[bjermaine]

gatti would stop mcguigan late imo. gatti had too much heart.

McGuigan, easy.

He was never the best featherweight in the world and I don't support his IBHOF induction, but he was a legit elite world-class fighter, wheareas Gatti was not.

There's a slight chance Gatti could land something from Hell with both eyes closed, a broken hand, busted jaw & a bloody nose -- he made his living doing it after all -- but guys who beat him up then got nailed were either shot or guys that shouldn't really have been beating him up anyway. McGuigan in a war, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, a bit like Manfredy did Gatti, I think.

Easy fight for McGuigan in that he's got the kind of fighter he likes to go up against. gatti would make it a great one for the fans but Barry was world class, Gatti isn't in that league.
