Can Victor Ortiz beat Floyd Mayweather Jr? Official Poll!

[Wazaa..]

How was Ricky Hatton not in his prime? Also, Ortiz has appeared more than crude at times. He has difficulty avoiding straight rights, and doesn't really use a jab. He will be eating right hands like tuna melts.

I guess he was in his prime physically, but he was never very good, was at his best at 140 and that style he had was a Mayweather wet dream.

I agree that Mayweather really hasnt fought anyone like Ortiz; a strong, southpaw in his prime.

castillo did beat mayweather, baldomir and hatton are different type of fighter than ortiz.

that being said, i still think the fight is like 60-75% mayweather, and 20-35% ortiz.

i give credit to mayweather for accepting this challenge

Ortiz does have a few things going for him. He's young, southpaw, and he does have some pop in his punches. I can see him having some success early in the fight. But once Floyd figures him out let's say in round 4 then it should be a clinic.

Well I'm not totally sure what to make of Ortiz yet either, but Imo Ricky wouldn't have drawn Lamont Peterson. Also not sold Ortiz would have handled Kostya. Considering Ortiz is baffled by right crosses among other things, I'm not convinced Ortiz' style is all that more refined or dynamic than Hatton's. I like the fight though.

Anyone can be beat, so of course he can, now how good are Ortiz's chances? In my opinion, not so good. Ortiz squares up too much which is why he's vulnerable to right hands. Floyd stops him, Victor is gonna get hit with some heavy heavy shots.

[MartinM.]

No.

I'm not the biggest FMJ fan, but this will be pretty easy work for him IMO.

Mayweather wouldn't be taking the fight if Ortiz had a chance of beating him.

What everyone is doing, myself included. Is imagining how Mayweather might lose based largely on their memories of Ortiz mugging Berto against the ropes and generally swarming Berto. However, Berto fights nothing at all like Mayweather. Was somehow still green himself and was clearly not at all prepared for what he went through.

Ortiz physical presence and fresh legs alone make this worth watching, but considering skill pay bills. This is very much Mayweather's fight to lose. I agree rd 4 could likely be a big indicator round.

General consensus seems to be Ortiz has 4 rounds to knock Mayweather Jr out. Sounds like a pretty exciting fight. Also the 24/7 should be excellent..
