Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs. Victor Ortiz?

[IronDanHamza]

First off, well done Victor Ortiz on a good performance tonight.

Now, before we all get carried away and start slating Floyd Mayweather. This thread to merely ask, Why not?

I am not suggesting this fight is going to happen, nor do I think it will. It most likely won't.

My queston is; Why not? Do we see this as a likely option?

Would it not be a perfect tuneup for Manny Pacqiauo? Considering Victor Ortiz is a strong, fast, southpaw? Which at 147, it seems he is a much more active fighter.

He is now a title holder at 147, coming off the best win of his career AND is under Golden Boy Promotions.

And on top of all that, Victor Ortiz is not a difficult fight for Floyd Mayweather and I doubt Floyd believes it will be either, which means I can only presume he won't mind fighting him for his comeback fight.

Throw the fact he was sat ringside for the fight also.

Again, I reiterate; Why not? I can't see a single roadblock for why this fight couldn't be made.

Thoughts? Could this happen?

I'd actually be interested in seeing this fight. Although I doubt whether PBF would take any chances and fight someone like Ortiz before Pacquiao. It would be an ideal tune up though, a left handed power puncher.

dunno bout that floyd probably be like there is no money in the fight...but floyd crush him anyways

i could see this fight happening but there is no money in this

It would be an interesting fight. Mayweather has the speed but he is rusty and Ortiz is hungry. It would be a pretty good fight. Too bad that he is retired or on vacation to get this fight going.

If Mayweather was fighting regularly I would say he would win easily against Victor but he hasn't and remember Floyd has not fought a real Welterweight in his prime yet.

Make it happen. Just hope Ortiz never ever reverts to his old ways, my only fear so far.

[MrRolltide91]

ortiz is with gbp. this fight would be easy to make.

[IronDanHamza]

I think Floyd should take this fight.

I'm sure they could figure out a way to sell this fight. Floyd has a pretty good business team that can evidently sell fights. Although he was never in a position where he was fighting someone with as little name as Oritz, atleast in recent years.

We'll see, I guess.

floyd might fight ortiz imo cuz why would he be there

[IronDanHamza]

ortiz is with gbp. this fight would be easy to make.

Precisely.

It seems like a perfect match to me.
