If Floyd struggles with Ortiz, Floyd should hang 'em up

[wazaa.]

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.

Agreed......

Don't get me wrong. This is a very legit fight. Ortiz is young, hungry and a talented top WW. He is also coming off his biggest win. But Floyd should have no problems with him at all. I expect Floyd to win by late stoppage.

Ortiz is a young hungary fighter and i think he beats khan if they ever meet.

What makes you think Floyd would struggle with Ortiz?

Peterson and Maidana basically made Ortiz an ordinary boxer.

Peterson and Maidana are not what you consider extraordinary boxers.

He beat Berto. Big deal. The thing in that fight was that if Berto out scored Ortiz in the 12th round even without knocking down Ortiz, Berto would have won the decision.

It was not a decisive win. It was made impressive because of Ortiz's huge heart.

Actually I agree, Floyd should outclass Ortiz... but I'm quite concerned that his long layoffs will have an effect on his performance. Ortiz shouldn't win more than 4 rounds really.

I expect Floyd to dominate Ortiz. No disrespect to Ortiz but if Floyd doesn't win convincingly, he is obviously not the same Floyd anymore.

This line of thinking makes no sense. How did your boy Amir Khan look against McCloskey? Should Amir retire? Did you see how bad Pacquiao looked against Mosley? Should he retire? How bad did Bernard Hopkins look against Roy Jones Jr. in their second fight? Bernard should've retired right?

Floydie' inactivity plus the multiple suit filed against him, will surely affects his performance against Ortiz.

Manny won every round with Mosley but he struggled doing it , should he hang them up , and Ortiz is lot more live dog than old Mosley was , I dont get the posters on this forum , its nothing but a haters paradise on NBS all that goes on here is one negative thread after another , if this and if that , threads that dont mean a thing just some kid whining with a hate agenda about somebody he dislikes , all in the guise of a boxing thread of nothing like this one .

But it's okay when you do it, right?

Anyway, I'm more surprised in Floyds choice of come back fights because I expected him to take on someone much easier for a tune-up. But lets be honest, Floyd was at the Berto/Ortiz fight for a reason (I think he was scouting Berto tbh) and he must have seen something in Ortiz that made him say "Yea, this guy will be a great COME BACK fight, I can beat him because of a, b & c."

I think it's to be expected for Floyd to be rusty but ya gotta give credit to Floyd though because Ortiz is no slouch. But I don't think Floyd needs more tune-ups after Ortiz like Roger said. Ortiz is better then a tune up but a winnable fight. As long as Floyd doesn't get knocked out or seriously hurt then there's no reason why he should quit.

A lot of boxing fans consider GAYweather retired until he fights a worthy opponent.

Fighting Maidana's leftover that spent most of his time inside the ring in a vertical position is a disgrace to all boxing fans.

Depends on what do you believe to be dominate.

My idea of Floyd dominating, is just ridiculously avoiding everything Ortiz has to offer and connect with just about every shot he throws.


But for some people that means, beat em up bad and knock them out. Which isn't something WW Floyd does.

You're right he should go fight Torrecampo's and Singsurat's leftover instead huh ******?

Fighters lose it's all part of the game, if you had been watching boxing for more than a year you would know this.
