GBP won't put Ortiz in with Pacquiao. Ortiz said himself that he wants a big name fight and there is no one bigger than Pacquiao but Pacquiao would beat up Ortiz so bad that it would be back to square one.
are you new here :rofl:
Assuming pac beats mosley & floyd is unavailable, what are his options? Ortiz, Marquez III, bradley?? I guess it would come down to Marquez & Ortiz.
:rofl: :rofl:
Not very, bro.
Of course I know pretty no matter who Pac or Floyd fight, even if legit, they will get sh*tted on by idiots. (other than themselves)
But I'm saying there is no reason to sh*t on Pac or Floyd for fighting Ortiz. Atleast not IMO.
hey how else he gone get them belts
Tim Bradley is a free agent next month and if the Khan fight doesn't happen, I'd bet Arum gets him (Tim wants Pacquiao, Top Rank wants Bradley). Top Rank should start heavily promoting Tim, put him in with Zaveck on SHOW or CBS (if that's possible by the summer/fall, doubtful), Tim takes the IBF strap. Then Pacquiao-Bradley would have 2 belts, 3 if Manny gets the RING for Shane, on the line.
Will HBO pay Ortiz 2 million dollars a fight to fight Bums like Berto did or will he fight contenders and elites to make PPV draws ? Will Oscar come back kissing his feet ? since he didn't care to much about the bout since he went to England to root for Amir Khan. If I was Ortiz I would leave Golden Boy they only match him with Berto thinking he was going to get knock out
Golden Boy just turned him into a star. They got him a title shot after a string up sub-par performances. They gave him a legit put up or shut up fight and he won it, setting himself up nice. What, go to Top Rank while they feed him no-hopers setting up some in-house showdown that we may never see, as he 'builds' it, then gets knocked out eventually? They gave him a fight that he had to get up for and respond. Oscar puts his guys on a grinder

If there isn't a rematch next, I bet Berto is going to try to make that fight with Senchenko or Zavec again. HBO turned him down about 18 months ago to fight either guy, but then they tried to get either of them in there with Alvarez.
I bet Berto is going to look at them real hard and try to convince HBO it's worth it to pay them to come over stateside.
is that to much to ask?????
oh you will larry
you are going to see vic and floydie fight then floydie will fight pac and we will have a undisputed WW champ in July of 2012
Not by me.
Ortiz didn't look great Vs Peterson but he won the fight quite clearly IMO. Other than that, since Maidanna he has looked much better and much improved.
If he were to fight Ortiz, he would be fighting a young, strong, title holder who just beat the #3 in the division. Which would be better than Pacqiauo's entire 2010 and first half of 2011, IMO.
Can't see how a fight Vs Ortiz should be sh*tted on.
Ortiz got his,he's a champ.That's better than Clottey,Margarito & Mosley,U are correct.There is no reason to hate on the fight.Matter of fact Pacman should have been having his way with Berto in a unification bout this may instead of an ancient Mosley.Instead him & Floyd allowed Ortiz to take Berto's 0,an easy night of work for either,go figure.
i wish golden boy & top rank would end the war.
but honestly, wouldn't pac get shitted on if he fought Ortiz? Seems like an easy fight and everyone would talk about how he got stopped by maidana and got a draw against peterson.

cant sh1t on a champ for fighting another champ in his division
Honestly, this is actually asking too much according to Bob Arum and Golden Boy. They aren't working together and I don't see that changing.
Still, there are some lesser-known fighters that Ortiz, for example, could go after and really get himself going. If he manages to face and beat M'baye, Zaveck and Senchenko, then he's got all the major championships at the weight other than Manny Pacquiao's.
This would really get him noticed, this would really get Golden Boy behind him once again and this would really raise his stock. If he managed to beat Marcos Maidana along the way as well, which is possible with the new attitude and the weight, he'd really make himself a star.
With that, Bob Arum might not have a choice. The biggest fight at that weight besides a Mayweather clash would be an Ortiz showdown. That's about the best chance we have of unification, because Pacquiao ain't fighting these guys to round them up. Can't say I blame him.
It makes it even harder now
Unless Ortiz wants to fight Zaveck or Senshenko
Well Pacquiao has a strap but i doubt the fight with Ortiz will get made. And quite frankly I don't think anyone wants to see Ortiz fight these guys. I didn't even know who the hell had the other belts until this thread.

someone needs to step in and call and end to this top rank goldenboy bullsh1t its stopping alot of good matchups..
Not if Pacqiuao keeps his belt.
I'm sure Pacqiauo would love to fight Ortiz. But his promoter wouldn't.
Bob Arum is not going to work with GBP. And most likely never will.
