Floyd/Ortiz is worth it but JMM/Bradley isn't? You must be on crack. JMM vs Bradley is a meaningful fight, Mayweather vs Ortiz is a one-sided joke of a fight where Mayweather fought someone inexperienced and stylistically tailor made to make him look good. I'm a huge Mayweather fan but almost anyone that jumped on the "Mayweather is fighting a hungry young lion" bandwagon ended up looking like an idiot. Guess what?, Mayweather vs Guerrero won't be worth it either, mark my words and remember them as others did Mayweather-Ortiz.
Well that's what you thought. I never claimed he sucked against southpaws nor did I ever buy into it. That said, being a southpaw doesn't automatically make Ortiz a slick fast experienced and unpredictable southpaw, does it?
It's a very legitimate match between two excellent fighters, but at the same time I wouldn't be pumped to watch it - is that weird? I wouldn't really care who won. I still think Marquez will face Pacquiao again.
da best part is everyone siad floyd would be troubled by southpaws....2 out of 3 are southpwas and everyone is still whining bout it rofl!
They will definitely fight again. Marquez has nothing to lose even if he loses to Bradley, he still has a brutal KO win over Pacquiao which will always grant him a ticket against Pacquiao a 5th time. Pacquiao is fighting a safer opponent for obvious reasons(he's coming off a brutal knockout and an easy fight is to be expected). The only way this fight won't happen is if Pacquiao loses to Alvarado and is forced into retirement.
But every Mexican boxing fan would. And Mexicans make up a good % of the American PPV buys. How much did Sergio vs. JCC Jr. do again? Because I'll say it'll do better than that.
I've been semi-accurate in my ppv predictions so I'm sticking by this one. Some dynamics have changed. Let's just hope the fight gets made.
man I've been hearing for years that Floyd only fights smaller guys who are older. And that he sucks vs southpaws. I guess they were wrong and they're actually tailormade for him
I think if it ends up being PPV they will have to make on a weekend other than Mexican Idependence weekend, because GB has that date reserved.
