People know me as a Mayweather hater, but even though I wish he would be facing Martinez instead, Ortiz is the next best option outside of Pacquiao. The undercard is too sick to be hating anyway.
I'm excited for Mayweather vs Ortiz and Morales vs Matthysse. I was initially only excited for May-Ortiz, and just saw Morales-Barrios/Canelo-Gomez as fillers, to satisfy the big Mexican crowd that would probably be there. Now they definitely upgraded with putting Matthysse as Morales' opponent. Two WBC title fights on the same card, can't any better than that. Canelo-Gomez is still a shit match-up no matter how exciting it ends up being.
floyd isn't exciting
vitali is more exciting
floyd is boring- yes he has skill, but he doesn't actually have any KO power at 147
he's a 135 guy who hits at 130 power
manny is a 130 guy who hits harder than most 170 fighters
i bet manny hits harder than hopkins
Tell who has manny knocked out at 147?
I'm really not that excited for this fight. Not to say it's a bad fight, I just see it as a mismatch.
THat all depends on Floyds tank.
34 years old, 16 month layoff.... AGAIN.
If he's still as sharp as ever, it is a mismatch.
If he's lost a step... it could turn into something else.
Thanks AlEyez
I'm a big Mayweather and Pac fan, and I'm honestly looking forward to both of their upcoming fights. IMHO both Pac and May are fighting opponents that are better then they're last 4-5 at this stage. Pacquiao is fighting someone who stylistically is always going to be a tough fight, & Mayweather is fighting someone who's young, strong, fast & southpaw.
Let's just hope this leads to the super-mega fight everyone's been waiting for.
EDIT: congrats reed.
This is one of the few Mayweather fights I've been excited about (others being against DLH and Hatton) because it will actually be an interesting bout. I am still kind of surprised Mayweather took on a young and dangerous fighter, a fighter that's hungry and packs power and skill as well.
You might say Mayweather knows what he's doing or that he must have seen something in Ortiz that he he thought he could exploit but fact of the matter is, none of that takes away from the threat that Ortiz poses. The guy can take a punch, packs power and speed and is relentless when he has a purpose. He had one for the Berto fight and he certainly has a bigger one this time around. This fight is no joke, it could be one of the best fights in boxing history. Interesting circumstances and matchup.
u cant be serious!! thats just ridiculously funny
Caesar's Palace buffet with their lobster is bomb too...and yes, nothing really beats prime rib in Vegas
Agreed. Except the 430 am fatburger meal is always lovely!
Good luck! Nothing better than being a father!
I wouldn't know, but that's what I'm hearing.
Wasn't trying for one, actually was taking precautions to not have it happen :lol1: But that's alright, I'm old enough and financially stable I think it'll all be alright.
I'm thinking the title is not important but the fact Mayweather may be on his final run. Hopefully the new management at HBO forces the Pac fight next.
Either way my original post still stands, this will be the most important fight Ive ever attended.
She'll appreciate that being she's pregnant :lol1:
She's bummed she can't party but she likes Floyd so shes excited anyway.
Ill have to check that out.
Congrats! what # is this for you if you mind me asking?
take you and your lady to the Rio buffet before you roll...that grub is amazing

Well most of the fights I attended were Roy post prime fights, other than Cotto-Mosley and a few spadafora fights.
This is an actual welterweight championship fight with the current best fighter in the world.

Interesting post. Why importance?

Can't disagree but I hope the standard of greatness is applied to all fighters, not just floyd because he talks alot of isht.
that standard isn't applied to all fighters because not all fighters are as great as floyd is.
