Floyd haters..just respect the game

[marbleheadmaui]

Here we go again.... if someone doesn't just insert floyd's ball into their mouth after every victory.. then they are "haters".... yawn....

It was a bitch move... shouldn't be a surprise because he did the same thing to Gatti in the first round. What's funny is floyd is a bitch for his move yet somehow Victor isn't for the headbutt... go figure...

I fail to see how Ortiz isn't the villain here. HE began this whole thing by taking a flagrantly illegal shot. Then he compounded that by being stupid.

Floyd was merely opportunistic and vicious.

I agree.. Ortiz fouled then got legally sucker punched. I guess most just held floyd to a higher standard where he would have just punished Victor all night. What's funny is that the headbutt was deliberate yet Victor went out of his way to kiss and make up....

Yup. Proving once again that Victor Ortiz's boxing IQ is somewhere south of top quality.

It cracks me up that another poster will say they lost respect for Floyd, yet dosent mention Ortiz incited the whole thing my blatantly jump butting Mayweather and punching him while he was defenseless. Then people say will Ortiz got his punishment from the ref and Floyd should have happily obliged the 5 hugs and a kiss this guy kept giving him because he got caught butting and that's it. Ortiz reaction was like he was stealing something in a dark room and suddenly someone flicked on the lights and he realized 9000 live and millions at home caught him doing something wrong.
.
Also anyone who thinks Mayweather owed this kid any sportsmanship after He blatantly used his head as a weapon is beyond me. Cortez yelled Box and Floyd hit him out of anger and emotion within the rules. You may
have wanted more you might expect more out of Floyd. Why I don't know? Most of the hate comes from ones who already hate him

Ortiz intentionally headbutted Floyd, that is wrong and he was penalized for it.
When the referee restarted the fight, Floyd made every indication that he's accepting Ortiz apology, even barely touching their gloves, but suddenly dished out a sucker punch knowing that Ortiz is not yet poised to defend himself.

Isn't this Floyd the same guy who demanded for a random drug test, TO EVEN UP THE PLAYING FIELD? This isn't even a fight between two equals. That sucker punch is legal but a sneaky move done on a defenseless underdog.

floyd is a boxer not a warrior. Warriors would never pull that shit. That said, floyd is still one of the most skilled fighters ever. That said..he is still a coward. Ive never seen a boxer who is so talented and yet be so chicken. He said manny youre next and deny it. Trust me, manny will kiss floyds ass to a certain degree ( agree to random test etc ) just to make the fight happen. But guess what...floyd will cook up another excuse just like what he is doing again. That fight will never happen.

I hate to see Floyd do this to himself really, I hope he realizes what he did and comes back alot more motivated to prove himself as a great
