Mayweather announces ring return against Ortiz on Sept. 17

[#1FightFan]

all i can say is GO ORTIZ!!!!
gayweather needs to be ko'ed brutally. and since he is scared to death of fighting manny, maybe this tough young gun in Ortiz, can do it. let's hope.

Nobody from the Y2k era can beat Floyd.. Maybe a prime Forrest but that's about it.

He deserves all the credit once he steps inside the ring with this true young lion in Victor Ortiz. I can't believe some of ya arent happy with this matchup.

Floyd is going to rip Ortiz a new asshole and here's why. Besides the fact that he's few notches above him, FLoyd fights souhtpaws aggressive. He totally switches up his style when up against these southpaw opponents and he's going to walk Ortiz down and punish him. He should fight Martinez after and retire as a true great. Beating martinez means just as much to the eyes of true boxing fans and he should retire after that.

If he beats Ortiz and MArtinez, he'd be a top 20 ATG for me..

if this fight isn't going to be a tune-up for a possible pacquiao or martinez fight then i'm not interested. i've got a feeling after he beats ortiz he'll just go away for another long vacation.

I agree, that is what's going to happen and because I already know the outcome is why I can't look forward to it.

Maybe this is just floyd's plan. Fight once every couple of years just to keep his name in the £4£ list.

At least Floyd is getting back in the ring. People were saying Ortiz would be a good fight for Manny Pac aside from Floyd, so this should be ok for Floyd to fight him, i'am hopping that it is only a warm up for Pac man tho as Ortiz is also a southpaw.

Mayweather slipping in the backdoor here to grab yet another meaningless trinket from a gutsy guy who prior to exposing a frozen Berto was thought to then have little chance, no chin and even less desire for the ring. As long as he fights, good, but his timing and selection need perspective. I think he knocks Ortiz out when he wants, how he wants and if he wants. Ortiz has earned a big fight he did himself proud and proved the naysayers wrong.. Good luck. He'll need it.

I think it's a good fight, Ortiz deserves the big payday. I think after this fight Floyd goes on another long vacation. I'm not a PBF hater by no means but i do hope Ortiz KO's him, i just happen to like Ortiz better than i like Floyd.

i think he's more concern these days in making easy money.

Not long after the Ortiz vs Berto fight, Berto accuses Ortiz of using PEDs. It is interesting how Mayweather acts on this accusation. Will he require Ortiz to undergo OSDT? If not, then all of Mayweather's claim of wanting to clean boxing of PEDs is just an excuse to avoid Pacquiao.

Ortiz will get beat down unless Floyd's punch resistance has diminished at all. Is he requiring OSD of Ortiz after Berto's accusations?

I've seen that too. I believe thought that he picked Ortiz because he plans on facing Pacquiao in the future and he wanted to face a southpaw as a tune-up.

There just is no reason to fight Martinez if Pacquiao is out there and a less risky fight. And if we know nothing about Floyd, one thing we do know, is that he fights for $, not for legacy.

Ortiz will conform to all floyds drug tests like mosley. He has nothing to hide.

Already hate this fight. Ortiz deserves a payday, but he also deserves a chance to make a few defenses of his title, keep that hunger going, improve his skills and thrill fans with some good fights while coming into his own.
But no, as soon as he gets a belt, Here comes mayweather out from behind the retirement, crap talking webcam to dance away with this kids title and then keep them on hiatus while we listen to round 3 or 4 of "take the tests/ no, you don't make the rules"...
Screw that... boxing needs more fighters/ competitors like Ortiz and less self businessmen like mayweather.

IF he doesn't want to look like a complete phoney, he should demand blood testing on Ortiz and Im sure he knows this better than all of us. He'll demand it and Ortiz will oblige. I dont think it will be an issue at all.

I agree. ORtiz' southpaw style will prepare him well for Pacman. I dont see who else can give him a good look as a southpaw. Ortiz bout is more than respectable. And based on Ortiz' current form, i dont see him as a tuneup at all..

Floyd loves money but i think he DOES care alot about his legacy. To him, two things that's more important than money are his well-being and his perfect record. At this point of his career, he knows that he can make good money fighting pretty much anybody so he's not all that concerened about fighting pacman. As long as he can make good money and secure his shiny record, he's fine...
