Comments Thread For: Roach: Floyd Picked Ortiz For Manny; Schaefer Says No

[LeadUppercut]

Exactly... but that won't happen after he sparks Marquez. You'll get Barrera III, Cotto II, or Cintron.

Or Morales IV

Obviously Im ******ed. I beleive Victor Ortiz is no tune up. We all know hes leagues ahead of Manny and Floyd in terms of skill, speed, strength, and heart. Come September 17th, Victor Ortiz will kill Mayweather in round one and become boxings next SUPERSTAR! then I will kill myself bcz my ******ation is over welming me. I wish I was floyd DAMN I HATE MYSELF

Calm down young ****** things will get better for you.

Bam bam sucks worst fighter ive seen out of all the top 130s and up!!
Mike jones would make him look dumb juan diaz would whoop him.

Victor gets tired and he wont have a chance of winning at all but jab would be key to victory !

Vic will be prepared for that fight, and stamina should not be an issue.

But Ortiz establishing a jab, will be an issue.

Vic is my boy, but his lack of a consistant dominant jab is concerning.

The problem is, he does have a jab, and he looks good when using it in training, and contrary to popular belief Vic did use his jab early in the Berto fight. The problem is, in two of the later rounds (I'm guessing 7-8, or maybe it was 8-9?) the complete lack of anything resembling a jab really cost Ortiz in that fight. I believe that he would have been more dominant and possibly may have knocked Berto TFO if he had established a jab and worked everything behind it.

Those two rounds were painful to watch, I cant believe that Garcia wasnt screaming at him from the corner, he should have at least climbed into him between those rounds. It was glaringly obvious, and tough to watch.

Martinez is a pipe dream andit aint happening. Still kind of amused at that idea. I would love to see it but it isn't happening.

other then being Left Handed, I don't even seen the ***in connection between Ortiz and Pacquiao so how does this prepare Mayweather for Pacquiao?

You could be right, although it is far more likely that Mayweather would fight Sergio than it would be for Pac to step up.

Imagine how I feel when I see one Pac's little soldiers claiming that Pac would love to fight Martinez if only Arum wasnt holding him back ?

Floyd's preparing for Martinez

Never gonna happen, unless martinez gets KTFO by another fighter

Agree'd. I'd LOVE to see the fight. But some ridiculously ****** demand is gonna pop up or some dumbass fight is gonna show and that'd be that. This is one of the things I hate most about boxing...most of the great fights never seem to happen when they should, and when they do happen, what could have been, would be gone =/

No bull, Left. It's sad, but unfortunately, that's what boxing has dwindled down to. But there's still gems that happen when least expected in some of the fights we don't ordinarily expect to be great. Adamek-Cunningham, Funeka-Guzman I, Arce-Vazquez recently... As a fan of the sport, I enjoy watching most cards be it on HBO, Showtime, telefutura, espn... It's when it comes to this stuff, it's annoying because it hijacks the sport.

It would cripple Pac's resume in relation to Mayweather's.

The issue about who has the better resume, and who faces the better opponents, would not even be debatable.

You already know, Lead. For years, all Pac riders would do is 'two' on Mayweather's resume [despite the fact that Pacquiao's done nothing but follow suit].

Ortiz is a problem and should Mayweather do it big, I'd wouldn't be surprised if he tried to do it grand by fighting Martinez.
