    remembering ortiz from a few years ago, seeing how sharp he looked and he seemed to be a very good boxer with very good physical abilities

    now after seeing his fight with berto, anyone else think ortiz is gunna get too caught up in the size and power being talked about and actually completely abandon his boxing ability

    regardless of the outcome 2moro night, seems like he now believes, or atleast everyone else believes he's some big strong brawler who is just gunna walk through everything thrown at him as apposed to being a guy with what seemed to be great potential and a very good skill level


    kinda bad cuz its not like he can box his way to victory 2moro, yet he seemed very skillful and sharp in his earlier days

    even though he's gunna make a ton of money, unless he gets ko'd i cant see him becoming better if he believes the way he fought berto was the way to go about it

    or maybe he realised he only looked good because his opposition weren't world class and he'd need to bully and bulldoze his way to victories at the higher level

    :think

    No one said he had amazing skills. Question, is Floyd your favorite fighter or one of your top favorites?

    That is because he was up against lesser competition, no point going to toe-to-toe with guys you can easily outbox. Trying to outbox a boxer is a fools paradise though, he did what he had to against Berto to win and that would have no doubt failed against Mayweather.
