    Pac is going to KO Floyd if they ever fight. After watching that fight I have no doubt Pac KO's Floyd.

    Even though he was winning on points, the Ortiz fight was not easy for Floyd. Pac has much more power than Ortiz, he is faster, better conditioned and much more accurate. I see no way Floyd could win. Floyd will be on his back.

    Of course Floyd knows this in the back of his head which is why he won't fight Pac.

    I've always thought that a fighter with good lateral movement would be a problem for Floyd, and Ortiz showed that to be true.

    Also, Ortiz manhandled Floyd quite a bit and managed to be more effective than anyone since maybe... ODLH?

    It was really too few rounds to say for sure, but Ortiz performed much better than I expected him to.

    Instead of being a shut out, it was competitive.

    If Ortiz is competitive... Pac is going to be a big problem.

    You guys need to rewatch the fight if you think it was competitive. Floyd landed 73 punches to Ortiz's 26 and had his eye swelling. There's a reason Ortiz tried a flying headbutt, and it wasn't because it was competitive.

    yeah people watched a different fight. when i seen Floyd walking down Ortiz after four rounds you could tell it was beginning of the end. Mayweather landed some easy right hands on ortiz, too easy infact.

    The fact that the HBO crew was getting excited every time Ortiz was launching an attack might be the reason why people thought it was competitive while it clearly was not. Ortiz was trying hard though but Mayweather was clearly superior.

    Yep. It was only a matter of time, Ortiz was on his way to being KO'd.

    I think he wanted a way out of the fight personally. Just like his fight with Maidana. He knew Mayweather was tattooing him and it was only a matter of time.

    Ortiz was heading down the path of another Mayweather victory so he decided that a headbutt is the only way he was going to beat him.

    The fight wasn't competitive. Just because Ortiz got Floyd on the ropes and threw punches that didn't land, or landed with barely any effect, doesn't mean it was competitive. Seriously, people think that just because a boxer is on the ropes, he's having trouble.
