Dan Rafael: "Floyd sees Victor Ortiz as not even remotely in his league"

[SuckaPunch]

From Fat Dan's chat today

Joe (Ellsworth Air Force Base): Did you buy into Floyd stating he's "going to destroy this kid." I think Jim Lampley said it best when Floyd fought Oscar. "Facing Floyd Mayweather is a cold dose of reality".

Dan Rafael (12:31 PM): That line actually perked me up. I've heard Floyd say many things over the years but I do not recall him saying anything like that in the manner in which he said it. It was almost like he knew he would just destroy Ortiz, who I think Floyd sees as not even remotely in his league.

I seriously think that Floyd has no worries at all in this fight and is about as confident as I have ever seen him. The fact he isn't talking, shows me he is so calm about everything.

Part of me hopes he is underestimating Ortiz. Ortiz to even have a chance needs to jump on Mayweather early and hard.

floyd has to be very sharp in this fight. ortiz is the hardest puncher mayweather has faced not named mosely. it should be interesting to see how he approches this fight. cant wait.

He's a good little fighter.

Agreed but when is Floyd not sharp? His performance against Mosley was nothing short of a masterpiece. His adjustment after rd 1 was amazing, I think he handles Ortiz rather easily.

Mayweather TKO Ortiz 11

Mayweather was having a ball laughing and smerking everytime Ortiz opened his mouth. Mayweather knows Ortiz is a joke

[Trigg]

He isn't.....

I got mixed feelings from the quote. I got excited a bit and laughed at how Floyd was screwing with Ortiz. BUt then I got kinda woried that he'd take him too lightly

if that's the case, floyd's body language indicating he sees vic as an easy fight now belies floyd's earlier hyping up of vic as a young and dangerous foe...
