    Jeeze, the poll numbers so far are laughable. Lets apply common sense here. Ortiz is younger, prime & coming off a career defining win. Marquez is nearing 40, fighting two weight classes north of his effective weight. He has been hurt & dropped by lightweight power. Ortiz has a good chance & Marquez has none.

At the least, it should be fun money to watch. Unless Mayweather gets on a bike for 10-12, which I have a strange feeling won't happen this time..
      Yea, that is as good a bet as any involving that fight, really whatever chance Ortiz has is from stoppage and he is mentally weak enough that Floyd could break him from there it is just a toss to complete the stoppage.

      Probably 50/50 so that is a good bet.

        I think Vic only has a puncher's chance, but like someone said before, Mayweather is still pretty resilient. So I guess I'll go with Vic, even though I don't think his puncher's chance will be good enough
        I agree for the most part. Except, that I think JMM can win by decision if Manny hasn't improved at all from their second fight. We'll see how truly Pac has improved in this fight, especially against one of the best combination counterpunchers.

          My feeling is this. Ortiz has about 4 rounds early to capitalize on knocking Mayweather out. Not his only chance to do it, but the odds will only decrease from said point on.

          In the event that Mayweather begins boxing the ears off of Ortiz. Will Ortiz be willing to continue coming forward? Even as his punches become wider and easier to anticipate for Mayweather? I'm thinking yes. I think the Maidana fiasco has brought him to the point mentally where he'll be more inclined to go out on his shield than avoid additional punishment in the moment.

          Will Mayweather be willing to sit down on his punches as the fight drags on into the later rounds? Yes I think he will. Ortiz imo is more likely to go out like Hatton than like Mosley, and in this particular fight.. I think Mayweather will be happy to oblige.
