1mil?? **** i will bet my first born daughter into indentured servitude, if he doesn't! LOL

Come on man, if you make bets like that, then you had better get used to sleeping outside and checking trashcans for your dinner.

Yes Floyd. That's the way to go man. Fight. Just fight.

Rubbish.

Ortiz is young, hungry, fast, skilled, in his prime, and on top of his game.

Cotto is none of those things.

Ortiz would be Pac's best opponent since Marquez.

Okay here's my points: Ortiz has had only 3 competitive fights in his young career. A stoppage loss to Maidana, a draw to L. Peterson, and an impressive win against Berto. That's all in the past 2 years and let's not forget Berto fought a total of 1 round in a year's time. Yes Ortiz is fast, skilled and has power but he is inconsistent, gets hit just as much as Cotto, has quit just like Cotto and has not proved anything. ONE WIN DOES NOT MAKE A FIGHTER GREAT!

Truthfully you can knock any fight PBF takes besides Martinez or Manny. But I disagree with you about Cotto. Ortiz is a better match just based on the fact that he is a lefty and Manny is the goal. Cotto doesn't have above average reflexes cause of that is why he takes so many punches. No way should Margarito have been able to hit him that many times. In the fight with Manny he was trying to block punches after they had already landed. That to me says he saw the punches coming but wasn't fast enough to either roll with the punch, duck or block it. Those are not the signs of above average reflexes. Both Ortiz and Cotto lose which loses in worse fashion is the only thing up for debate IMO.

I hear you man, to me Mayweather is a betting favorite against any fighter at this point even against Manny and I'm not that big a fan of Floyd. Good points on Cotto's reflexes, I tend to think Cotto has trouble with pressure fighters that come forward vs bad reflexes, but, it's hard to knock your points. Ortiz is the tailor made opponent to get him ready for Pacman, southpaw, handspeed, footspeed but lacks the angles of Pac as well as any type of drawing power. Money is the goal and Cotto is better suited to meet Floyds demand.

Your dumb ass thinks Ortiz is better then Cotto..

You should try to learn how to put a sentence together before getting at me.

a common response. if u cant defend ur post, nitpick on the grammar. lets do it again. how u think u r good on analysis, when u say hatton will win unblemished against pacman?

[Termite]

Prediction:

Tunep V LW or old 140lber

Then Cotto/Ortiz/Margs (one of the above)

Then retirement....

u mean there no more pac-floyd?

[JoeDaWg]

Maybe he will fight Martinez, then step down for an easier Pac fight

You guys crack me up, let me tell you why.....

You think that Mayweather beating Ortiz would be " the most impressive thing he's done in years "..... dude, actually taking a fight with someone like Ortiz - regardless of the result - would be the most impressive thing that Pac has done in years.

And that is a total joke.

Manny retires either.....
* when he runs out of old men and faded champions to pad his resume' with
* before a fight with someone like Ortiz becomes mandatory
* after a fight with Mayweather

Give me a break, pac has cleaned up 147 while floyds been on vacation. Pacs been doing it, while floyds been talking about doing it. Ortiz is a stud, but I don't think he'd take the cotto pac laid out, and I highly doubt he could stand up to cheato's pressure. But hey to each his own, one thing is beyond question. I'll take hatton, cotto, clottey, cheato, and now mosley, over a light weight and mosley any day of the week. It isn't even close, floyds "career" at 147 makes me laugh every time I think about it. Dude has been at 147 for how long? And he couldn't even do half what this "over hyped midget" did in two years.

Mayweather needs to stop ducking Antonio Margarito and accept to fight him.

Its been years since Margarito has been wanting to fight Mayweather Jr.

" Ortiz has had only 3 competitive fights in his young career "

So, guys have won titles on their first step up to bat.

" Yes Ortiz is fast, skilled and has power but he is inconsistent "

How would you know ?
1.) his best weight is clearly 147
2.) he has only had one fight at his best weight
3.) in that fight, he was a fkn beast
4.) he knocked over the only welter who was short-listed to fight Pac
5.) he is clearly the most qualified for a Pac fight

It has been years since Cotto put together a performance like that.
