Reading some of you guys posts gives me a headache...doesn't matter what Floyd does your going to find a way to talk shit. Same guys giving Oriz props after the great fight with berto now think he's a gimme fight. It's like floyd says he cant win the fans over no matter what he does.
Looking forward to another masterclass of hitting and not being hit for twelve punishing rounds for Ortiz.
So The gutless cherry picker may grace the boxing world with another boring PPV, yippeee, I can't wait not to watch it.
So how is ducking Pacquiao for the last 3 + years, and fighting Ortiz suppose to win this gutless piece of shit fans?Quote:

You're joking right? Ortiz doesnt need Gatti's heart because he's light years better than him in just about every other area. His chin is sturdy enough and he's shown some cojones in his last fight. He's nearing his prime and with his southpaw style, he's going to put up a fight unlike Gatti who gave Floyd nothing to think about. There wont be any early KO, I know that much.Quote:

Just read the ESPN article about this and, yes, Victor Ortiz has agreed to random blood tests. I guess he has NOTHING to hide :).
Yep he knows he's clean. What kind of fighter would turn down a big purse because of a harmless drug test.Quote:

oh yeah. . . i forgot mayweather doesn't KO people anymore. he bores them to death. but the floyd that fought gatti woulda destroyed ortiz under three.Quote:

That's not entirely true. There is one thing he could do to win over many people, but - for whatever reason - he has steadfastly refused to.Quote:

Love him or hate him, the boxing world is a better place with him in it.
I don't get all the hate for this fight, though. He is fighting the best available opponent, is fighting a big hitting southpaw who nearly always drops his opponents yet people are STILL moaning. After this announcement, I am more confident than ever that the fight we all want to see will happen in May 2012. The fact he has chosen to fight a southpaw who likes to come forward gives me that idea.
I'm 99% sure Sky Sports will be showing it live as well so really looking forward to this fight. As someone else mentioned on here, funny how Floyd is criticized for taking this fight and yet people are alright with some of Pacquiao's recent opponents.
Just like he ducked Margarito right? It's funny that some guys have to seemingly fight everyone in the top 10 or they are ducking someone. I'm done arguing about whos to blame for Mayweather-Pac not fighting.... been there done that go look up an old thread. Mayweather ducked Cotto, Williams, Forrest, hmm let me see who else was around his weight he didnt fight....Quote:

For Floyd, its risk worth taking, but why would he risk his career and potential 50million for Ortiz if he has the chance to jump on to the mega fight with pac? But I honestly give credit to Floyd for cutting his 'vacation' short.
Now Roger was qouted saying that Ortiz fight is a harder challenge than a Pacman fight. Why the hell did they take the harder fight for the less money then? That goes to show you that they are very much into ducking mode when it comes to pac.
Pac isn't available until May 2012 now. Floyd obviously wants to get back in the ring before then. I never was optimistic that the fight will happen but now with this and the figures being thrown around (and with how Pac displayed against Mosley) I think it will. The fact Ortiz is a southpaw is significant.Quote:
