Can Mayweather KO/TKO Ortiz?

[KitangKatag]

Floyd will feather-punch Ortiz to 12th round UD!

[Alx.]

ko? dont think so but he will wear him down with counter punches on the way to a tko probably

[S1MANC]

One punch knockout = NO
Ortiz Check Hooked/Or runs onto to something = Possibly
Ortiz corner/referee stopping the fight = YES quite possible

Mayweather as deceptive power, but I doubt he has the power to KO ortiz with one punch.

I agree with the above poster claiming Mayweather has appeared troubled (maybe the wrong word) by south paws, I'm sure I even recall reading that Mayweather Snr once said that he doesnt want his son to fight another southpaw again (not 100% but I do recall something to that nature being said). But with that said Mayweather wont have any trouble dealing with Ortiz, who I feel is a little too green to be causing Mayweather any trouble. At best if in the opening rounds Ortiz seems to be having any form of success Mayweather will close up shop (ala the Sugar Shane fight) by dictating the tempo to cruise to a UD.

It's obvious to anyone that this is a tune up fight; come fight night Mayweather wouldnt of been in a competitive fight for 16 months by the third round it'll be back to usual business.

so I'm sure Floyd will be disciplined enough to keep a high guard, as the shoulder roll is susceptible to right hooks over the top.

explain this to me, i honestly cant wrap my head around how shoulder rolling makes you succeptable to right hooks? i just cant see it easy enough to land clean on my head or even close to flush with me rolling.

(im not trolling)

and yea its possible for floyd to KO him, but I dont see floyd taking the risk to try with ortiz especially after that vacation

This should be an easy fight, if maidana can ko ortiz then floyd should have no problem ko'ing ortiz.

Late KO

Floyd will lose the first 2 rounds - the Ortiz Fans will be excited. Then FLoyd will catch up to him and stop him.......... Floyd is looking to make a statement, and he will, then when he has the nuts to face PAc, he gets knocked out in 9.

[Pastrano]

Nope, not by a long shot! Can't believe how many you *****s voted yes. You got another thing coming. You REALLY think Scaredweather can ko a bigger, stronger and younger Ortiz?! He won't even dare to try.

I see a jab and pot shot festival for floyd after ortiz threw like 50 jabs in his last fight. floyd wont have to worry about a jab comin at him. Wide ud for floyd.

I'll meet you halfway and call it a slight exaggeration. I probably should have used the phrase "noticeable adversity" instead of "significant adversity." You are right that he definitely recovered from both times being hurt and took his opponent apart after keeping them from capitalizing on initially hurting him, but there is no doubt that he was hurt, and things can happen when a boxer is stunned, such as a follow up punch hurting him to the point that he cannot continue the fight and would lose by some sort of stoppage.

Plus, each fight is different. I definitely am not confident or even thinking that a Ortiz stoppage win is probable, in fact, I'd say the chances of it happening are pretty slim. However, if Ortiz does end up hurting Mayweather Jr. (especially early), it will be another test of Floyd's skills to see if they can help him survive long enough to recover. Just because he survived the follow-up onslaughts of Judah (who is notorious for being a poor finisher when he hurts someone) and Corley (he hurt Cotto but couldn't finish him off, so he is obviously not the best finisher in the world either), does not guarantee that he will survive a follow-up barrage of punches from Ortiz if he gets hurt.

I agree on some of your points. Ortiz is the strongest southpaw he's faced imo but I think there's a real good chance Mayweather would be able to recover if he gets caught unless its such a good shot that has Mayweather disorientated and on real shaky legs. I mean I think he has too much experience and composure whereas I doubt Ortiz's ability to finish especially since he had so much trouble finishing off Peterson (granted it was @ 140).

In his last 2 fights, Floydie failed to KO his opponents, he simply won by UD.

Floydie, isn't in his prime, his inactivity and his multiple court suits filed against him will definitely affects his performance.
