    I enjoyed that face off

    Both guys respect each other & there's no bad blood or real tension between the 2 of them

    This fight may be quite competitive in the 1st few rounds & I dont think Ortiz will suddenly fade & crumple

    Floyd will have to work hard for a wide UD

    But you are a bit of a spastic. Listen, there's no such thing as people without bias. The instant you say you have no bias, you're applying a bias.

    Anyone on this forum who says they haven't wanted a fighter to lose in the past because of their personality is a liar!!

    EDIT: Btw I want Mayweather to win as he is my 2nd favourite active fighter behind Haye and then probably Khan my 3rd!!

    Floyd will win because this is a one-sided matchup against a merely above average opponent.

    Although after the face off I was like '**** 'im up Floyd' :deal :bbb

    How can you still like Haye after his last two performances?

    Yep, Floyd watched the Berto fight live as we all know.

    If we can see all of Ortiz's faults and deficiencies, you're damn sire Floyd is seeing ten times more :lol:

    There aren't many I'd pick Floyd to stop early, especially as he always takes a few rounds to get going, but he'll feel disgusted with himself if he doesn't take the opportunities presented to him by an operator like Ortiz.

    I like the face-off & the fight, old master versus young maverick...

    I want Mayweather to win of course, cos he IS boxing. However? This is a big test for the old master who I believe only fights to satisfy the taxman nowadays, as he clearly lost all love for the sport years ago.

    He literally is Money Mayweather nowadays, as he would be long gone from the sport we dearly love if he had any decent alternative.

    I can't just stop liking a fighter after two performances, its like a fan who stops supporting United because they had two bad games. Anyway he did what he needed to do against Audley and he would have performed MUCH better (not saying he would have won) againt Wlad.

    If they do one for Amir Khan, is it ok if Shah Khan speaks for him?

    Haye was abysmal against Audley, worse than he was against Klitschko.

    It's weird how he came straight out at Ruiz and came as close as anyone apart from Tua to banging him out early..... yet stood there throwing nothing against Audley.

    Really he ought to have had him out of there inside a minute.

    You really do love the ****s HH, Haye and Mayweather top 2 :fire

    That said, taking into account Mayweather’s cherry picking, it’d be nice if someone as flawed and sloppy as Ortiz beat him.

    Floyd picked Ortiz because he’s got no jab, he’s got poor form and can’t maintain his combinations without falling in. Floyd is going to unload every shot in his arsenal over 12, either scoring a late stoppage or a dull UD.

    It's not though is it.

    A fight is like a whole season. Losing is relegation. If UTD were relegated two years on the trot, they'd lose a lot of fans I imagine.

    Audley is indefensible IMO. If you give him kudos for the toe, fair enough, but seeing as he fought like that against Valuev, with two good feet, it's evident to me he bottled it.

    And I can't be a fan of his when he talked so much shut beforehand. He doesn't give a **** for his fans, so I don't like anymore.

    Your opinion of course :good But Haye, Floyd and Khan are so unlikeable I'm not sure what it says of you that you like them :D
