      Margo = End of Career , Long lay off , Came of bad beating , CW in a 26 ft ring with 8oz gloves , Slow plodding style .

      Ortiz = Touching prime , Coming of biggest win , Strong at WW , Fast .Hits hard , South Paw .

      Now add that Floyd is coming back after a year out .

      Its not hard to figure the more competitive fight .

          Ortiz could possibly raise his level while Floyd could possibly slip a bit because of his time away~

          Manny was on top of his game at that point and Margarito looked to be on the slide.

          The first looks a lot more risky than the second but whatever way you want to look at it~

            lets just hope it leads to something bigger
            Indeed...only thing fans have to worry about is based on Manny's close fights with JMM and Floyds lay off it's not completely out of the question that both could possibly lose and then it would be horrible. I see both winning but who knows anything could happen at this point.

              i don't think ortiz will be competetive at all. he'd be outboxed.

              i thought the same on margarito but he hit pacquiao more than any other opponent if im not mistaken.

                This is another reason why Mayweather alway outsell Pac, He alway fight fighters who are coming off impressive wins even if that fighter doesn't stand a chance against him in reality.

                    I don't think Ortiz will be competitive either really but that is a real risk because there are the unknowns like have we really seen the best of Ortiz and is Floyd going to slip.

                    I didn't think Margarito would be very competitive and he really wasn't outside of a couple moments. He took much more than he gave.
