Many boxing fans will be surprised to see Ortiz be very competitive against Floyd.

[Bushbaby]

Oscar was right with everything he said & all of you will see. Floyd hasn't been in the ring with anyone that is as strong as Ortiz, nor big, young & hungry. He hasn't faced this kind of speed & power in years. I mean years. Hatton was the last fighter that was somewhat dangerous that Floyd faced. Ortiz is bigger, stronger & faster than he is.

Don't be surprised to see Ortiz match Floyd's speed & pressure him constantly, don't be surprised to see Floyd hurt & wobbled quite a few times. When the final bell sounds, don't be surprised to here Floyd declared the winner even though after watching the fight you feel that Ortiz actually beat him.

Bookmark this, if I'm wrong I'll admit it, I always do. But I have a feeling deep down in my guy Ortiz will give Floyd 1 if not the toughest fight of his career & he may even win too.

for like the first 3 rounds? absolutely


by the mid rounds, potshot city

I keep going back and forth. Ortiz is without a doubt a strong, fast, hungry and young opponent.

On the other hand, I remember he's been KOd and struggled with lesser opponents. Ortiz is fighting arguably the best boxer of the last 10 years or so.

Only time will tell.

I agree. Not sure why so many feel as if Floyd is unbeatable. Father Time beats everybody. Maybe it won't be Ortiz but it's any day now. Once a fighter nears 35, it's best to stop laying bets on them.

[Russian Crushin]

Maybe 2 round Ortiz will look ok

After that he will be countered while floyd is potshoting and Ortiz will be the one backing up while highly confused

Father Time is truly undefeated. I just dont feel Ortiz is the guy though

You don't think Floyd is fundamentally sound enough/ ring smart enough to compensate for his physical decline like Hopkins?

Well, I'm not one of these fans who feels that way. However, Floyd is not shot yet even though he's slower and not as sharp(aging factor), and his father time will come soon. But as of right now, i just don't see it yet.
