yes, and?
at 160, way above DLH's weight class, SRL did it but he didnt move up that much, not as compared to DLH.
no shame in that, Sturm is quite good and quite a bit heavier than DLH

I think it was a case of the euro getting exposed, Gatti is nothing special.
In pure Boxing terms Gatti sucks, his Defence is his face.
Obviously he appeals to the fringe Boxing fan, since they just want to see a fight, myself i am the same but can definately appreciate a mayweather ripping a Gatti apart.
Obviously noone wants to see Chris Byrd fight. Man is he the most boring fighter of all time?
Other than that Gatti is a pure journeyman, a tomato can who just has a lot of heart and can drag out the win.

Point in case, a certain mickey ward, 3 fights to decisively beat a man who was a definate bum and was owned by Zab.

Point is Gattis opponent ****** big time.

Mayweather i am a huge fan of, Mayweather V Gatti is one of the most beautiful examples of boxing i have seen in a long time.

A couple feel out fights i can understand but he definately needs to go after some belts, Hatton is a great fight to be made, i honestly think the zab fight will be a waste of time.

you have to have respect for gattin he will fight any body he has no chance but still he gets in there and makes no excusess. im a fan of mayweather also and yeah the zab fight is a joke, but he would beat hatton with no real problem

I kind of agree that Morales can't beat up anyone bigger than him.
Gatti would more than likely beat him too if they were to fight 140lbs.

Of course! If Eric can't knock out smaller guys how would you expect him to beat Gatti at 140.

JCC was greater than ODH for sure, maybe not the better fighter but
JCC achieved more

alot of u noobs are in love with chavez's 100 plus wins...when in 85 of those fights were mexican cab drivers..he blew up his record in mexico fighting nobodies...de la hoya earned his wins the hard way

Some of you are embarrassing, really.

I know people who don't claim to be boxing fans...who know more about the sport & its history than you guys do.

Many of you would be best served to keep your mouths shut, because you don't have the knowledge to speak on most boxing-related subjects.

Be glad moderators don't exclude people from here just because they don't know what they're talking about. Put a rule like that in effect, make me a moderator, & you worthless ****s would need to find another place to spread your ******ity.

who you talking 'bout Willis?

[TheEvilSaint]

de la hoya is the best mexican fighter of all time..bar none..erik morales made a career of beating smaller fighters and julio chavez couldnt beat anybody any good pass 140...de la hoya vs morales @ 135 would have been like a KANGAL dog vs a house cat

you DO realize that de la hoya is american right?

[jabsRstiff]

who you talking 'bout Willis?

You, for one. You know nothing, nothing at all, about Julio Cesar Chavez.

[TOPitBull]

Chavez was great, De La Hoya is American, And this thread sucks goat balls.
