Nah, Floyd Mayweather is finished. Brocktonblockbust said so in the other thread.

[Edit] WTF? Just when I said this, he edited that thread title to include '(not)'. That sneaky devil ........

[#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.

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

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.

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...

So if it's for real, Mayweather continues ducking Pacquiao, and continues his gutless cherry picking, fuck him.

At the moment I think that this is just here say. I'll believe it when I see it. Theres no point in fighting ortiz or anyone else, he'll win easily. It's no different from pacroid fighting people he knows he'll comfortably beat.

I don't see the point in this fight at all other than to make a little bit of pocket change.

The ONLY rational behind it is some sort of tune up fight to see if he still has 'it'.

He's been out the ring for over 18 months I think, so at least he has that excuse for not being in a competetive fight.

ALSO this fight is only going to amplify accusations from pactards etc that he is 'scared' of pacroid.

Really I don't know why he'd go ahead with this fight. Might as well stay retired.

Bullshit. You sound like your making advance excuse.

You know this is a dangerous fight for Floyd knowing that Ortiz is a southpaw and can punch.

If you think that that post is me making excuses for floyd you are even dumber than first thought or you see things in the most distorted, twisted light imaginable.

What part of 'there is no point in this fight he should stay retired' don't you get?

This fight is not a dangerous one for floyd at all. You're delusional if you think it is.

If this fight goes ahead I don't give ortiz a snowball in hell's chance.
