I still think Floyd will win, but would you rather have Floyd fight besides Pacquiao and Martínez? Seriously, does anyone think he'd come back after a 1 and a half year layoff to go up against the bigger Martínez or Pacquiao?
The only person I know who's been known to do something that insane was Ray Leonard when he came back after a three (or four) year layoff to challenge THE middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Despite the performance, the decision is highly debated to this date.
There's nothing wrong with this fight ASSUMING it'll eventually lead to a fight with either Martínez or Pacquiao.
And yes, as always, Floyd will start off the fight cold as he usually does.
However, I DO NOT think Ortiz will quit. I don't think he would quit because he's getting potshot to death. The worst case scenario is Ortiz getting badly beat-up en route to a 10-8 round without a knockdown or something like that, but I seriously doubt he'll quit. I'm sure he doesn't want to receive the [unnecessary] bad press he received when he quit against Maidana.
Anyway, at its worst, Floyd wins 116-112. At his best, Floyd outpoints Ortiz 119-109.
The fight will be intersting in the first four rounds, though. Afterwards, it'll fall into a pattern.

pac vs floyd is the only fight that makes sense for both fighters. they'll beat everyone else decisively.
the difference is at least pac has actually been fighting twice a year.

Is that right??Would they really beat everyone else decisively though??But that's not really the difference now is it.Floyd may be more inactive,but his last 2 fights were indeed against fighters coming off of impressive wins homey.Now when was the last time that Pacman did that??

Letter D of your cornball list proves you know nothing about boxing to assume Bob would place Cotto in the ring vs Floyd knowing Cotto would have to take tests further damaging negotiations for a future fight with Pacquiao.
As for Sergio, Im a huge fan of his.. Even he says Floyd is the best. How can you avoid someone who campaigns in a weightclass you haven't fought in for 4 years... I know someone who just fought at that weightclass within a year against someone bigger than Sergio and as a matter of fact snatched Sergio's "vacant" belt after the WBC forced him out...
The irony of boxing....
LOL what a douchebag........................everybody knows floyd avoided cotto for the longest time.................
