There's a little thing called honor..

Ortiz tried to hit him with an INTENTIONAL headbutt. You wanna play dirty, well here you go. That is all that happened.

TheGreat · Sep 18, 2011

Mike Tyson got butted and he snapped, lost all control. Mayweather got butted, kept his cool and knocked Ortiz's punk ass out legally.

I thought this quote would fit well in this thread. Somethin a friend of mine wrote;

"The days of chivalry are over, and those of us who hold onto the protocols of politeness are rightfully due a sad wake up call. Reality will check us who hang onto the old school, but in the end we all will suffer. I'm reminded of a great scene from the movie Troy, during the duel of Hector and Achilles. At one point during the duel the brave Hector trips over a stone.

"Get up, Prince of Troy. Get up! I won't let a stone take my glory!" says Achilles.

In it was respect for the fighter, and respect for the fight. Is this what we call sportsmanship? One could argue that Hector was bound to fall regardless of his misstep. So then why would Achilles grant Hector the space to stand up? The end was not changed, Hector would fall.

Sportsmanship. Respect. Glory. Honor. Pride. These things go hand in hand.

Mayweather won the fight, but he lost everything else. He has no sportsmanship. He has no respect. He has no glory. He has no honor. He has no pride. He has nothing, but in today's age nothing means a lot more than it used to. There was a time when nothing only meant something when you kept your pride, nowadays it's the opposite. He may have won but he'll never be a champion."

so this only applies to floyd because he won the fight? where does victor fit in , in all of this .. would this be the same song had dropped floyd after head butting him. ? would you still sing the song dishonor to victor.. ? Or would you just happy floyd lost.. ?

I highly doubt Achilles would have been so graceful to Hector if Hector had tried kill while his back was turned.

Hector Not head butted floyd, he also took a swing at him when the ref said break.

To the TC. Who the hell are you? Floyd won fair and square. I didn't know it was a hugging match. This is boxing pal! I do not see how this was a cheap shot in any way at all. If anything Ortiz's headbutt was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more out of line, and even then if he could have managed to win the fight with the point deduction hats off to him as well.

Congratulations to Floyd's win!

And Floyd has none of it. Floyd just **** all over boxing by taking out a fighter that was in the middle of apologizing, and don't play like Floyd wasn't PRETENDING to forgive Ortiz.
Don't pretend Floyd didn't see he had a free suckepunch and jumped all over it. Yea it was all legal, but it was the dirtiest way I've ever seen a boxing match won in the 20 years I've been watching boxing.
Floyd just stole every paying fans dollar taking advantage of a fighter's hands being down because the fighting was in the middle of asking him for forgiveness. Don't pretend Floyd was playing along just to set him up for that cowardly act.
Floyd won the fight but Floyd has zero class and zero respect for anyone.

BTW, if you think Floyd thinks what he did was right, then why did he flip on Larry when Larry put him on the spot!?
Floyd took the ***** way out of the fight and the interview.

So true so true so true.....................

Its obviously, that Mayweather is in a serious personal crises. Beating his wife, threatening his father and Merchant and then pull out in this cowardly act.....Mayweather is on the Tyson route.....................:-(

Well said poster, you are exactly right, he has no respect for the sport that has me a fortune.

There is no better way to sum up last night, and more, with what you posted. Well met sir, well met! :happy:happy:happy:happy

Just incase no-one has pointed it out yet, honor don't pay the bills.

Floyd is going to gain more popularity and notoriety from this classless act, and that's going to translate into more PPV buys and bigger purses. Sad that our sport rewards pathetic scumbuckets like Floyd. Sad, but it's the damned truth.

:deal Exactly no one says **** about the sucker punches Ortiz took after he blatently fouled, BTW Ortiz just wanted a way out he could clearly see PBF's demeanor change before he hit him.

Exactly, he was frustrated, and looking for a way out. He didn't even protest after getting knocked out. Guy is a punk!

Undisputed · Sep 18, 2011

Instead of beating Ortiz ass for 12 rounds he kos him with a cheapshot. Oh well Floyd, Sergio will humble you and show you how to be a respectable human being.

Cool story bro. Why don't you tell us how you feel about Ortiz's jumping headbutt?

Axe · Sep 18, 2011

Honor, or class, Floyd doesn't seem to have much of it.

Joker · Sep 18, 2011

Ortiz was the one with NO honor, before the fight he and his corner complained that PBF was a dirty fighter. Come fight night Ortiz is consistently rubbing his head into Mayweather's face the whole night, PBF ignores it and is giving Ortiz a boxing lesson, Ortiz then blatantly headbutts PBF, and while Cortez is calling time he is trying to land sucker punches on Mayweather, they call time in and they touch gloves before PBF lights Ortiz up.

Ortiz was a real *****, he complained about PBF being very dirty but actually goes out and fights dirty enough himself to be DQ'd, the truth of the matter is he was getteg his ass tapped and he couldn't take so he found a way out.
