15 Rd Welterweights
A smash em up fight. 2 tough go for broke sluggers.
Mayorga was as macho as any and I think would be stopped in 12 by Gatti.

mayorga too big, too strong. stops gatti

Obviously would depend on which version of a 147 lb Gatti. When he Tko'd Daamgard, who was 37-0 at that time, That 147 lb version of Gatti would likely be a Great Opponent/Test for Mayorga. It would either go the distance, or maybe the ref would stop it in the later rounds, from Gatti being too Arm-weary/Arm heavy to defend himself well enough. If it went the distance, probably a 7-5 in rounds type of decision win for Mayorga. Gatti would very likely be totally worn out in the 12th round,and barely surviving,by clinching and stumble-circling. In a 15 round hypothetical, I think that all that extra muscle weight on Gatti's arms would most definitely have him absolutely done,either after the 12th or 13th round.

Simple and correct answer.

gatti’s record at welterweight wasn’t great obviously last couple of fights he was passed it but mayorga was bigger id fancy him to stop him 8-10 in a cracking fight though
