Whether Maywetaher chooses to go toe to toe or not, which I don't believe he will do so, Ortiz simply has no chance.
After watching more of Ortiz, he is a fairly basic boxer. Whewn he comes, you know what to expect, and he doesn;t have many angles, or spectacular speed either.
The Maidana fight showed him at his worse, he coudln't take getting hit. He was young and quit. This fight did show me he was vulnerable, and rumours have it that Ortiz doesn't like getting hit at all (I will go onto the Berto fight soon).
After that fight, I saw a come back fight at 142 or 144, where he looked OK, and a Perterson fight where he did impress me early on. However, even though I felt he won, it showed me that if you move around, Ortiz's main strength, his power is nullified.
This is where I do not really hold the Berto fight well for him VS Floyd. Floyd firstly is smart, very smart and will move around. Even if he decides to stabnd to toe toe, he has great eyes and wll read Ortiz, block him and counter that fast straight right all day long to earn the rounds. Ortiz needs you to stand toe to toe, like Berto did, who I would say had no legs to move around and his defense is shakey. If you stand there, then Ortiz would have a good chance to win, but no way can he KO Floyd who has a great chin.
Ortiz will never win more than 3 rounds. He simply isn't sensational in any area.
Floyd UD. Easy fight.
