    I think Floyd has slipped more than most people realize and it will show up on Saturday night. Mosley wasn't very capable of exposing it but Ortiz is.

    That being said, I think Floyd will win, but it won't be impressive.

        Oh come on man you know I like Floyd. I'm just sayin what we all know--his time is VERY near. No one can keep their reflexes forever.

            wide decision or stoppage wether its tko or ko etc or fight stop on cuts caused by headbutt and floyd won most of the rounds. on floyds part. wide decision is 117 and higher.even 8 rounds to 4 is still a wide decision so 116 and higher.basically if ortiz wins more then 4 rounds you win.

                Floyd'll start out slow but settle in around 3rd or 4th. Ortiz better hurt him early. By 4th-5th, Thats when we'll see what ortiz is made of.

                  If Ortiz can win 4 rounds, then Mayweather is slipping and his performance is NOT impressive. Mayweather must win 9 rounds or any numerical equivalent so knockdowns can be included. If Floyd stops him I'm impressed and you win the bet, but not due to accidental headbutt--not impressive. Going to the scorecards prematurely due to headbutts and the bets off.

                  How does this sound?

                  This is true but Floyd does seem to have aged physically a little. Hopkins still looks good and he doesnt eat like **** either--his diet is disciplined. no mountain dew for hopkins.

                    Well Floyd hasnt taken any real punishment man and most of his gift is mental,the man can think on the go..thats what seperates fighters like him and hopkins from fighters who rely on physical gifts....boxing is a thinking mans sport in the long run..some fighters are physical freaks but they usually dont have long runs
