing each other and then watch this fight and you can see how great Mayweather really was. His speed is unmatched.
EXACTLY!!!!
Facts
Mayweather is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. Nobody can nor would be able to imitate his style and his ring generalship, not even the likes of technicians such as Lomachenko. One of the best to step in the ring.
Levels
@@christianjocson5509 correct!!
Floyd avoids talking about this fight and his fight with Chico Corrales out of respect for their memories. He may have been a monster in the ring, but he definitely had respect for his opponents.
He paid for both of their funerals. And Hernandez. And he offered to pay for Frazier's. Don't know if they accepted tho. A couple more boxers he did too. Can't think of their names.
The media has a way of painting a picture. Floyd is for sure a class act in my opinion
I’m here watching because he talked about it. How he worked Gatti just like he did the pads. For real...
@@gregorfurtenbach6893 me too 😅
@@joebidens_touchyhands9477 Didn’t he pay for George Floyd’s funeral too.
Pretty Boy Floyd was a savage. speed , defense and agility unmatched. this is what the haters call running.
Exactly
Too bad he couldn't do logan like that
Anyone who calls Floyd a runner doesn't know shit about boxing and never competed in their life. They don't understand what Boxing is. They think it's just punching. Neglected, timing, Ring Generalship, Defense. They think 2 guys should just stand there trading shots and getting CTE for their entertainment.
@@contempris2383 that's what Mike Tyson did. Dont sit here and lie and act like Mayweather was fun to watch. Even his kids said his fights are boring. Stop it
@Jordan Sharpe only as s featherweight against non notable opponents
Mayweather focus mitts drills brought me back here because he said everything he does on those mitts he’s done in a fight and other fighters haven’t. He said go back and look at this fight as proof…💯
Just seen the vid. 😂🥊
This performance from Mayweather was excellent. He absolutely ripped Gatti to pieces.

Canelo was even more humiliated
School was in session.
@@prestobungwa5784 That too was a masterclass. Add Pacquiao(you heard that right, haters and Pactards, Mayweather schooled Pacquiao so badly he had to fake an anjury) Cotto (although Cotto had some successes and made Mayweather’s nose bleed), and Corrales(his most dominant performance by far).
@@prestobungwa5784 Oh and also the Mexican technician, Juan Manuel Marquez. Made him look amateurish despite being one of the brainiest and technical fighters during that time.
The Crawford vs Spence fight reminded me of this fight. Complete domination
So fuckin fr never thought I'd see this comment thank u crawford floyd woulda been amazing
@@lilmari9607indeed Crawford reminds me very much of a young Floyd mayweather
@@lilmari9607I don’t think it will be close
Floyd would have shut Crawford down… I’m sorry the skill level isn’t even close prime for prime.
@@lad-bo9llhe would never beat Floyd
That shot Gatti took to the kidney very few men can withstand...you see him take a deep breath in order to stay on his feet...R.I.P....you went toe to toe with one of the greatest boxers to grace the boxing ring.
That was not toe to toe. Gatti was too slow and got slaughtered
RIPOWER GATTI TRUE WARRIOR HE HAD THE HEART OF A TIGER
It wasn’t toe to toe bro. He was slaughtered. Beaten. Destroyed. Obliterated. Vanquished.
He did what he could but Floyd dominated, he tried to analyze and find opening for a big hit but Floyd was too fast and made him pay for every time he threw a shot💯
@@boxingfan708and made him hesitant
I can watch this version of Mayweather all day , an absolute Master
pretty boy floyd threw a triple right straight down the middle, that shit was like a torpedo..decapitated, corrales, n'dou, and smashed gatti with it..
20:24 Floyd sets a trap for Gatti to counter his lazy jab so he could counter Gatti’s counter, he tests it first then does it again for the vicious 2 piece counter, Floyd was simply a maestro & his ring IQ is unrivaled #TBE
Oh shit that's true , the more you knowledge you have about fighting the more you can see ..all I saw was a slow jab and fast counters after untill I read your comment
@@king_koby9591 Yeah bro, I’ve seen Floyd utilize so many tactics like this in the ring, Floyd had the highest ring iq & its really under appreciated
It's why I love watching his fights. In a 3 minute round, this guy uses so many tricks and techniques. The average eye doesn't see the traps that he sets for now and later. The adjustments he makes mid round, the traps, he is ALWAYS thinking in that ring. That's why people couldn't beat him.
@@dawg9 YESSIR!!! I also can appreciate when Floyd bullshit his way through a round with the jab, feints, tying up, etc… Berto explained how Floyd did it to him & I find it extremely impressive that he could treat the sport like a 9 to 5 at times, it’s crazy cause was almost 40 but still so sharp because of his focus round in round out to take as little punishment as possible
Probably one of the greatest counters of that decade. Mayweather is The Greatest of All Time!!!
How Gatti was still standing was unbelievable. He might not be human.
he quit in his corner..punishment was too severe pretty boy floyd was literally an animal in the ring...
@@jackdempsey9644 Boring AF for a bum like you that's never boxed a day in your life. This fight was savage and he was fighting a savaged. Totally outclassed him

Of all the boxing videos I re-watch, this is the one I watch the most. An absolute masterclass, even more so than his Canelo win. Faultless.
He was just on a different level, to be honest it was almost unfair, his speed and skills were just far more advanced
Watch how he destroyed Corrales.
@@frankthetank1779 Yea that fight was brutal, it was knock down after knock down despite Floyd being the smaller guy he absolutely fucked Diego up
@Jordan Sharpe Wait what? I’m so confused, are you in the right comments thread 🤨 I nor anyone els on this thread said anything about his age Are you ok buddy?
that wasnt a masterclass, that was a brutal bloodbath...floyd at his most meanest,
so y'all saying,canelo was better at the age or 28 compared to floyd at 28.get real there's no comparison
Floyd gayweather was never undisputed champ tho 😂😂
2 different fighters and style of fighters. Floyd didn’t become a casual household name until he was 30. Canelo on the other hand since he was 23.

@@coolspike7659 old man floyd beat Canelo easily
@@coolspike7659 blame baldomir for that lmao he had all the belts when them fought and Floyd beat him but couldn’t receive the belts to be undisputed because baldomir didn’t pay the sanction fees boxing is so corrupt 😂😂
This is what people call running. Even if floyd out lands the other guy he still doesnt get the props he deserves
Sad but true
Right
People that say floyd is running is the people they wants to see him stand and slug. He's just to technical. Why fight a fighter where he's strong. Fight him where he's weak a fighter wants you to stang and trade punches do the opposite. And floyd was just a master at changing technique for different fighters
Most boxing fans (and sports fans in general) are the lowest common denominator, beer-swilling-blue-collar-mouth-breathers. And I mean every word of that. They don't know what they are watching, from the military-precision of an NFL play unfolding, to a boxing technical genius like Floyd. That's why sports are marketed to them in particular, because it's easy to get their attention, their emotions, and their money. The average fans often associate defensive brilliance with "getting on the bicycle and running away" when it isn't. Floyd sets traps, counter-punches, but also has good lead offense. As his right hand broke down later in his career, he had to change some things, but it didn't stop him from being the best in the business.

@rickphilly1975 ahh yes that was against Castillo?
One of the top 4 beatings in boxing history because Gatti never quit but landed like 10 punches. brutal stuff. he beat the soul out of one of the toughest fighters.
What are the other 3 top beatings?
Bro he illegally hits him at 3:30 at the beginning of the fight hurting him badly - that shiz was dirty. You can hear the ref say Break Don't punch and then Mayweather punches him and then punches him again. Dirty

Wow. I love watching this over and over and only realized now, the conditioning of both athletes was insane! Yes Gatti was outmatched, but his conditioning like Floyd’s was amazing. He looked lost, never tired.
I literally have tears in my eyes! Floyd adjustment, athleticism, skills is truly one of a kind. The way he broke down and cried at the end was the real heart and passion. Soo glad we got to see him in this lifetime!!!!
It seems rather difficult for some of the commentators to give Mayweather the respect he deserves, judge him in his profession while fighting , kudos to you Floyd, they can't stop you 🏆🏆🏆🏆👍😋

Not cool to say that about the dead
@@maddawg7134 the truth hurts, he's not gonna lie and say it was a close fight just because gatti unfortunately passed away
@@maddawg7134 I have the up most respect for Gatti he was a warrior but I actually forgot that he passed away but that still doesn't take away what Floyd did that night was special
I said the exact same thing.What an ass whipping!!
16:00 That block then 2 duck maneuver by Gatti was his best move in the whole fight.
That shit was clean tho lol. RIP Gatti
I think this is arguably the greatest performance anyone has ever given in a professional boxing match. I'm not even a fan of the guy but Floyd is the GOAT, it's undeniable. The game of boxing is hit your man and make him miss, nobody was better than Floyd at that, and I don't think anyone really comes close.
Sugar Ray Robinson in the 1940s was untouchable at welterweight, no one could stop his offense or hit him much, but sadly his fights were never filmed this early on or haven't survived. Only a 29-40 year old Robinson from like 1951 onward exists on film and he was STILL kicking arse in his mid to late 30s. On film perhaps a 1964-1967 Ali or a 1985-1988 Tyson matches Floyd's "hit/ not get hit" talent combination. Floyd defensively is the best no doubt. Tyson's KO leverage was scary insane, but Ali was a 210 pound Sugar Ray Robinson who would jab you to complete death while dancing around like a bunny. That;s why Ali is number one. Both were heavyweights as well so they get more shine than Floyd.
@@fredericopinto2943 not sure how you can put Ali above Floyd. Ali is absolutely an all time great but he was defeated, multiple times. He took bad punishment especially towards the end of his career
@@bim69 Ali from 1964-1967 I put up against any heavyweight that ever lived. He would've held the title until at least 1975-76 had the government not banned him from boxing. Louis, Tyson, Foreman. They all would lose to that Ali. Ali would dance for 15 rounds and just nail you constantly with that insane long jab. Any fighter would have closed eyes by the 10th round. Floyd isn't even the best Welterweight that ever lived, We all know that was Sugar Ray Robinson. I'm not saying it wouldn't be close, but Sugar Ray is the number 1 P4P fighter of all time for a reason. I put Floyd 3rd behind Sugar Ray and Ali on that list. The losses Ali suffered was after he lost that speed and he still had the chin and skill to beat Foreman at 33 years old. Floyd didn't have a KO in his last 11 fights except against a UFC fighter and that cheap shot vs Ortiz. Look it up. I think Floyd's lack of KO power for the last 13 years of his career just can't put him above my top 2. Floyd really peaked after the Gatti fight. If he retires right there the argument might be different. Maybe. Floyd had too many decisions late in his career when he coasted on his amazing defense not putting himself at risk all offensively to protect his perfect record. Rocky Marciano went 49-0 and was KOing everyone he faced even in his last fight vs Archie Moore. Now that;s a perfect record. Just sayn.
@@bim69 well Mayweather has less damage boxer in the history of boxing that's why he retired healthy and he's undefeated and unlike Ali who's got knockout and hurt and damage several times and because of that he end up having parkinson's
he took this fight cuz he knew was easy, gatti is a slugger not a finess boxer, like half of his fights, were hand picked

Truth
Facts
Period, point blank.
Facts, i respect Ali, Tyson but Floyd far exceeded and with his money too, floyd is an Epitome of Boxing hit and not get hit
100% Facts
Every time I rewatch Mayweather's fights I'm more impressed with his genius (I was already sold on Hernandez and Corrales). Mayweather stated before the fight that he was an A+ fighter and he was going to make Gatti look like a C+ fighter. Job done.
Rest in peace Arturo Gatti he had no business in the ring with Floyd Mayweather he was completely outboxed outclassed
I beg to differ. Boxing is a business. Gatti didn't know what he was up against until he was against IT. That's the true test. He braved the challenge. He lost. Can't win them all. Floyd in his career just knew when to stop. You bet if he stayed he would have gotten tapped.
@@larryboone5865 yep lool at roy jones...smh
An almost perfect offensive display that's kind of hard to watch. Gatti took 15 rounds of punishment in 6. This could have been stopped after 4 imo.
PERIOD... GROSS NEGLEGENCE
The damage Mayweather levied for missed shots was so great that Gatti was paralyzed and thought better of punching at points: incredible.
Right. It was like every slight mistake was met with 5 hard clean shots.
No doubt if u a fight fan or a boxing either way the style u prefer that was easy to watch
19:24 that sequence left hook & straight rights was brutal
Ppl hate Floyd so much but he paid for Gattis funeral and a few other boxing greats. Something he DIDNT HAVE TO DO
This was Mayweathers prime. His reflexes were at there best. His hands were still pretty good. allowing him to punch without hesitation. Speed and legs were in top form. Corner was free of melodrama. Gatii was finished at this point and should have taken his money and retired after this fight. The last 3 fights after this ended in KO and probably led to CTE and other problems ending his life too early.

Imagine having to decide in split seconds. Dude mixed up his punches really well at lightning speed
That combo with the change of angle was a thing of beauty @9:57
then the ref says to Floyd NICE! LOL
This is one of the most brutal lopsided beatdowns I've ever seen in my life. The only fight that comes to mind that could compete with this is the fight between Roy Jones and Richard Hall. Both absolutely brutal. No idea how Roy didn't kill Hall.

watch more boxing, aint no way he was the most complete fighter. Most defensive fighter then you have an argument there.
@@Daniel-yj1fb You should watch and learn more about boxing. That's the opinion of Teddy Atlas, Bob Arum, Joe Rogan, and myself, cause apparently I know much more than you do . These guys know more than you, by far. Lomachenko has a very good balance of both, offensive and defensive. He takes risks, and doesn't run as Floyd like a headless chicken. You are probably an African American. African Americans, can't stand a white boxer to be better, but guess what, it is happening in all the divisions. Watch more boxing, and you'll learn. Mexicans, and white guys( including Russians) are reigning, in all the divisions. Think well, before you make a comment. This is the last thing I will tell you, and then I will block you. I like to communicate with people that understand boxing. You don't.

Whenever somebody says that Mayweather ran, just show him this fight, plus also his fights against Cotto, Corrales, and Canelo.
Happy black history month guys I'm so proud of all our black fighters past present and future. ✊🏿 👊🏿
Lol black people made up a whole month for their own race. Nice

5 punch combo in like 1 second and change...🙄 When people say he's always been a runner. Just because he has even better defense doesn't diminish that. He's offensive as you'll let him be. But you're not touching him regardless.
That 5pc in the 4th round was a thing of beauty. His defense, especially that slip and counter was unmatched.
The difference between Crawford and Floyd is: People knew Floyd fought names but they just wanted to see him lose. Whereas crawford he was fighting nobodies(except a damaged spence) and we knew he was gonna win.
im here after mayweather said in a clip about pad wrk "watch the gotti fight. everything in that fight i did on pads"😭 and he was fr
By far Floyd’s best performance and one of the most dominant performances in boxing history. Brilliant foot work, extremely fast hands and quick reflexes. Gatti was a human punching bag just like Floyd predicted he would be pre-fight.
Floyd's best performance was against Corrales but this is a damn close second.
No watch Floyd vs Alvarez
@@callakracker The difference is that Gatti was no longer in his prime when he fought Floyd. But it wouldn't have mattered. Floyd would have torn apart a prime Gatti just as easily. But both Corrales and Floyd were in their primes when they fought. Corrales was undefeated; he was a world champion, and he was considered one of the pound-for-pound the best in the world.
Mayweather is so fast and accurate he doesn't even need the jab! 😱
This Floyd would have absolutely squashed Manny the same exact way. One of the best performances of all time. Just like the night that Mike Tyson demolished Larry Holmes in the name of Ali, you were not going to beat Floyd Mayweather on this night. No one in history would have.
Great job with putting an enhanced version!!! Looks great!
So u deleted the original video just to post it again
What a masterpiece! 👏🥊
Round 6 was actual manslaughter. Floyd was a mad scientist 😂.
He really beat the shit out this man
Floyd Mayweather hands are so fast no one sees his punches coming and Mayweather is hard to hit
Love Buddy McGirt in this. He prolonged Gatti's career but boxing Floyd was never gonna be successful. However, he let Gatti go out for the 6th then called it off himself for worry of Gatti's health. Good trainer.
One of the greatest boxing performances I ever seen in my entire life past and present day boxing nothing matches this he literally showed exactly what boxing is every aspect from Jabs to slipping fainting and then power to top it off Changing levels and all greatest boxers ever
This reminds me of Crawford vs Spence…..beautiful ass whooping
Floyd cried like that because he could believe how easily he beat Gatti. It was such an unbelievable performance Mayweather himself couldn’t contain his emotions. This is truly one of boxings greatest fighters. Sure Floyd had great performances up to this point but this one the one that made him THE Floyd we know of today.
How when he called gatti a c+ fighter and said he was gonna do this
This was hard to watch because Gatti was so outclassed, the fight wasn't even competitive. It was a showcase of the difference between a boxer and a brawler. He was lost in there.
Best Rounds= 2nd & the 6th Round is Pure Greatness from Mr. Mayweather… Round 6 is in my “Top 10 Best Rounds” that I have ever seen in Boxing !!! Thank you, Mr. Mayweather…

Every time I rewatch this fight I don’t understand why/how the ref didn’t jus stop that punishment… it got dark as a Rocky movie but no script, *every time* I just shake my head smh🤦🏾♂️
round 6 is a dream for me watching mayweather just floating and piecing Gatti up with those combos. no shade on Gatti tho. You did to the best of your ability to stand in the ring with GREATEST TO EVER DO IT!
This is how every fight goes in your head (you being Floyd)
Dam this floyd was an absolute monster. He use to beat the brakes, rotors and suspensions off people. Yikes just brutal.
This version of Mayweather was a gift from the fight Gods.
I str8 felt for Floyd. He knew Gatti took a overload of damage…I wouldn’t even been able to celebrate off this victory; only prayers to the other guy
Rip autoro Gatti..you are a true warrior
hes a world class talent, and no one can take that from him. Watching floyd box is seeing a master at work. Hes fast AND smart. I just wish I was into boxing when he was active
naw this version of floyd is a brutal terminator mixed with a heart surgeon...that beating was crazy....
This version of Floyd was stopping top 5 p4p guys.. and was the belt snatcher , destroying every #1 ranked opponent in every sanctioning body. Nobody has beaten more world champions or hall of fame fighters while they were undefeated!
Mayweather... *Masterpiece.* 🥊
This probably was the best performance by any fighter In the entire sport of boxing
