    Some Floyd fans I've seen on youtube have said that Ortiz is a better boxer than Pacquiao.

    Pretty sure Karceno or whatever the **** his name is had a youtube video claiming that. I wonder if he took it down when people made so many comments cracking jokes at him. Doesn't Karceno post here or is that just someone making fun of him pretending to be him?

      I think Ortiz is exciting, and i also think Floyd is fighting the next best ww he can fights. So kudos to him.

      I have no illusions however that Ortiz will pose a great deal of trouble to floyd. This should be a dominating performance.

      But who the **** knows. The guys over at HBO does a great job with 24/7. Hell, it fooled me to believe Hatton actually stood a chance against Floyd.
      I'll probably be tricked, and sit here hyped up with adrenaline rushing in september.

          Alexander the fraud, yet another overrated American hypejob who got owned by an Eastern European.

          He was outclassed, schooled, exposed, dominated and humiliated by Ukrainian warrior Andriy Kotelnyk.

          Kotelnyk-Alexander was the worst robbery of 2010.

              But from there he just never got any better.
              He didn't crush Urango though. He did really well in the first 4 or 5 rounds, then Urango started winning all the rounds, and then Alexander caught him with a perfect punch. Alexander was not destroying Urango.

              He was certainly overhyped by many. He's young enough to turn it around and become a decent champion, but I highly doubt he'll ever be a fighter near the top of the p4p list, like people were once saying.

                It is incredibly annoying the level of of hype Ortiz is getting now, because of freaking Andre Berto. I'll admit I underestimated Ortiz against Berto, but that win doesn't prove him anywhere near capable of competing, let alone beating, Floyd Mayweather. It's like everyone forgot the stretch from the Maidana fight to the Peterson fight.

                  I really don't care too much about if he's overrated or not, it's just listening to him talk and how highly he thinks of himself. He is also ugly as hell which makes it ten times more annoying.

                    to be fair most of the hype came from a hellish knockout against a guy with an iron chin



                    since that fight he hasn't set his feet and thrown one big punch

                    usually a guy who scores his first big knockout goes "that punch" happy

                    maravilla's dropping that left hand like a puncher these days
                    khan is throwing the hook to the body (after dropping chino with it)

                    etc



                    but yes


                    he fights most of the round like an amateur
