    Why not? It's a great matchup and Ortiz is one of the most exciting fighters around.

    Do you believe in the invincibility of Floyd Mayweather or something? He's only fought twice in 3 years and would have been 18 months out of the ring by the time that fight took place.

    Unless you assume he's some kind of super human and judge him differently from all other fighters how could you possibly make the case that this is an unintersting routine comeback fight for him?

    If he comes back after 18 months and goes straight to fighting Ortiz that would be a big risk.
    I don't think he's a super human being and I absolutely do not contest the excitement Ortiz brings to the ring. However, Ortiz, despite his excitement, is miles behind Mayweather in matter of skills and speed and he doesn't have enough power, in my opinion, to seriously hurt Floyd. I see it as a 12 rounds boring UD for Floyd no matter what, perhaps I am too severe but it is really my impression.

    Ortiz has huge power! Even in his loss to Maidana he put him down two or three times and hes stopped virtually everyone in his career. He put Berto down at least twice, arguably and he floored Peterson as well.

    Skillwise he has outboxed everyone he has foiught. You could question his heart following the Maidana loss but he's proven himself against Berto now imo.

    Floyd wont have fought in 18 months by September. If he's going to fight Manny I'd want him to have at least one tough fight coming preparation for Manny Pacquiao.

    Id love to see him fight Ortiz if it happens, cracking matchup.
