Will Mayweather vs Ortiz be competitive?

[Jamel H]

As soon as Floyd makes the right adjustments it's target practice.

Yup your right about that, Ortiz likes to come straight in similar to Rick Hatton but just a little more aggressive

Pac vs Floyd is a much more competitive fight and is a pick em fight. Manny aint my hero either, but I understand fully that even the slightest criticism of Floyd will have you branded as a ******* by *****'s in this forum, even if it aint the case. It will probably always be that way too. Sad,very sad.

I don't see how it's a pick 'em fight at this point. Pacquiao has phenomenal endurance and stamina. He seems to be able to fight 12 rounds without getting winded. Aside from that, his skills are not that impressive. Take away that stamina and what do you have?

Who knows, maybe after doing OST that stamina won't be there anymore...

It will be floyd's hardest fight for several reasons.

1. Ortiz is a stronger southpaw than Judah.
2. Ortiz will be as big as the Oscar that Mayweather faught, but with better leg speed and stamina.
3. Ortiz moves his head a lot. He might leave his left hand down, but he slips and weaves punches like the southpaw Judah did which troubled Mayweather early on.
4. Ortiz knows how to cut the ring pretty damn good, and is good at phone booth fighting, but he's gonna be too big to pot shot.
5. Peterson troubled Mayweather in sparring, and Peterson got a gift draw against a drained Ortiz.
6. Ortiz had the power to knock Maidana down 3 times which not even Khan couldn't do in a matter of 12 rounds after throwing 700+ punches.
7. Mayweather's shoulder roll defense is not very affective against southpaws.
8. Floyd hasn't been the older fighter in the ring for a long time. He's usually the younger lion, but the scripts have flipped.

I think this fight is gonna be more competiyive than people think. Ortiz has all the tools to make this competitive, and the youth and power to make it interesting.

I don't think this is gonna be as easy of a fight for Floyd as people think. Berto is nowhere in Floyds league but I don't think Floyd has the power to hurt Ortiz the way Berto did, and Victor looks very strong at 147.

Floyd will be favored but I think this will be more competitive than people think.

not at all

mayweather is leagues above ortiz

the only factor is how much speed mayweather has left- we haven't seen him in a while, but even if he's not what he used to be , he'll still out-think ortiz and fight a way to break him down.

floyd outboxes him to a ud but its better than the pac marquez fight.

[Sheppirino]

I'm in agreement with the majority of the posters on here. In that it may be competitive during the first few rounds but after that Floyd takes over. When Floyd fought Judah and Corley years ago those two southpaws did have a little success early in the fight. I can see how an aggressive southpaw like Ortiz could do the same.

But after that it should be a clinic.

Pac dominates his opponent = "Its a Mismatch"
Floyd dominates his opponent = "He's brilliant"
