I don't care who wins this fight, I just want a competitive Mayweather fight. It's been so long since we've seen Mayweather really have to push himself for victory and it needs to happen. I'm not convinced that Ortiz is the opponent to do it though. It's difficult to see how Ortiz can win on points considering how easy he can be to hit and how well Mayweather deals with a swarming pressure style (assuming that Ortiz comes into the fight with a similar style to the one he used to beat Berto) and while Ortiz can definately punch, I can't see him landing enough to break Mayweather. Even if he rocks Mayweather, we know from the Mosley fight that Mayweather has good survival instincts and recovers quickly, so I'd have to rule out a stoppage as well.
Ortiz needs Mayweather to have lost a step physically or mentally to stand a chance and even that may not be enough.
