    What about the late version of Gatti, the one who started actually boxing later in his career? I don't know if Hatton beats the fuck out of that version. Gatti may have held his own there and had enough power that Hatton couldn't just charge in on him. Plus Gatti was tough, he wouldn't just fold over because Hatton is hitting him all night in the body.

    Too bad this fight never happened. Was gatti already done by the time Hatton came on? Why didn't this fight happen?

    It's easy to outbox one of the slowest footed fighters of all time in Ward.

    Hatton would close the distance quick enough that Gatti couldn't box.

    If Hatton could give FLOYD trouble for 5 rounds while he attempted to move, then I fail to see how Gatti's gonna be effective trying to use his mythical skills.

    Gatti lands some solid shots, but takes a beating and likely gets stopped to the body.

    BTW - anybody remember that Gatti-Millet fight when retard Foreman says "Gatti throwing combinations, looking like Ray Leonard." and Lampley replies, very awkwardly "Well... sort of..."

    WOuld be a fun fight, but Hatton is always a step (or 2) ahead. Probably stops him with a bodypunch

    Foreman said funny things but I thought he was pretty insightful as a commentator.
