Can Victor Ortiz beat Floyd Mayweather Jr? Official Poll!

[Pez]

I just don't see it. Floyd is on a ho. notha. level. I really like Ortiz but I don't think he's ready for a master boxer like Floyd.

[WarMaidana]

Unfortunately not, i dont give many people a chance to beat mayweather except possibly pacquiao, martinez and paul williams. Hopefully its a good fight, i say ortiz will make it scary for floyd at times but thats it. I doubt mayweather would take the fight if he can loose.

[HeavyHitter]

Cant see it happening myself. Floyd is too smart for Ortiz!

[sunny31]

No way everyone ****s on floyd and manny for their level of comp but it is all bull, they are just on another level to everyone else floyd by tko

[DrewWoodside]

quick hands...hungry and beaming with confidence right now...plus Floyd's been on the sideline for a long minute...i give Victor a 30% chance

This is right around where I have it currently.. Which is pretty decent. It wouldn't be so shocking if Mayweather aged a bit over night. I think he'll need his legs to win this fight. Can't afford to sit on the ropes in his shell with Ortiz I don't think.

come on guys, let's be realistic. who is there for floyd, really? he wanted none of margarito, cotto, pacman and martinez. this is definitely better than the spadafora fight.

this is an easy fight for floyd. but i love watching upsets. lol.

Maidana couldn't miss with his right hand, Peterson had similar success, and Berto was tagging him with right hand counters.

Good fight though, great choice of opponent for Mayweather.

No doubt, a smart move by Mayweather.

[DrewWoodside]

He won't see Floyd's counters.

This is a guy Floyd beat throwing 1 punch at a time and maybe some 2 punch combos to score. flurries will only be to get vic off of him...

haven't even gotten to the jab thing

Hopefully Ortiz will be willing and prepared to cut off the ring. Nothing would be worse than watching Ortiz follow Mayweather incapable of cutting off the ring. At the very least, Ortiz will need to be able to make Mayweather stand his ground. How sucessful Ortiz is in those exchanges when Mayweather stands firm is another story all together.

[The Gambler1981]

If Floyd is still Floyd probably not but that is unknown and if Floyd is not the same as he was Ortiz certainly has a shot.

He's definitely counting on the fact that Ortiz somehow has not figured out how to duck a good right hand. Is there any word on a possible location on the fight? He gave the Brit shoutout recently, is overseas a possibility?
