Poll: Is a Floyd-Ortiz Rematch Warranted/Worth it?

[Vendettos]

I think a rematch would be fair. Albeit Ortiz just lost concentration, but it was unsportsman like of Mayweather.

Mayweather took that straight right opportunity like he never thought he was gonna win, like an easy way out.

Worth it? No, it'll just pro-long the saga with Pac-Man!

[KananKrus]

A rematch with Ortiz will only buy Floyd Jr time for another justification in ducking a faceoff with Pacquiao, or for a real fight with some other fighter deemed as more deserving.

Actually, the "hand picked" opponent, Victor Ortiz, was so out of his depth in this match with Floyd Mayweather Jr., as earlier pointed out here, that the deliberate multiple head butts he gave Mayweather was so moronic. No fighter in the right frame of mind will attempt this infraction. What adds to fuel odd questions was the manner by which it was executed.

It seemed as if the headbutts was seriously aimed, launched, and executed "for" and "to effect" damage, as reflected in the number of times it was attempted until it finally was technically put to stop by arbitration. As to its purpose, other than idiocy, your guess is as good as mine!

It is rather an easy conclusion that a rematch with these protagonists, Floyd Jr vs Ortiz, as one quite without a sensible reason, it is pointless. What is sensible tho' is to refrain from having these mismatches in the future.

Lets cut the mockeries to the sport to the bare minimum!

But Ortiz still got a point taken away. Ortizs mistake is seprate totally from what Floyd did. Ortiz heabutts Floyd, and in exchange gets a point deducted, recieves a power left hook to the chin, a power straight right to the chin, is robbed of his chance of even getting started in the fight. And on top of that he loses his belt. I agree Ortiz should have been "protecting himself at all times" but to say he deserved it for his headbutt I disagree there.

This fight was a mismatch from the getgo and that's without 20/20 hindsight. I've said that from day one. There is no need for a rematch of a mismatch.

[Beanflicker]

How would you sell a rematch? How are they gonna make another 24/7 series for it?

How are they going to sell Ortiz as a viable challenger? The whole intrigue of the first fight was if Ortiz's size and youth would cause Floyd problems, and if Floyd's inactivity and personal problems took anything out of him.

We CLEARLY saw Mayweather smashing Ortiz with lead rights at will and shutting out the majority of Ortiz's offense.

He had his shot and he blew it, bring on Pac or Khan.

[Mars_ax]

Controversial KO aside, Ortiz had no chance of winning the 1st fight, and he would have zero chance of winning a rematch, so what's the point? A rematch is a total waste of time, Mayweather needs to move on to bigger and better things, like Manny Pacquiao.

No... Ortiz was on his way to getting KTFO!

No... Ortiz was on his way to getting KTFO!

Yea bro.. A knockout loss was inevitable so im amazed at the fact that some people thought he was going to last 12 rounds.. it was beyond obvious that that Ortiz wasn't going to make it out of the midrounds..

[cambay411]

I dont think it was beyond obvious ive seen fighters take way worse beatings than that and last a whole fight. I dont know what round the fight would have made it to, all I know is it was an unfinished fight.

all you people should be fired from hbo!

Your right it was unfinished at that point, but those rights were going to catch up with Ortiz sooner or later. I don't think it would have gone any longer than 8

[Master]

I do not want to see a re-match, Ortiz was being out classed, Ortiz was naive to not protect himself and should not be rewarded with another mega money fight for that and we all want to see Floy fight Pac man.

I seen a left and a right hand put him down, he didn't get up. Finished.

People thought it was going to go the 12 rounds because they did not expect Floyd to come out of his shell like that. He usually defends and takes the clever and point scoring shots.
As far as a rematch goes, no I dont want to see it. I did not even want to see the first fight as Ortiz had no chance against Mayweather. There are only four people I want to see fight Mayweather.
Pacman, Timothy Bradley, Martinez or khan. Dont think any of them other than Pac have a chance but the other three are the only other people I would bother putting in the ring with them. Martinez at top of his devision, Bradley undefeated at top of his devision and khan, joint top of his devision and beating people easily.

Ortiz was always wrong. So a rematch would be awful.

Hey Floyd, fight the monkfish.
