    Every professional boxer who's weighed in disagree and if there was an unwritten rule I assume they would be aware. That said, I'm tired of debating it, you're entitled to your opinion, but I, the fighters I've seen, the journalists I've seen, head of th NSAC, Cortez, and the majority of fans disagree. 25% on Ortiz lol thats reasonable, and what exactly did Cortez have to do with anything, how specifically is he at fault? Again I simply disagree and not one person has said one thing about "unwritten rules".

    The fact that the fighters themselves when asked, didnt have a problem with it, speaks for itself.

    Do you not realize that the concept of right or wrong is subjective? I've been giving my reasons for why I believe what he did was right. I know the difference between legality as opposed to right and wrong. His actions were both legal and right IMO.

    They had hugged, Ortiz kissed him, and they had touched gloves three times, "apology"...so if I walk up land slap the **** out of you, buy then immediately apologize, you would be wrong to pursue legal means of retaliation? Again breh I simply disagree.

    Reality is he retaliated with a cheap shot. What does that mean? Well, he took advantage of the situation, after of course collecting a headbutt. Its obvious for anyone who is not a fan boy of either guy. if you have common sense and you watch how the whole thing went down, he played along, realized the opportunity was there to get his shot in, maybe he didnt or didnt know the KO would happen, and he took it. What Ortiz did was inexcusable, so was what Floyd did. Both were wrong IMO. It just happens to be that Floyd's wrong ended the fight, so he catching more **** for it.

    It's like in the beginning of the very first round, fighters (not all) touch gloves in the middle of the ring before they fight, it's a sign of sportsmanship. Now, what if a fighter act as if he was trying to touch gloves, of course his opponent will raise his one hand and drop his guard. What if in that split second instance the fighter trying to act like he was going to touch gloves suddenly punched his opponent and caught him off-guard?

    There are NO rules stating that players must touch gloves before they fight. There are no rules stating that you can't punch your opponent while doing so. You must protect yourself at all times. So that move, no matter how dirty it is, is still LEGAL.

    Are you going to defend that kind of move, *****s?

    This. They did the apology thing already, multiple times... It's a fight and Cortez signaled them to get it on.. Was Floyd supposed to wait until Ortiz decided to fight again even though Cortez said lets go? The **** people feel Floyd needs to do are insane... Now in a middle of a fight, where the ref says lets go and signals them to resume fighting, Floyd's supposed to sit and wait for the guy who just did a jumping headbutt to say he's ready to resume his ass beating. Ha.

    Maidana tried that vs Khan actually :yep

    but that's not what Floyd did. He didn't fake like he was about to hug Ortiz. He already touched gloves with him over and over again. The ref said fight seconds before, Ortiz needed to be on his game.

    Like I said, if I was Victor I would do this after the break.
    Walk up to Floyd say my bad man, extend my arm and touch it and put my hands up right away.

    They were instructed to fight. Cortez brought Mayweather and Ortiz together and told them lets go. After which Ortiz apoligized for a third time. Mayweather did acapet you see them do that kind of hug thing. At this point the fight is going on. Are they suposed to stand there? It is horse **** that Ortiz was distracted he was looking right at Mayweather when the first punch came at him. It dose not matter what or who Ortiz was looking at or focuesed on once ther were instructed to fight, he needed to protect himself at all times. It was not a sucker punch or a cheep shot. The only cheep shots thrown in the fight were the headbutts, that's headbutts not headbutt to be clear by Ortiz.

    Lol I dont give a **** if Obama reviews it, the referee, the head of the NSAC and essentially every fighter, journalist, and associated party have weighed in. Your pettiness speaks volumes.

    That's not what it's like, it's like the man intentionally head butted him multiple times, they did the touch gloves apologies 3 times, the ref said fight and one of the guys fought...it's nothing like your scenario.
