    All roads lead to Victor Ortiz.

    Did you not read my post :huh
    Whether he has a tune-up or not, he's going to fight Pac on the same date. All the tune-up will do is give Floyd some practice and millions of dollars in his bank account

    I'm hoping Floyd and Manny fight later this year and they're close to some deal in secret while ****ing with the public.

    Thankfully, Manny still fights at least twice a year, unlike Floyd. Given that Marquez appears to be re-signing with GBP, who else is there for Manny to fight around the 147-154 range that's marketable and a Top Rank (or simply not GBP) fighter?

    Kermit Cintron? Ugh.

    it's not a set in stone rule that he has to fight just once a year. Like I said if he fights Ortiz in July with the intention of facing Pac in the Fall, then I support this fight 100%
    If he fights Ortiz and then retires or something, then I'll become a Sergisexual

    With the recent string of upsets, I think considering a tune up for a $50M fight is a very dumb move. Trying to earn some million dollars while risking a sure $50M down the road is a very dumb move.

    Why don't Floyd hire guys to bang him up in the gym than risking an upset in a tune up?

    let me ask you! Why would floyd need a tuneup against pac? when you guys keep on saying pac is overrated who fights guys coming off losses? and floyd himself also said that pac is one dimensional easy fight?

    I respect Buddy McGirt a lot, but I don't what he's talking about when he thinks Floyd can take on Pac. Guess Floyd vs Ortiz will be a tune up.

    This will be a huge fight in my opinion. Ortiz is a young gun and wants this. Floyd imo has problems vs southpaws.

    Waiting for developments...
