Even if it was by the rules, it was dirty and we all know it.

    Ortiz apologized about 10 times before that. Mayweather acknowledged and touched his gloves in all of them. There was no need to go for another hug and an apology, especially when they were on the verge of resuming the fight. I don't blame Mayweather for hitting him, especially having been blatantly headbutted moments earlier. If that [the deliberate headbutt] didn't happen, and Mayweather sucker punched him for something else, then I could understand your point.

    You're just dumb. Have you even watched the fight? The ref's attention was to the judges all the time. He didn't say let's go, WTF? In fact, Cortez Should've separated the two first if he is to talk to the people outside the ring. His whole ****ing attention wasn't on the fighters and when Ortiz was down he counted him right away. Cortez should be banned for refereeing another big fight again. :patsch

    Ortiz entire fking story is a lie, he's not as nice as they make him out to be, he's a bully himself.

    BUT, like I said, two wrongs don't make it right, and it'd have looked better had Floyd just continued to school him. Which he could of, but he blatantly took a cheap shot instead.

    It was dirty, Floyds only human.. but one need to ask themselves, would Manny Pacquiao, Sergio Martinez, Andre Ward and/or the Klitshcko brothers do the same thing? I think not.

    two things you have to mention, if it was legal, how dirty can you call it? and secondly, ortiz did start the whole thing by a blatant headbutt. do know why so many of you are overlooking that. it was unfortunate because the fight was pretty good

    :deal

    Cortez wasn't saying ****, he was looking to the judges as the shots came down raining on an Ortiz looking at Joe Cortez.

    It was pretty clear that the bout was resuming. Cortiz would have stopped both boxers from walking towards each other otherwise.

    Who the **** cares about class? Why is class so important to this forum all of a sudden? This is a sport when men punch each other with the ultimate of goal of incapacitating their opponent and we're worried about class? When the referee calls time in, you're supposed to box not hug. Ortiz apologized once during the break, that's sufficient.

    Mayweather did the right thing, it's something any ATG worth their salt with their wits about them would have done. People are just using this as some weak excuse to reflect their anger at Floyd winning. Ali would've done that ****, Frazier would have. Duran would've done that **** 100 times out of 100.

    Most people don't know **** about boxing. We're all supposed to hug it out during a bout now? Give me a ****in' break.

    You're thick. James Butler got arrested for what he did, why? Well that's because not only what he did was illegal, but it was also a crimincal act. What floyd did was not a criminal act, and it also wasn't an illegal boxing move. Thick.

    I was using it as an example.


    It was also a moment between two men who seemingly agreed to greet, and one man got a punch in the face instead, the same thing happened to Ortiz, ofcourse it's not THE SAME THING. But in reality, there was a moment when Ortiz and Mayweather both acknowledged Ortiz was going to apologize, and as he did Floyd cracked him.

    It was an example you ****.

    So i guess you all would be screaming foul if Mayweather headbutted Ortiz, said sorry four times and then had a problem if he was KO'd?

    Cortez told victor don't do that, an then his very next words was "let's go"
    And he gave the arm motion and walked away.


    You don't have to like pbf but thats a fact.
