GET IT, you can't call anyone the best fighter on the planet before they face eachother. Saying anything else is biased.

technically floyd is the best fighter on the planet, who has the best defense? who is the most accurate puncher? who make HOF look like amateurs? who offense at 130 was unstoppable?


do you wanna talk about pacquiao jab or amazing defense? or pacquiao lossing to a past prime weight drained Erick Morales?? LOL

BTW i like this writer and morales is a god...

Good article. I agree that Mayweather should win, but I don't want to overlook the fact that he's now in his 30's, and he's fought undersized guys in the past few years (Juan Manuel-Marquez and Ricky Hatton) and a guy, Shane Mosley, who's even older than himself.

This will be the biggest, bulk-wise, fighter that he'll have faced in a long while. Shane Mosley shook him up but couldn't sustain it. It's interesting to see if Ortiz can hit him, shake him up, and then sustain it.

Uppercuts will be the key, whether Floyd uses them as Ortiz comes in, or Floyd catches one on the tail end of a combination.

In the center of the ring, Floyd'll pick him apart. If Ortiz, who likes to lead with his head, can get it planted on Floyd's shoulder and pin him against the ropes, he may be able to catch him.

Floyd Mayweather not the greatest fighter on the planet

Roy Jones Jr. was considered the greatest fighter ever until he got exposed, Floyd Mayweather is better than average but how would he have fared against a prime Sugar Ray Leonard Or Tommy Hearns, I'm sure he would not have taken those fights. As soon as he thinks he might lose he'll come up with a lame excuse of steroid use. Joe Calzaghe was great, Bernard Hopkins is great, Sergio Martinez is great. Floyd fights smaller, slower fighters or who have personal problems. He will get his just like Roy Jones who is a virtual punching bag. What chicken **** finding an excuse not to fight Pacman. How can you put him in the same breath as Muhammed Ali, Leonard, Hearns, Calzaghe. Why don't he go up to fight Martinez like he makes other fighters come up in weight to fight him. Give him time and he will fall.

While I don't agree with how the article made Ortiz out to be disrespectful because I think Mayweather is the loudest and most disrespectful to all his opponents during the build up to a fight. I like the way it ended off.



I can envision the same. Fight will be competitive with Ortiz bringing his ambition, determination and will to win in the ring and will try to push Mayweather but at the end it will be Ortiz frustrated and getting beat to the punch. By the way, I called the fight stopped in the 10th as well. Sucks that everyone is counting Victor Ortiz out but here's to hoping he can prevail but my overall opinion is that it takes more than strength and aggression to beat Mayweather. You have to have a thinking fighters brain and stay totally focused and unfortunately Victor Ortiz will lose focus because of Floyd's technical fight game. Have to be able to out think Mayweather inorder to have a chance at beating him.

Kudos to vic for trying to sell the fight best he can. Vic looks like he is willing to play "the bad guy" to sell fights with Khan and Manny. Can't hate on vic in the least. Don't understand why more guys don't do that.

You forgot to mention, WEAK WHISKERS!!!

[twosweethooks]

Wow , what we have here is a writer like Marley who tells it like he see's it.

I see things different, in this respect, I hope you read this LYLE and make comments.

When you mentioned Balto

Gatti

Hatton

YOU LYLE are making these premier fights, standouts to measure by.

THEY were PISS POOR FIGHTS for that PURPOSE.

ARE these JR.s DEFINING FIGHTS ??????? Which is Jr.s Welter weight career defining FIGHT ?

I feel robbed if you say Balto. I am sure Balto is a good man, this is not about his character,,,but PLEASE don't insult my intelligence.

I feel embarassed if you say OLD WASHED UP GATTI. Please again don't insult my intelligence.

I have a real feeling because Jr said it you will say that its HATTON.

Bumrush Hatton.

Do you really honestly think Hatton was a welter weight, a top contender better than Margo or Cotto or no good Clottey,,,do you really??????

come on LYLE

You have bought into Aurora of JR.

YOU are comparing those three fighters to ORTIZ !!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,? WOW

You don't know boxing very well aye ?

There will always be the need in boxing for a "GREAT HOPE" doesn't need to be a WHITE man

could be a Asian

could be a black

race don't matter

could be anybody that will just beat the guy you want to see lose.

SO ?????? Thats been going on for a century now ,,,,,,,,,DUH !!!!!!!!!

What rock did you just come out from under.

What makes boxing rock is two guys pitting wills , skills, guts gameness wit and POWER in the middle to see who comes out on top.

ITS not about running , running and running and claiming to be the GOAT

Fighters Fight

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER , JR will be tested by a young fresh WelterWeight WITH EXCELLENT POWER IN BOTH HANDs

not ponderous like Balto

Not Slow like Gatti and old

NOT SMALL with much less power like HATTON

But Quick Stronger, power to drop you at any moment,,,hence the first round with Berto

So it gives me great intrigue to see if Jr. is all what you and others have MADE him to be over the years.

Jr. Has never faced anyone in his career like ORTIZ.

I will be here to eat CROW,,,will YOU ?

[PacTard]

Eh, not a lot of credibility here.

Lyle Fitzsimmons = Mike Marley = Ronnie N.

[pistol whip]

Lyle hit it on the head good guy or bad Mayweather is the best fighter on the planet period Floyd gets people so riled up with his pre fight antics they pay that 59.95 wishing and praying he lose it ain't going to happen

I think people cough up 60$ to see a fight not a god damn track meet but the under card will make up for it.
