Who has Mayweather Jr.? Who has Ortiz? My pick is Floyd Mayweather Jr. I do believe that Ortiz will make it a great fight, but in the end, Mayweather Jr. pulls out a W. I don't think it'll be quite as easy as the Marquez or Mosely fight, but Ortiz is a good up and coming fighter and gets his chance to show the world was he's made of.
I go with Floyd. This is not actually that bad fight I first thought. At least Ortiz is coming from a nice streak of wins and is young, hungry fighter. Floyd still gonna make him look pretty bad after couple of difficult first rounds..
Ortiz doesn't have much of a shot. He's strong and has decent speed, but lacks the technical ability to outbox Floyd. Punchers chance and that's about it.
Ortiz shows why Golden Boy believed he was their next star years ago. Berto fight proved two major things. 1) Ortiz is mentally focused and 100 % committed to boxing. 2)He was able to show more stamina & out hustle one of the most athletic in shape fighters in the game in Berto. This is a very overlooked item that could end up being a major factor in an Ortiz upset.
I knew Mayweather would blow out Mosley. I know he'll outbox Pacquiao. But IMO he's not going to be able to beat Ortiz or Khan. Khan would win by UD, not because he's better.. but because he's younger and faster. Stylistic nightmare. Ortiz's power and precision will be too much. Mayweather is great but I think he'll lose this one. CANNOT wait to see this fight.
I don't really know how anyone can pick Ortiz to win. I'm a fan of his, but I've seen enough boxing to know a mismatch when I see one.
Until I see a major decline in Floyd's skills, I will always favor him against every single opponent he faces.
