Ortiz shouldn't have apologized ... he should've kept it up with the dirty tactics till he either got disqualified or knocked out ... either way Mayweather would've been in a war. I would've continued to punch until Cortez pulled me off ... and I would've hit Money May low when i got the chance to (in close quarters) anything goes when you in the ring and it's not like Mayweather is an angel ... this is a blood sport.
They were outside looking in just like the rest of us. A better question would be if they were in the same situation, would they have done the same thing? My bet most if not all, would say no.
Nonito and Wolak said it best I think...it was classless...it was unsportsman like but it was legal. Champions who are cut from the most a cloth with integrity wouldn't pull a "Floyd". Even if it was easy pickings.
don't agree...Floyd was clearly pissed off, and rightfully so...How can u say that Floyd was thinking at the time? So ur telling me that someone headbutts and cuts u up, and ur gonna be like, 'o it's ok, we still cool'. HELL NO.
Seems like they all agree Ortiz made a mistake and most of them agree it was classless by May, either way is pointless to keep arguing about who was right or wrong I personally feel we got robbed from what was becoming a very good entertaining fight.
I don't think it ever was a "gentleman's" sport,at least not the way you're thinking. I mean Dempsey vs Sharkey, Duran vs Buchanan , and every fight Ricky Hatton was ever in. The fact that what he did was legal though makes it seem like a distraction tactic to me like th Ali shuffle or Ray Leonards spinning fist etc...

Sign it! Just don't dare put it on PPV. I don't mean not as a main event, I mean not even as undercard. It could be a nice Solo Boxeo main event. :good
I cannot understand all the critics about Floyd Mayweather. Ortiz headbutted!!!!! Floyd before!!! If he did not, the fight would not have been stopped. Floyd did nothing illegal, Ortiz did.
