Comments Thread For: Mayweather on Ortiz: I Picked a Young, Strong, Solid Foe

[sigrab]

I don't particularly like Floyd, at least recently, but how in the hell can you not give him props for coming out of a year and a half long layoff to fight a young and strong fighter like Ortiz, who by the way is now the WBC WW champ?

Say what you want about Berto being overrated but he was still an undefeated fighter at that time with a lot of promise and he was decisively beaten by Ortiz.

Judging by Victor's last fight, it seems like WW is the perfect division for him.

Floyd picking him as his next foe is by no means a cherry pick, let's be clear about this.

Just think about it, Floyd is slowing down and obviously no longer in his prime and coupled with a long layoff makes this fight more compelling than ppl would like to give Floyd credit for.

Just because you don't like Floyd doesn't mean that you can justify calling everything that he does as ****.

Gayweather's fighting a young strong foe that spends much of his time vertically inside the ring.

Young, strong, and solid, that's all true but he still doesn't pose a real threat.

Like Manny past 5 opponents did right?

[LeadUppercut]

you pick a young.....green.....UNproven foe..........stop with your BS

It's better than an old foe, one who you know can no longer pull the trigger.

Ya fkn wally, Ortiz is better than Pac's last 7 opponents.

STRUGG, did you buy the Mosley fight ?

What about the Margarito fight ?

Clottey ?

Good choice Jr....

..I hope Floyd wins, Ortiz is not an easy task. I guess we have a final four for this year all set!

[Dan Gutierrez]

Cherry picking again Floyd. The people you are choosing to fight are people who are near retirement or young people with less experience. If you are really good like what your saying, then fight the best. Manny Pacquiao agreed to all your excuses. FIGHT MANNY FIGHT MANNY FIGHT MANNY FIGHT MANNY
