"Floyd, you ready for this," asked WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz shortly after completing the Camp Pendleton Sprint Triathlon this past Saturday. The race consisted of a 500 yard swim, 30K bike and 5K run.

Competing in the Men's 20-24 age group, Ortiz finished in 9th place with a time of 1 hour, 36 minutes and 56 seconds, placing him 223rd overall out of nearly 1000 competitors. There's no doubt that Ortiz will be in top condition when he steps into the ring to face Floyd Mayweather in less than 6 weeks

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS ON 24/7.

They're doing a ****** 24/7 for this fight? While they seem cool, I think some fighters get distracted being filmed and hyped up.

That's impressive but not that impressive. A thug ass triathlon is a 2 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run.

Yeah, but it takes your body weeks to recover from that Ironman.

Something that rigorous would be detrimental to his real training.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this really doesn't translate to the ring that much....how many great champions were triathletes during their careers? I would rather hear that he is working on a gameplan since he doesn't have one yet according to what he said on the face-off...

Why don't fighters decline that crap? Do they get paid to be on Lopez, CNN, and so on?
