Floyd vs. Ortiz - does Surfer Vic have a chance?

[El Kabong]

I wish Ortiz all the luck in the world. He really showed his heart vs Berto (would love to see that rematch!). Vic just gets hit too easy with the right cross...maybe he can lull Floyd into a false sense of security.

Floyd is an exceptional fighter and supremely skilled but I still dislike his personality...I will pay to watch him fight until he retires but I won't pay for this fight. I (like all fight fans) want Manny vs Floyd.

This may in the end resemble the willing and determined Polish calvary charging into the German army than an actual competive boxing match. But I hope he does just that and I think he can have a moment before it's over. Vic is young, strong and wreckless coming off his biggest win and though he may be puffed up a bit mentally, I really think he thinks he can hurt mayweather. Unlike Mosley and Marquez vs Floyd...I don't think he has a clue as to what his own limitations are. That can make for some fun. Not buying Floyds jabber about standing in but I do think he recognizes the need to dispatch Ortiz asap rather than coast and leave wounded guys in the field. I felt Ortiz would batter and get Berto but this is a whole different animal. It'll be fun while it last but I see Mayweather via tko midway.

I can see Floyd winning a decision, but by a KO/TKO? I can't see that at all, Mayweather isn't a big puncher.

Ortiz has a chance. In fact, I'm thinking of sig betting any Floyd fan here.

I'd like to watch the complete 24/7 series first.

I think Vic has a shot too, for some of the reasons in the OP. Nobody expects Ortiz to win, but I believe Floyd will have problems with him, and this will be a competitive fight.

Do you think he didn't stop Mosley and Marquez because he wasn't a big puncher, or because he settled into role and had total command? Thats sort of what I'm saying...Ortiz will force him to commit. And to me he does not have the defense-guile of JMM nor the chin of Mosley to withstand.

Btw if its an upset...kegs on me and I will get arrested twice that night.
