    You didn't see the punch that threw Mayweather into those ropes to begin with, or do you just see what you want to see. Pac and Mayweather fans are always the same after a big fight. The fan glasses are on the first day and no one sees **** until the next day when they're like oh yeah. Just like all the Pac fans refused to believe Margarito almost broke Pac's ribs in the six round.

    What I saw was Mayweather landing right hand leads all night starting from round 1, and walking down a man with 14lbs on him. Ortiz wouldn't have resorted to that headbutt bull**** if he was in the fight. He was getting outclassed and got desperate.

    Floyd really looked good against Pac's ex-sparring partner. Honorable KO punch I may add. :yep

    I don't consider this version of Ortiz to even be a top 5 WW victory for Mayweather.

    It's better than all but one of Pacquiao's WW wins. :deal (Cotto)

    Shane Mosley served as DLH's sparring partner and he beat Oscar twice. Ortiz was a huge WW and more live than any of Pac's last 5 opponents.

    According to Roach, Ortiz gave Pacquiao all he could handle. That shows what a different class Mayweather is in compared to Mr. PEDs.

    I don't know if that was the majority believing that.
    In that poll the other day asking if it was likely to be more like a Gatti-style beatdown or a Baldomir pot shotting clinic, I think the Gatti option won. I picked an early to mid rounds KO myself, but of course I never believed Ortiz was a great opponent.

    Man..that right hand land is so quick and crisp.

    Mayweather dominated Ortiz. It was easy work. Just bring on the Pac fight already.

    Correct.

    Mayweather couldn't box like he used to in his younger days now if he tried.

    The brilliant thing is that he doesn't try. He instead has adapted a new style, where he is still next to untouchable and always in position to counter. Incredible, really.

    You heard that Manny knocked Ortiz out in sparring? Where'd you hear that? Did you watch that video I posted. Roach says that Manny, "started to get to him at the end". No mention of a KO or even getting the best of Ortiz. Roach says that the 6 rounds of sparring were "highly competitive" and "thrilling". And Mayweather just did this to him.

    This wasn't even close to being the whitewash some people are calling it. Mayweather had his hands full. He's that good though. I can see why Floyd is so frustrated with his public image. The lemmings can't see for ****.

    Yeah bro nobody thought it was funny, witty, or intelligent any of the other times you posted it either. To save you the hassle, it's not an issue of "nobody's seen it" or "it's getting lost in the thread" it's just ****ing dumb.
