The Racket Squad: Beware The Ides Of 2011

Prepare for the end of all speculation regarding May and Pac.
It may never happen which would not signal the end of the earth.
At times, The most dangerous man is the cat with nothing to lose.
To discount Ortiz or Marquez is ridiculous.

Floyd's legs may not be willing to pay a harsh price against a tough southpaw, regardless of Victors inexperience.

Marquez may still have Pac's number, even at 144 pounds.

This year could end with quite a **** and a donut the size of California in Floyd's future earnings.
No Manny, no retirement fund for 'Casino.'

I always find it funny on this site how quick people are to jump on the hate or love ****wagon of either Floyd or Manny. I swear, every time Mayweather says something people call him a ***** or hug his nuts like now tomorrow. Every time Manny is brought up, people accuse him of being a roider or hug his nuts. Yes, they both have their moments, but can we just enjoy what's given? Sheesh...

With that said. Roach has a point. Ortiz is not only the best option outside of Manny, BUT he IS a southpaw. And a dominant win over Ortiz definitey can't hurt Floyd in prepping for Manny.

Because he'll take another legacy defining fight with Barrera as opposed to fighting Mayweather or Martinez, the only fighters boxing fans want him to fight.

no actually manny's legacy was already cemented..the only fight people wanna see is between pac and floyd..other than that its nothing..

[kidrak]

Floyd's preparing for Martinez

so you dont wanna see floyd vs pac?

[Ether]

Ortiz is no tune up.

"It's a bad decision to pick someone so difficult, so strong, etc."

I think that's exactly how you wanna prepare for Pac. If I was going into the biggest fight of my life, I'd step it up too..

I'm thinking the same thing, it is finally to look like floyd is actually preparing to fight manny. This would be fantastic news no doubt, but I'll believe it when I see it. Looking like u wanna make the fight is one thing, actually making the fight and stepping in that ring is quite another. I've been burned to many times with this song and dance.

I agree. His legacy was cemented from '22-'30... So why is he fighting Marquez?

[Major Motoko]

wtf, thats obviously the single dumbest all around post ive ever read.. this dude must be 13 14 yrs old dont u have summer school to attend??

Never heard of summer school, must have been something you had to go to.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

The only thing they have in common is that they're southpaws. And even then, Ortiz is right handed.
