Mayweather announces ring return against Ortiz on Sept. 17

I wonder if people will ever get the notion that actually neither man wants the fight.

Just like past negotiations and interviews he is heard saying he agrees to taking blood tests and later on either him or his team will add that, yes, they agree to all kinds of test…the ones done by the boxing athletic commission or will ask for cut off dates (for what? Hhhhmmm), not random blood tests. What does it tell you when you see Floyd agreed to the list of demands Pac, Roach, and Arum brought to him but have Pac refuse to accept one single demand Floyd made?

this has been discussed and debated so many times it'll never end until they do fight. one thing i noticed though of late is pacquiao seems to be the only one actively pursuing this fight, that from what is mostly being reported in the media.

I know, huh?

The day I hear Pac, Roach, and Arum clearly say "We accept all kinds of RANDOM BLOOD TESTS with no cut off dates what so ever, bring it on! Let's sign this deal!" and Floyd stalls, then, I don't know what to really think of Floyd and you'll see me here doubting Floyd, that is, if that ever happens between both camps. As for now, we'll just have cross our fingers and hope this fight happens sometime before they are too old.

Meanwhile, we'll just have to see them fighting others.

Mayweather is a money fighter and that is probably a cold thing to say but think, no one fights for free in the prize ring and anyone that does needs professional help and I don't mean a trainer. Did anyone ever see Floyd go in unprepared? 18 months or 18 years, Floyd is not the type to let himself go and he will be in shape. He needs to buy a bigger wallet. I do not like him and I am not too crazy about Ortiz either but you haven't seen Floyd falter either. Ortiz has com a long way in the heart department but he still has to learn that it is not a crime to duck. Will it be competitive? That depends on how much attention Ortiz pays to his trainers, his regimen or how much he learns about adjustment. I have never see Floyd in danger of losing and maybe once or twice he had to fight a little harder but the O is not there because it was handed to him. Once again, I am not his fan but Floyd is not a chump he has a history in boxing but if Ortiz heart and momentum of his last fight really improved him and he continues on the roller coaster, things will get interesting. Does he have a chance? Everyone does but it depends on whether or not he can swim in Floyd's ocean.
