Mayweather/Ortiz on Boxrec 9/17/11 - Cowboy's Stadium *UNOFFICIAL/NOT SIGNED*

[Boxing Scene]

Once again the chicken will fight a real challenge while Manny puts on "entertaining wars" with the chickens leftovers.

Ortiz is a real challenge? Come on...not for Mayweather or Pac. He gets UD'd by Mayweather and KO'd by Pac.

Easy win for Mayweather. Yawn. Though I do like this fight better than fricken Spadafora.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz in September
by Rico Aguirre

According to an insider and Boxrec it appears that Victor Ortiz and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be squaring off on September 17th at a yet to be named location. (Boxrec.com has it listed in Cowboys Stadium- Dallas, Texas)

If indeed this match comes to fruition it would revive Mayweather’s career at the very moment that the press and the fans are about to write off Mr. Money. This fight would be the most relevant welterweight Matchup since Margarito vs Cotto.

According to an anonymous insider connected with Golden Boy Promotions the match is close to being signed and details are being finalized. Furthermore, the Boxrec website lists the fight on both fighters respective records.

Though this is not the fight that the public wants, it comes pretty darn close. The matchup is quite compelling as Ortiz is coming off a dominant victory over Berto and Floyd is technically perfect. This match-up is exponentially more competitive and relevant than the fight between Pacquaio and the great aging Mosley and should do very well.

This fight would be good for the sport as Manny no longer fights hungry lions; but, instead faces opponents looking for one final payday before retiring. Manny’s management it seems has opted to protect its cash cow and avoid any and all legitimate challengers. By making this match Floyd would give the hardcore boxing community a match worthy of being televised on Pay Per View.

The matchup of styles will be interesting as it appears that Vic would be able to apply the same pressure that Jose Luis Castillo did but with superior speed, power, and footwork. Though most believe that in order to neutralize Floyd you have to work off a steady jab Castillo demonstrated that another way is consistent pressure.

Conversely, Ortiz has demonstrated some vulnerability that Mayweather could exploit. For example, Ortiz has a tendency to leave himself open to a counter attack by not transitioning back to defense in between attacks and this was evident when Berto was able to connect with some effective punches. Furthermore, Floyd has consistently demonstrated in his matches that he is an elite counterpuncher.

Overall, the match would be extremely competitive and the winner would be regarded as the king of the welterweights.

Doesnt mean much you can say that just about any fighter regarding Floyd and Pac.

Once again the chicken will fight a real challenge while Manny puts on "entertaining wars" with the chickens leftovers.

Ortiz is a hype job who fought another hypejob. A months ago Ortiz is a quitter who is not even top 10 at 140 and was a cherry pick opponent for Berto. Just because he expose Berto doesnt mean ortiz is even close as good as Margarito at 150.

I rather see Bradley fight Floyd than Ortiz garbage quitting ass.

The only real challenge for both floyd and pacquaio is eachother and going up to 154 to fight Martinez or fighting Bradley(the headbutt is a wildcard).

Well yeah, except Floyd vs. Pac, that is my point.

[Reloaded]

Let's watch as no one demands testing. Seriously this fight sucks.

how much would you like to bet lol , all of Floyds remaining fights will have OST .

[KnockUTheFukOut]

the plan was to fight the winner of Ortiz vs Berto

they wanted it to be Berto but he dropped the ball, the plan was to use Berto's UNDEFEATED RECORD to help hype the fight but Ortiz ruined it, so I guess he could probably go ahead and fight Ortiz...neither of them have much of a shot either way...Mayweather by UD or late stoppage, I like Ortiz but he defense is HORRIBLE and Mayweather will exploit every FLAW IN HIS GAME if they fight

[| THE KING |]

You already know. I don't blame him though... Ortiz has a belt.. Floyd needs to fight Pac next though.

I like ortiz.. check sig. But he has nothing to bother Floyd other than a lucky punch.. which probably wouldn't do as much damage as an old Sugar Shane punch.

He will look slow/flat footed/plodder compared to May ..

I'd still watch though. but if May ain't gonna fight Pac after this ... he needs to stay retired. Ortiz is nowhere near Pac/May level.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Well yeah, except Floyd vs. Pac, that is my point.

Except for Martinez. Those 2 are on a different level. An Ortiz-Floyd fight gets me kind of excited though.

Floyd hasnt fought a lefty in a while. Ortiz is strong, skilled, fast, big, explosive, young and has some big time pop. Now I think we all know the outcome Floyd boxes him silly but it will be good to see Floyd back in the ring.
