How can you blame Floyd for choosing Ortiz!?!?

As a substitute for a Pacquiao fight that should have happened twice by now, May-Ortiz is disappointing. Especially when you consider the fact that it isn't a tune-up, and that there's a very real possibility that it won't even lead to the Pacquiao fight at all.

 

Everybody's definition of a cherry pick is different. You say Ortiz is not a serious threat and will net Mayweather a big payday. Many people will say that constitutes a cherry pick.

 

Apart from Khan and Pac I dont think there is really any one that actually would stand any sort of chance!

 

+1

floyd was supposedly on vacation and just let pac take on another fight instead of sitting down and working hard on making that fight

 

He could've come back a month or two earlier and put pressure on Pac to take the fight, to atleast make it look like he wanted it. Instead waits till Pac-Marquez is in the final stages of negotiations and announces he's fighting Ortiz. And this after just so happening to be in Miami during Berto-Ortiz to attend that fight. A cynic would say he was there scoping out his next opponent looking to fight the winner, and must've been licking his chops at the prospect with all the flaws on display and with it having been FOTY material making it easier to promote for a great payday.

 

I would have to dissagree with that. Anyway, I don't really have a problem with him fighting Ortiz. It should be an entertaining fight.

 

Because it's not the guy who you should be facing .

It's like Spain reaching the World Cup final - where they're supposed to meet Holland - and turning around and saying "Nah, we don't need to bother with Holland. But we'll play Uruguay instead. Be happy with it."

Now if Floyd's stubborness delayed it for one fight, or maybe two, then it wouldn't be so bad. But **** me, it's coming up to 4 fights and 2 years now. And counting! Noone asked for Ortiz, so don't expect us to be content with it, Floyd. We tell you we're thirsty, and you offer us a sandwich? **** that.

 

what do ortiz can offer beside being YOUNG? nothing.
that's why floyd quicky fight him. now tell me ur justification why victor ortiz is not a cherry pick by floyd.

 

I said it once before, the Floyd-Pac fight is losing it's luster fast. This fight should've happened two years ago when pac was a true wrecking ball. He didn't look 100% vs Margo or Mosley and Floyd is just waiting for Pac to look beatable in the ring, then he will strike.

 

He looks beatable now, and always has.

 

I think Pac looked his best in the Margarito fight. But I agree, any fight that happens in the future now, will be a diluted version of what it could have been back in November 2010 - where Mayweather and Pacquiao both were coming off dominant wins over Mosley and Clottey.

 

The argument could easily be made that Pac is the one who does not want this fight.
