Did Mayweather's cheap shots weaken Ortiz' chin?

We all know that when a boxer gets KO'd off their feet they either come back affraid or easier to hurt. Their chins are never the same. I think that Ortiz can beat Berto in the rematch but the only factor that remains is if his chin has cracked?

I don't believe so. Not from something like that. A quick KO loss is more mental, but given the circumstances, Victor should be fine. Now when you get beat down, then that can affect your chin. Look at Mayorga after the Trinidad fight. We won't really know until he fights again, but I don't see it being a problem.

Ortiz was always a bit chinny man.

But the floyd KO wasn't some devastating KO, he got up to his feet. He should be the same (his confidence could be a different story though).

[Phil Ivey]

If anything Maidana made Ortiz more dubious about his chin.

Mental effect possibly, physical effect no

[Young Money]

Ortiz always had a questionable chin.

It's like talking to a tree man.

He knocked a guy out with a 1..2.. That's pretty impressive..

I don't believe so. Khan was REALLY KO'd and came back stronger, as have many other fighters. Anyway, I don't believe that Ortiz was really KO'd, I think that he was astonished at the cheap shot and his brain may have been a little addled. I know that the first left hook was not very strong, and he seemed to think that the ref would do something about it when he was hit unawares by the right hand.

That applies to boxers who get beaten into submission or Jacksoned.

Floyd knocking out Ortiz wasn't that severe it was more a case of him not being able to beat the 10 count as opposed to him forgetting the fight took place. If anything he learnt a life lesson, protect yourself at all times.
