      I actually thought Floyd looked pretty ****.

      He basically coasted most of that fight. when he did step it up, it was clear he was light years ahead of Ortiz.

      Still should school Pacquiao but I was far from impressed.

        Would Joe Louis have done it? Maybe not. But Jack Dempsey did:

        And you sure as hell know that Roberto Duran would have done it.

          And what made it even worse it that Larry Merchant didn't get to ask the question that everyone wanted to hear. "Why are you duckin and dodging Pacquiao?"

          Floyd know that question was coming so he told a 80 year old man who has been in boxing longer than Floyd has been alive he doesn't know **** about boxing? Merchant has forgotten more about boxing than Floyd will ever know and thats real talk.
          Agree completely.

          No one talks about floyds elbow in ortizs throat

          before the head butt.

          And Ortiz was very much in the fight just landed

          a combo that dipped floyds legs and ge went flying into

          the ropes.

          Do Floyd fans think he wanted to fly into the ropes from

          a right hook?

              You're as bad as Jim Lampley man...overreacting to anything Ortiz did. Look at the ounch stats man. Floyd out landed him 73-26 through 4 rounds, and Floyd starts fights slow, plus he was coming off 16 months of inactivity. Ortiz was getting to him??? He got Mayweather on the ropes for about 5-10 seconds a few times, and landed about 2 or 3 punches, and the crowd (along with Lampey) go nuts!!! He headbutted Floyd because he got him on the ropes real quick and landed a couple punches, Floyd held and dodged his other punches, or they landed on his arms and shoulders. Mayweather had out landed over 20 punches in round 4 when Ortiz headbutted him deliberately, and Ortiz had landed 26 punches int he entire fight up tot hat point.

              If you can't see that Ortiz (who was viewed as the #2 WW in the world, out weighed Floyd by 14 lbs, who Pacquiao and Roach said had a great chance to win, and when all these other people said Ortiz was going to shock the world) was being clearly out-classed and out-pointed....YOU'RE DELUSIONAL. In round 4 Ortiz' face was starting to swell and Floyd's punches were starting to take effect. Even when Floyd landed that quick 3-4 punch combo, Ortiz's reaction was like "What the hell do I do now?". For real, when Mayweather out lands someone by a huge margin for about 2:40 in a round, you Floyd haters go nuts because the other guys gets him on the ropes for 0:20 and lands 3 or 4 punches. It's sad. People just want to see Mayweather lose, and it's funny as hell. Mayweather looked better than my pre-fight prediction. I thought the fight would be even after 4-5 rounds. Floyd was winning decisevely up until Ortiz' headbutt.

              By the way, Ortiz got what he deserved. You want to headbutt someone intentionally and then try and kiss/hug them immediately, and than try and hug them again when the fight is stopped, and than when the ref motions you both back to the center and says "Time In" and the timekeeper starts the clock, you try it again, you deserved to get knocked out. Mayweather wante dno part of his punk hugs, and when the ref said time in and they were in the middle of the ring, its on! And Mayweather knocked him out. I agree with Dan Rafael....we don't need a rematch, but I don't care if it happens. I don't need a rematch to realize that Ortiz was getting out-pointed clearly by a guy who'd been off 16 months, and the point in the fight where Ortiz is suppose to be at his best and where Floyd is suppose to be at his most vulnerable.

              Also, look back at the fight. Ortiz was leaning forward with his head into Mayweather's chin ALL NIGHT LONG whenever there was a clinch. And you Floyd haters want to talk about "Floyd throws elbows"???? Get outta here! You guys are starting to sound as delusional as Danny Garcia.

                Outside of the angry angry angry Pacterds, the boxing community all agrees that what Floyd did was legal. Had every right to throw the punch and even concluded that in round 8 vs Mosley, he did THE EXACT same thing. Again this is not ***g*t kiss and grab ass, you play that game and you will get punched JUST like Mosley did.

                Just like HBO, who said Floyd had every right to punch Mosley for talking and wanting to touch gloves. Just like Pac and Mosley did for 12 rounds a boring lackluster fight where people started to question whether or not Pac and Mosley were going to make out in the ring.

                This is boxing, protect yourself at all times. You want to play ***g*t kiss and grab ass, go to MMA... outside of the angry Pacterds, everyone has agreed that Floyd was right, was winning the fight, and totally DOMINATED every round. Pacterds are THE ONLY ones saying but but but but but but but but but but but but but but............ but but but but but but but but but...... but but but but..... that's not what all time greats do... actually, yes it is. Do your research bytches....

                  I felt the same in my initial reaction after watching the fight. However after re-watching it I think Floyd looked pretty damn good. Strong, fast and was aggressive like he said he would be. He totally dominated the fight. One of the judges gave Ortiz the first round, all three had him winning every other round and the compu-box statics reflect this. Its funny to read that some people "think" Ortiz won rounds 2 and was winning 4 as that is completely BS. Either

                  A. they are completely biased.
                  B. just ****ing ******ed
                  C. All the above

                  The only people who didn't think Floyd dominated the fight are pacterds and they're the only ones who think Floyd was in the wrong. They're so angry and frustrated they don't even realize just how dominate the performance was and they don't even realize that the boxing community backs Floyd just like they did when Floyd punched Mosley in the face in round 8 back in May 2010.

                  Like you said, Floyd schools Pac. You think pacterds are mad about Ortiz, there will be entire new level of hate when Floyd makes Pac look worse than he did vs old man not so good Mosley. Yet they will jump ship and claim that Floyd is ducking (insert name) and the process starts all over again.

                    Is this another way to take credit away from Floyd Mayweather or a way to criticize boxing? You have to remember that boxing is unpredictable for the most part and it's a sport of intelligence. If we take a look back in time and remember all the boxing greats we learn one thing, and that is that extraordinary fighters do things out of the ordinary. That's what Floyd did against Ortiz. It's hard to accept failure and for some it's hard to accept reality. Maybe this is because some people pick a fighter with their hearts and not their brains. This does not hurt boxing in anyway. It only makes it more interesting and definitely more entertaining. I know I've been guilty of saying "I will never pay for another fight again" but then curiosity creeps in and as we all know, curiosity killed the cat.

                      the buzz created by the fight helps boxing because it got a lot of play in the media -- controversy has always been a mainstay of boxing's popularity -- oh, and for those delusional people who are claiming that Ortiz was 'coming on strong' etc. -- he was being out punched 3-1, MW was starting to hit him with almost everything he was throwing with increasing effect and Ortiz was starting to bull rush him out of frustration and desperation -- and the fight had only gone a few rounds at that point!
