: "FLOYD IS COMING OFF A 16-MONTH LAYOFF...IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING"

By Percy Crawford | August 02, 2011

PC: You can hate him or love him, but Floyd Mayweather announcing a ring return is big news in boxing. Do you like this Victor Ortiz fight?

: I love this fight. It's like, "I can't get Manny Pacquiao, so what do I do? I'm not gonna fight has-beens or retreads, but I'm going to go out and get a young champion; a young guy who is hungry who just kinda resurrected his career in a fight where nobody thought he was going to beat Andre Berto coming in." Victor Ortiz showed a lot of heart in doing so, which a lot of people questioned if he had heart. He's a big strong dude and he's a lefty. People say Floyd has trouble with lefties, and he hits hard and again, he's young. That's a pretty interesting fight and Floyd is coming off of a 16-month layoff. Who else is out there doing that when they take time off; challenging a young hungry lion? He's not fighting retreads, he's fighting a young gun and I can't wait for the 24/7's. Obviously, love or hate Floyd, he's always entertaining and it's going to be interesting to watch.

I asked Merchant simply what fight he was more interested in Mayweather-Ortiz or Pacquiao-Marquez III?

“Even though the Pacquiao-Marquez fights were very exciting and close fights, and Marquez earned his way into a third fight, I guess I find myself more curious about the Mayweather-Ortiz fight because Ortiz is a young, strong kid and I’m curious to see whether he can make a real fight out of it. Mayweather hasn’t been in a real fight in a long time.”

Floyd Mayweather’s September 17th return against Victor Ortiz…
“It’s going to be a good fight. Floyd’s a very, very intelligent fighter. He’ll adapt to anything and he’s always been in great shape. There’s not one time where you see Floyd Mayweather out of shape. Whether or not he’s been out for two years, you see him and he looks like he’s been in the gym. He’s always on his game. Victor Ortiz had a great fight with Berto, he’s coming off of his biggest win and his confidence level is real high. And that makes a fighter dangerous, when their confidence level is real high. They’re going to work hard and they are going to come and bring it. It’s going to be an exciting fight.”
