Ortiz was a good opponent

Ortiz came out of the Pink limousine on 24/7 - I should have known

 

A. I thought the draw was fine in Ortiz-Peterson, close fight, perhaps I shouldn't have said he was "fortunate."

B. Bradley looked good in his one fight at 147, albeit against a much much worse opponent than Ortiz' fight.

That being said, I don't think Ortiz was a bad opponent, I thought it was the right fight for Floyd to take. I thought he was great.

I also thought Floyd didn't get enough credit for his wins against Mosley and Marquez. Though older they are GREAT fighters.

Ortiz is the type of guy that will defend a belt once or twice and lose, but never beat a great fighter, there were no better options for Floyd at 147, considering his restrictions, and I thought it was a better fight for him to take than Bradley, for instance, given that he had the belt and was coming off the better win.

Still, saying that, I think Bradley is clearly the better fighter. I don't see how that's hypocritical. Floyd is so great he could beat guys like Ortiz and Bradley weekly.
