Reviewing the fight again, i think too many people lie to themselves to what they actually are viewing. Floyd started throwing the elbow early, and Ortiz was using his head as retaliation. Toughest fight Floyd was going to have and many people (not here) do aggree. I don't think Floyd would have been able to fight for 12 rounds at that pace, never has before and still hasn't shown he could fight for 12 rounds consistantly when someone is smoothering you.
Floyd and Ortiz know (i will blame both) that they both fought dirty, one in retaliation to what was going to be an elbow fest, the other trying to retaliate with his own head. Only one took it even further.
Ortiz will return to the top, within a 1-2 years people will asking for the rematch, Floyd will continue to stay away as people are contemp to say that Floyd was winning handedly. They want the Floyd vs. Pac fight but Floyd is a big welterweight he was not 150 on fight night. Hopkin, Floyd, Ortiz, strick on their diets and work out freaks because they want to stay around the weight class they fighting in. Other wise they'd have to move up in weight.
So you think that Floyd would've had a stamina issue towards the end of that fight?

Glad to see common sense is getting thru on this forum.

And What make you believe Ortiz could have withstood that punishment for the rest of the night?..in the 4th round Mayweather landed a 4-5 punch combination and had Ortiz stumbling ready to go down and holding on to Mayweather.
Mayweather wouldn't need to go that pace for 12rds with someone like Ortiz that's why he was coming forward and landing anything he wanted. Ortiz was there to get KO'd, and Mayweather and his whole camp knew that.

the fact that ortiz's camp won't appeal the result should tell you something.
This is basically a non-issue. Only fans on message boards question if the fight was resumed or not.
It's more of the hand signal that suggested them to BOX, not the "Let's Go" the Let's Go actually confirmed it and made them pay attention to his hand gesture that signaled to BOX.
