    Floyd didn't stop JMM because he couldn't. Had JMM been a naturally bigger guy, Floyd wouldn't have fought him.

      Come on man. Once he knocked him down in the second he could've destroyed him but decided not to. Floyd usually fights naturally bigger guys as he moves up in weight. Too much hatin on a monday morning.

          Floyd has the accuracy and timing to put Ortiz away. Berto was able to drop Ortiz a couple times so I think Mayweather is capable of doing it but the question is will he try to do it.

          He could have seemingly finished Marquez off but its not in his nature to finish opponents. I think he will choose to box his way to a decision. Once he has Ortiz under control he will cruise through and let his skills take care of Ortiz. I can see a flash knockdown when a clean counter punch is landed but not a KO.

          The worst thing Ortiz can do is hurt Floyd and make him fight. Once Shane did that in round 2 , Floyd became very alert got his hands up and took the fight to Shane. Im sure Floyw ould have been quite happy to hand out a boxing lesson that night but once Shane showed his danger Floyd had to put a beating on him. Same with Ortiz. He can do this the easy way or the hard way. Settle for a points defeat like Marquez or suffer the consequences of trying to win.

            Exactly Floyd went thru the motions them first two rds and after that it was all business. Lets be serious for second Marquez never gets stopped knocked down yeah. Floyd landed at 57% connect rate and Marquez at 12% I'm sure if he wanted to he could have stopped him but he needed the rounds. I think Floyd has a very good shot of stopping Victor as he gotten older Floyd punches better and is stronger look at his body in hatton fight and his body in Shane its real difference. Most of these guys on this board are idioits.

              Ortiz could stand in the center of the ring with his hands tied behind his back and let Mayweather tee off with hayemakers for 12 three minute rounds and not only will he not be knocked out, his face will still look exactly the same as it did before he got into the ring.

              Thats what happens when you fight a guy that can't punch, has the bone strength of a 80 year old woman and isn't man enough to wear Reyes inside the ring.

                I disagree. You could see it in the 2nd, when he put Marquez down with a lazy left hook. Mayweather easily could have put Marquez down enough or done enough damage to stop him, but he decided to carry him.

                    but to answer the question, of course floyd can stop victor.

                    hate to day it but this is going to be a rather easy fight for floyd, vic just can't do anything better than floyd in the ring, he just may be a little stronger and that's it.

                    i'm not looking forward to vic getting beat up, really.

                      I'm actually expecting a Floyd vs Gatti like performance.
