I agree with you 100%. A lot of people overlook Ortiz's performance in this fight. It's a pity he lost his mind. Floyd had a bemused look on his face at how Ortiz seemed to be walking through his punches. He had enough foot speed and balance to cut the ring off against Floyd. And you're right about Canelo, he has good handspeed but he doesn't have the footspeed to cut the ring off against Mayweather.
Victor Ortiz showed more in four rounds than Canelo & Guererro

Yo my man, ease away from the keyboard. Take a deep breath. exhale.All I'm saying is that Victor Ortiz had the formula to make it competitive with Floyd. Yes, Ortiz was losing but he was doing acceptionally well for a hand picked opponent. No one can say Ortiz was completely dominated or out of the fight. Ortiz is a combination of everything we think would trouble Floyd: southpaw, size, hand and foot speed, stamina, and volume puncher. I say Ortiz needs two solid wins to come back and I will not accept anything less than a Lopez, Peterson, or Maidana rematch no matter if they all lose their next fights but he needs a win with them for confidence.
Vic was getting tatooed and was so frustrated he headbutted floyd in attempt to get dq'd or inflict some damage because his punches weren't landing.
Ghost and Canelo didn't look for the cheap way out that Vic did.Comment

There are a lot of history revisionist in this thread. Ortiz was doing nothing but losing, getting frustrated, and committing fouls.Comment
