    yes if floyd fought pac instead people would be saying how he ducked ortiz and guerrero

      They sure were credible, considering how bad welterweight was at that time. Now with Thurman and company about, it's gonna get real interesting. I'm calling the 1st duck. Broner scurries back to 135 instead of fighting Thurman.

        So who would be credible at ww? Following your logic Bradley's not credible Provod proved that. Pacs not credible Marquez proved that. So I ask again, who's credible at ww? Nobody I guess. Haters logic, no one is credible for Floyd, Pac, or Marquez.

          Guererro was #3 and Ortiz was #2 so I would say they were absolutely credible.

          They were two of the best options available at that particular time.

              No they are **** opponents for an elite fighter like floyd... but there isn't anybody touching at that level in 147... lots of B level fighters...

              You must be dumb or desperate to have payed $50 to watch them crap fights.

                welterweight is just weak that beating berto would elevate you to top of the division.

                how i wish mosley was the one who exposed berto had that fight pushed through. the mystic of berto being undefeated would've not been there when he fought ortiz and ortiz would not have that fake aura that he beat the undefeated berto and therefore he deserved to fight floyd. i mean ortiz can't even make it to the top of 140 but the moment he beat berto, he became the real deal in the minds of the sheeps.

                  They would have been credible opponents for anyone else in the world around that weight.......so considering the logic and though process around here, OF COURSE THEY WEREN'T CREDIBLE FOR FLOYD.

                    I liked the Ortiz/Mayweather match-up (though I didn't think much of Berto back then), but the ending cheapened it. Ortiz and Berto's recent performances haven't helped. As for Ghost, he put himself in a great position so yes it was credible, but I was indifferent to the match-up. Let's see how Ghost continues to perform at WW.
