    Exactly.

    Floyd has faced faster, stronger and more technical and skilled fighters than Ortiz. If Floyd struggles, its because of the age difference, long lay-off or because Floyd isn't the same anymore. Not taking anything away from Ortiz though.

      If PBF loses 3 rounds you think he should quit, based solely on that? I don't think so. But honestly, there's nothing left for him to do after this fight. We've been teased about Pac-PBF long enough. It's not interesting anymore. I suspect this will be his last fight, no matter what happens. But I wouldn't say PBF ought to retire in shame if ring rust allows Ortiz to land a little bit.

        I don't think he's shot if he wins a fairly close fight, so if he wants to continue I would see no problem with it.

        Personally though, I think both Pac and Floyd should retire if they won't fight each other.

          **** you talking about?! If it was Amir Khan fighting Floyd you would be saying, Floyd was in his prime when Amir beat him.

            If he struggles with Ortiz I'ts because he's not trying. If he fought Pac he'd give his all.

              This Amir hasn't got much chance in beating Floyd either. If Floyd lost to Amir now, it would be because of Floyd, not Amir.

                No. But what if Floyd gets hit way more often than his previous fights, misses alot more and doesn't take advantages of Ortiz's openings?

                  Floyd will struggle early on and then built a big lead typical

                  Floyd is gonna school Ortiz and Manny is going to destroy Marquez what a shocker! Somebody should be fighting martinez, williams , bradley devon and the list goes on

                    Ortiz doesn't suck. It would be a shock, but not an embarrassment for PBF to have a serious problem with him. Not dominating every minute of every round isn't a big deal here. Now if he got knocked down a couple times, cut badly, busted up, etc, then I'd say he needs to retire.
