Karl Dargan: "Just got a call from Victor, his fighting Floyd next"

[Barry Halls]

This is a cool fight i have no problem with.

Is there anyone left for Pac/Floyd after they fight these 2 guys? I guess Tim Bradley, and Sergio but none of them have the balls to fight sergio so hes out.

If they run out of opponents (and easy money) maybe they can get their **** together.

[Carpe Diem]

Best fight Floyd can make outside of Pacman. Look forward to it.

I cant believe Floyd is stepping up and fighting a young, firey opponent before Pacquiao.

Don't get your hopes up, Paulf. I won't believe it until i see them both at the fight's first official press conference.

Ayone who thinks ortiz is a tune up is kidding themselves.......also this one does well over 1 million PPV's.

Fair enough. I just don't see Ortiz as a legitimate opponet for somebody of Mayweather's caliber, I see the fight as a farce, if indeed it were to happen.
And I agree that it's hard to predict where Ortiz will go from here, or what path his career will take in the future, but I just have a hard time believing in a guy who he himself said that getting hit, and I'm quoting here ; "isn't what I got into boxing for".

I find that statement to be extremely telling.

All disrespect completely intended if you think this fight is a farce you are a fool. Ortiz is the real deal at 147.....Berto may be limited in terms of his balance, but we all know he hits very hard, Ortiz took his best shots and whipped his ass......he was fast, showed plenty of stamina, threw alot of punches and showed power in both hands.

if Floyd fights Ortiz he officially has more balls than Pacquiao or at least Arum

[Champ Is Here]

Thats cool... but its still a tuneup lol

And its not going to happen

[mustangpogi]

Is he going to ask for OST?

I gotta give credit where it is due.. If Floyd fights Ortiz, it will be a very acceptable fight. IFbeing the keyword

Mayweather vs Ortiz will be a great fight.
Victor is has the energy and youth to put pressure on Floyd and Make him fight.

It will be one of Floyd's more entertaining fights.
I got Mayweather stopping Ortiz in 9 rounds.........

Victor was huge for jww and a big welter. Last person floyd stopped was Ricky hatton, a jww. I don't see Floyd stopping victor, but I can see a good scrap and pin point precision by Floyd to earn a wide ud

[-Spinal-]

How the hell can anybody think this is a "good" fight?

Ortiz is a chinny twat who literally gave up in the middle of a fight because he "didn't want to get hit in the face anymore".

What, he beats Berto (a B- guy on his best day), and all of a sudden Ortiz is legit?

GTFO.

Other than a Pacquiao fight which is clearly not happening due to differences in negotiations, what other WW do you want to see Floyd against?

There are people who have no complaint about Pacquiao's opponents because he's "at least fighting". But Floyd, they needs to come out of vacation and fight, if he does it, there's something wrong with all of his opponents. So why even fight? Just retire, no opponent is good enough, and those who are good enough, will all of a sudden be bums/too small/too old/past prime/shot if Floyd beats them. Either just retire or fight who ever you want without listening to anybody, just fight Calderon, or Juan Manuel Lopez or something, people will complain regardless of who Floyd fights.
