FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. PROVED TO ME HE IS THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD... by Mike Leanardi
While everyone has either seen or at least read a review of the fight by now, something significant did take place last Saturday evening at the Boardwalk Hall even though the fight was as lopsided as can be. Myself, amongst the capacity crowd, saw a virtuoso performance by who, I realized, is simply the top Pound-For-Pound fighter in the world today.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. - (Circa 1996-2005)... by George Elsasser
You’re Floyd Mayweather Jr., a throwback in skills and style to the second most sweetest of sugars in Ray Charles Leonard - and the WBC jr. welter trophy is yours come June 25 of 2005, with the Gatti corner calling it no-mas following stanza six of Floyd pitching and Arturo catching.

MAYWEATHER vs GATTI: SILENCE... by Jeff Mayweather
Saturday night in Atlantic City there was supposed to be a war going on between two of the best 140 pounders in the world. Unfortunately, only one came fully loaded with a complete arsenal of weapons while the other seemed to had lost the scope on his weapons, because he certainly couldn't hit the target that was right in front of him for six punishing rounds.

MAYWEATHER DESTRUYE A GATTI... por Oscar Borrás
No hubo sorpresa en el encuentro titular entre Floyd Mayweather y Arturo Gatti del sábado pasado en el Boardwalk Hall en Atlantic City. El más desconocedor aficionado al boxeo, sabía que solamente un milagro pudiera haber producido un final diferente.

MAYWEATHER DOMINATES GATTI... Sharkie's Machine by Frank Gonzalez Jr.
It was hard watching Arturo Gatti lose his thunder (and his WBC Title) to the mastery that is Floyd Mayweather Jr. I was shocked at the short sightedness of Vivian Harris’ performance against Carlos Maussa. June has been a big month for the Jr. Welter division.

A MISMATCH OF A FIGHT, BUT A PERFORMANCE OF A TRUE GREAT... by Chris Robinson
Tonight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City the expectations of many failed to surface except for one man, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather went into Arturo Gatti’s backyard and whipped him from pillar to post, silencing the crowd and adding more greatness to his career with a 6^th round technical knockout over the Jersey City fan favorite.

THE DUST HAS SETTLED: MAYWEATHER IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD... by Kenny Perrault
The dust from Saturday night's match up between Arturo Gatti and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has settled. Going into the fight, HBO, the promoters, and the fighters did a great job of selling the bout, making you believe it was going to be a match up with non-stop action. However, in all reality, who believed the hype?

'THUNDER GATTI' COULDN'T SURVIVE MAYWEATHER'S LIGHTNING... by Elisa Harrison
Coming into the fight, Floyd had the most to lose. For some reason, many in the boxing world determined that the true test of his greatness was going to come from Arturo Gatti.  Never mind the previous battles Mayweather Jr. had won, the very worthy opponents he had defeated. Tonight was going to be the make it or break it night for him; he needed to assert himself, and nothing short of greatness was going to satisfy the detractors.

VIVIAN HARRIS: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!... by Jeff Mayweather
In the post fight interview, he had the nerve to say that he was the best Super Lightweight in the world after just being knocked out by a guy that had no clue how to throw a proper punch. Maussa walked toward Harris with both hands down by his side, not even attempting to get out of the way, letting Harris know that his so called punching power didn't exist like he thought or the people who filled his head with the notion that he was a tremendous puncher.

CARLOS MAUSSA KO'S VIVIAN HARRIS... Sharkie's Machine by Frank Gonzalez Jr.
Carlos Maussa has a lot of something—heart, fire, Chutzpa, moxy or whatever you call it, he’s got it. Maussa is an exciting new edition to the upper echelon of the Jr. Welter division. The question is, can he last? He is tall, awkward and appears to be off balance as he takes big shots and delivers his own. Emanuel Stewart said he was like a rubber band. Yeah, he’s that too. Maussa has a comically menacing look that has to throw his opponents off a bit. Against Harris, his will was tremendous and he has a cocksureness about him that had an affect on Harris.

MAYWEATHER PUMMELS GATTI... by David Kolb
In front of a sold out crowd of 12,675 at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall, Gatti supporters learned quickly how skilled of a boxer Floyd Mayweather is, as he smashed their hometown hero in a six round TKO. Mayweather dominated every round of the fight to take Gatti's WBC light welterweight title.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER: SOMETHING SPECIAL... by Chris Robinson
Since his pro debut following the 1996 Olympics, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has turned his career into a great story and I haven’t been able to put the book down since. Tomorrow night, in Atlantic City, Mayweather challenges for a title in his third weight class against always action Arturo ‘Thunder’ Gatti, and it looks be yet another chapter worth reading.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING... by Eric Kelley
Ladies and gentlemen it's that time again. Time to embark on another action packed thriller as "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather and Arturo "Thunder" Gatti clash in what could be the most explosive fight of the year. Just months shy of the classic, blood fest between Jose Castillo and Diego "Chico" Corrales, we're only mere hours shy of what may easily become the event of the summer.

GOOD BYE TO GATTI: IT WAS A GREAT RIDE!... by Jim Amato
As much as I like Arturo, I feel he has bitten off more than he can chew by taking on Floyd Mayweather Jr. To me, Floyd is the most naturally talented boxer since a young Roy Jones Jr. and Sugar Ray Leonard. He is that good! Whatever Gatti can do, Floyd can do better. Every match up, jab, hand speed , power, defense and ring generalship all favor Floyd.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING PREVIEW... by David Kolb
The question is… What does Gatti have in his arsenal that is better than the attributes Mayweather has? The answer is nothing. Movement, jab, power all go to Mayweather. So the follow up question must be… how can Gatti win the fight?

RICKY 'THE HITMAN' HATTON STORMS AMERICA
Fresh off battering the great Kostya Tszyu in Manchester, England, Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton is in America to sit ringside as two of his biggest rivals, WBC Light Welterweight titlist Arturo Gatti and unbeaten top contender/former two weight world champion Floyd Mayweather, square off on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The "Whirlwind of Bad Intent" will also be the studio guest analyst on the popular ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights program and will participate in both HBO and Sky TV's broadcast of the greatly anticipated, epic pay per view Gatti - Mayweather fight.

MAYWEATHER JR., WILL IT BE ABOUT LOVE, HATE OR RESPECT? ... by Jeff Mayweather
Saturday night in Atlantic City, one of the most anticipated fights in the boxing world will take place. On paper, it's a great match up for fight fans but boxing purists, those who know the game from the inside, know this is a total mismatch.
