    Is Floyd ready for a loss?

    Floyd has been one of the most dominant fighters I've seen. Takes a lot just for him to lose a round. I'm starting to think he feels his time is coming to an end though.

    Floyd choosing Ortiz is, in my opinion, the boldest move he has made in his career. To this point, every opponent has been a calculated risk and good business. Ortiz will be good business for him too, but he is also perhaps the biggest risk out there, and I know that Floyd is aware of that. His words reflect a different attitude leading up to this fight than I am used to.

    I think his long layoffs and acting out outside the ring were a precursor to this state of mind. I think he had some bad premonitions. I believe that is why he threw a wrench in the works with Pac. He had some doubts and needed time to resolve his concerns.

    I think he is embracing his fate, and looking to go out as a champ taking on the best. I respect him for that.

      I don't think you give Ortiz enough credit.

      I'm not a fan of May, but if he EASILY handles Ortiz, I really will have no choice but to give him the utmost respect as a fighter. I couldn't have asked for Floyd to fight a better guy outside Pac.

        Floyd is fighting a credible fight in Ortiz
        it's not a special or threatening fight
        it's just a tuneup
        Ortiz can't beat Floyd on Floyd's worst day

          Will this be the last ride for Floyd's precious "0"? Well tune in Sep.17 to find out.

            Ortiz has a 50-50 shot I believe. If he can land with the left hand on Floyd he can win a close fight I think. He really might be able to

                I think he'll be able to land some lefts and some right hooks. Floyd can't neutralize southpaw angles as well as he does with orthodox, less so when the guy can force him into trading.

                  you are either giving floyd way to much credit or ortiz way to little... Ortiz is a young hungry fighter, who happens to be a southpaw (something that has given floyd trouble in the past) and also happens to have single punch knockout power in both hands... to say he has "no chance" is ridiculous... I'm gonna have to say you probably hate floyd and are trying to discredit his opposition, am i right?
