    Ortiz defense is at least 3 times better than Margarito.

    Ortiz is a live dog in this fight. He's not just a flawed brawler. He fights behind a tight guard and has his feet under him most of the time and is rarely off balanced. He's got very good foot speed. He moves his head and he's got a very good right hook/upper cut combo that he blends with his left hand. He's also a pretty good in-fighter and is good at finding holes.

    The guy looks like a beast at WW. He'll be the bigger guy on fight night i think. Mayweather will fight off the back foot most of the time. It would be foolish if he didn't.

    Ortiz has no jab. He reaches a lot and does not have good balance due to how wildy he swings and he can't fight going backwards with tendency to drop his hands leaving himself open. He's got good foot and hand speed, physically strong with a good punch and has good angles. I think Mayweather will come forward with a crisp jab and is safer coming forward, not allowing Ortiz to get the leverage he needs on his punches, again Ortiz does not want to go backwards, will be a battle of the center of the ring, inside fight but once Ortiz becomes defensive it's over Mayweather wins via 10th round stoppage.
