Nah, that wasn't the consensus.
The consensus was that Floyd would never get in the ring with someone like Ortiz who is capable of bringing that type of pressure with speed and power.
As we see, a draw to Peterson isn't so bad now is it... he had a bad fight against Maidana.. it's also clear to see just how big Ortiz is, and staying at 140 could of definitely hindered his maximum performance.
Berto is still a top 5 welterweight, whether paper champ or not, he could of had no title and he was still a young, prime, fast, undefeated, full fledged welterweight... and Ortiz steam rolled him.
Ortiz showed major strength and conditioning gains moving up to welterweight.
THat was one of the best possible matchups at welterweight that could of been made at the time.

Originally posted by mikemurni View PostOrtiz was also the guy who got KO'd by Maidana, should have lose against Peterson, and the guy who just beat a pampered and overrated paper WW champion.. In other words, he hasn't done enough to share the same ring with Floyd... That was the consensus here before the fight if you take out all the *****s in this forum... And lol on a tactical brawler comment...You mean he is boxer/puncher...

Originally posted by mikemurni View PostThat's a ton of excuses right there.. Were those even discussed when the fight was made.. Because I certainly didnt hear those bull**** before the fight.. In fact, the boxing fans were elated those fights were made simply because they were great fights.. But I will give you this
Castillo - people said he lost
Corales - dehydrated
Hernandez - over the hill
Mosley - inactive for 16 months, coming from 2 bad performance before Marg
Gotti - over the hill
Oscar- coming out of 1 year retirement, and had one fight against a human punching bag in Mayorga
Judah-coming of a loss against a bum
Baldomir - a bum
Hatton - was forced to move to higher weight class
JMM- was forced to move to 3 weigtht class, and was cheated on the scales
Its easy to criticize a fighter's resume in hindsight, if you have an agenda. That's why the only way to judge is what people think about the fight when it was made...
And yes, the boxing media who covered the sport in years are biased except you who recently got an account to join because you were so happy to discuss how Floyd svcker punch Ortiz on his way to KO win...
Mosley- fought him coming off a DRAW WITH SERGIO MORA?
Margarito- Punching bag...had 1 win in 2 years against a bum and was weight drained
Clottey- coming off a defeat
Cotto- coming off a debatable win and weight drained
Hatton- had the worst training camp ever, was over-trained and his head was nowhere near right for the fight
De La Hoya- dead man walking
And your criticising Mayweathers recent bouts? LOL LOL LOL

Problem with Floyd is people want to underrate him, but also want to overrate. This happens often with popular fighters from the last 20 years. It happens with Roy Jones, Calzhage, Pac, Trinidad, Klits, De La Hoya, Cotto, ect. The problem with Floyd is that he avoid several fights that would have solidified his career. That's why some underrate him some overrate him. In my opinion he is truly one of the most gifted fighter from our era if not the most gifted but due to his own actions has casted a cloud of doubt. Although Pac's opponents were maid to order people can't take away from the fact he fought great opposition that were way bigger than him to me he is the most accomplished of our era hate it or love it. That could have been May no doubt he chose a diff route. He is still way more gifted than Pac. Is funny how things work Tito will be remebered (currently) the greatest Rican fighter by his people but Calderon, and Benitez were way more gifted. If u take away the "FANBOISM" I think we can all agree Floyd is a great fighter who could have done more. If anyone overrates him other than his fan bois is himself...As I recall he stated once he was GOAT. That my friends his not, not even close. Don't take away from him but give what is due to the man regardless if u like his attitude or not the dude is already considered an ALL Time Great.
