I noticed that he had his feet spread further than Shanes were. Which makes you less mobile. He didn't have the bounce & latteral movement that he should have. Also in round 1 of their fight he pulled straight back on a Mosley lounge in. Then Mosley stopped & they resumed fighting in the center of the ring. I've also noticed Floyd looked off balance in the begining of the Judah fight until Judah started to slow after round 4 (southpaw stance).

I pointed these things out because Ortiz in the Berto fight was making sure that he got off 1st & last. Even when he lounged in & Berto tried to move & when he thought he had created distance Ortiz was still firing away. I'm telling you guys again that Ortiz is gonna catch Floyd with something big. If he comes into this fight like how he did with Berto, jaws are going to be dropping all over the place.

IMO, this fight really isn't any different from the Berto fight for Ortiz. He was supposed to get beaten then, just like he is now. I know a lot of fans are gonna start saying that berto was overhyped anyway, which in a sense he was. But no one can sit there & say that Ortiz wasn't the heavy underdog, anyway. The difference of course being that Ortiz should be very confident in his ability this time & will be out to prove it.

Actually....its TOTALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY from the Berto fight for Vic.

It's vastly different.

Floyd's legs are in bad shape - was interesting to see Max call him out on it during face-off. Dangerous fight for Floyd because he's going to have to stand and trade. And yes, he will get caught. Will see what happens when that occurs.

I don't mean the opponent physically, I mean the situation. The situation going into the fight is the same as far as how he's percieved. I'm not compairing Berto & Floyd physically. If you were confused I hope this clarifies for you.

Hatton also looked good in the first few rounds against Mayweather, as have a few of Floyd's opponents. Ortiz best and only chance is to catch Mayweather early before Floyd adjusts. Floyd makes adjustments better than any other fighter in the game. So unless Floyd has gotten old over the last 16 months, Ortiz has no chance after round 3.

The Hatton fight was four years ago.

I don't see how.

In the Berto fight did Ortiz have to endure several draining media days?

Did Ortiz have tons of camera's in his gym contantly?

Did he have this amount of spotlight on him with people watching his every move?

The media all over him?

Was the stage this big or was it just one of his normal fights?

It's really not the same.
