    Too bad he lacks the most important one.

    Officially Bradley took his "0" . In reality Ortiz took his "0"

    Yeah this is pretty much it. However let's not forget Berto was being lined up as this special fighter who floyd was supposedly reluctant to face when he lost to Ortiz.

    How can you say a physically gifted fighter is overrated?

    Ortiz has talent but he doesn't have the heart or will to fight. He was beating Maidana's ass until he quit! He was landing some good shots on Mayweather too until he lost focus and let Mayweather sucker punched him.

    I do think that he can still redeem himself since he's only 28; however, after his last fight. I think he should retire. He's just not meant to fight.

    LMAO, watch the fight again. Ortrees had a good 2 or 3 rounds then Maidana started to take other, the end of the 5th was brutal and if he hadn't of quit he would have got stopped anyway. maidana ruined him ha.

    Golden Boy hype job that is how. They forced him down our throats on HBO earlier in his career before HBO wised up and got rid of GBP.

    here we go again with the bull****. he wasnt landed **** that mattered and lose focus my ass. he got pissed because he was getting tagged and couldnt retaliate with punches so he threw a headbutt. BECAUSE HES MENTALLY WEAK. Get over it already. he got that two piece because he fought dirty. Nothing cheap about it.

    The early KO loss to Collazzo last night should make it clear to even Floyd's most ardent supporters just how unimpressive it is that he had to resort to a sucker punch in order to cause any damage to Ortiz. By the way, have any of Floyd's recent victims had a single significant win since their fights with Mayweather? The answer is: No. And the reason is simple: with the exception of an untested 23 year old Canelo, all of Floyd's recent opponents were either not that good (Gurerro, Ortiz), or finished before they stepped in the ring with him (Mosely, Cotto).

    I know Maidana ruined but Ortiz was ahead in the score cards. Like I said, he doesn't have the will to fight.

    That's a big "IF" it didn't happen. Ortiz was out boxing Maidana.
