    Is Ortiz capable of implementing a similar style that Castillo used in the 1st fight and give Floyd hell and possibly beat him? Yes Floyd fans I Know I know his hands bull**** excuse. Mayweather is just a good fighter and did what good fighters do in the rematch adjust and make changes. Anyways can Ortiz use the Castillo blueprint?

    Castillo had a better defense, chin, ring IQ, footwork ect.

    their different fighters. Ortiz is a southpaw . He can trouble Floyd in different ways. He's not as experienced or as intelligent as Castillo was, but he has youth and a couple of other things on his side.

    Castillo was a swarmer.

    Ortiz is a puncher.

    If Floyd is fighting when he is mentally retired he is in trouble. It won't be a shot Mosley gassed out. Victor is determined and we just don't know where Floyd's reflexes are at.
    I never liked Floyd as a Welter it is never smooth sailing when he faces younger fighters and now he is not into boxing and older.

    Maybe... IF Floyd gets injured in the fight, Ortiz can loose by a close decision as Castillo did.

    Ortiz is too flat footed, that will be his downfall

    Plus I think FLoyd has seen this "Castillo gameplan" used so many times now that he actually enjoys fighting against it.

    Put pressure on me - Floyd Jr.

    Floyd has not swam without getting wet in a long time. Even Mosley had him in deep waters in rd 2.

    I feel you guys aren't giving Ortiz enough credit as a boxer, you guys make him out to be a crude brawler like Mayorga. He just happens to drop everyone he faces. Not elite like Floyd but who is??? If Mayweather has lost any of his reflexes he could have trouble here. Still think most likely outcome is pBF by decision
