No buzz for mayweather/ortiz

**ApricotSinner32** · 08-25-11, 01:50 AM

That's why they have the 24 7 series on hbo so the casual fan gets alerted about the fight. I for one am always excited when floyd fights. Been following his training etc and many in his camp including sparring partners are saying he's the hardest worker and they've never seen anyone train like he does. (All day without getting tired)

It's starting to look like the public lost interest in floyd's ways

I lost interest in Floyd a long time ago (for a number of reasons).

I feel like Manny is ducking Mayweather

I don't see it that way at all. While Floyd may use the testing as mind games manny doesn't have to let another fighter choose the rules when that's what commissions are for.

I can understand him doing the testing with Shane but Floyd is too cautious to fight manny. Which is sad because he has thenperfect style to beat him.

Overall Floyd is too selective and he will never be rememberd as a great like manny will. While Floyd wouldn't face margarito, manny stepped up and history will remember it that way

Floyd is looking old to me so I really wonder what he will do against victor

The perfect style to beat him? I think he can beat Manny but he doesn't have the perfect style for it. Manny's a southpaw, Floyd won't be able to use a shoulder roll against him.

People in general seem to be losing interest in boxing not so much just ffloyd. You'll hear everyone pick it up the week of

**raidersfan** · 08-30-11, 12:42 PM

I for one am excited about this fight, Ortiz young and hungry and mayweather coming off a long layoff, should make it a great fight.

**Vaughany** · 08-30-11, 03:35 PM

Would love to see Ortiz beat Mayweather

**illmatick** · 08-30-11, 03:42 PM

Last few minutes of the countdown were pretty good.

**Vaughany** · 08-30-11, 03:44 PM

ha yeah his old man is hilarious... can't tell a word he is saying! Pretty crazy and tragic really how they obsess over who is the "real Mayweather"!

**cranzter** · 08-30-11, 05:55 PM

really victor doesn't have a chance, I will say though that if floyd signs on to do khan or saul alvarez it would be a much more interesting fight.

**Squareguy** · 08-31-11, 03:34 PM

Oh wow, Ortiz is representing Kansas!

Didn't know we had people on his level near me...it would definitely make my day if he knocked Floyd out cold.

Saul alvarez hasn't fought anyone to prove he's the real deal... all media hype at this point.

**GoodSun** · 08-31-11, 10:59 PM

to say Ortiz has no chance is wrong, he's stronger than Mayweather, this is the fight of his life. Yeah Mayweather may be better in every way than Ortiz, but Ortiz has what it takes. This fight is a clear over in rounds, i dont see Ortiz losing to Mayweather getting KO'd, and i surely dont see Otiz knocking Mayweather to win the fight.

**kisado** · 08-31-11, 11:37 PM

People lost interest because Mayweather is all talk, ducking Manny to fight relative scrubs like this dude. I hope Ortiz beats him up.

I don't know I wouldn't bet on the under but I am scared to bet on the over because of how Ortiz always quits mid fight.

**Grits n' Gravy** · 09-05-11, 03:26 PM

Ortiz will only win by ko and from the small snippet I got to see of Floyd training before I left for Macau he is taking the kid seriously. His sparring partners were throwing tons of hooks to head and body. Floyd had a wicked counter right uppercut that I have never seen him throw much before. It was incredible to see up close. What you see on HBO is barely a fraction of how hard he trains. Not even ttwarrior could handle his sessions.

**shady610** · 09-05-11, 08:43 PM

I love the way ortiz believes he can beat floyd. He truly believes it and it is hyping me for the fight now. Plus as floyd now is 35 and he has not fought and under 30 fighter in 6 years. And it was against Henry Bressles. (sp?)

I think floyd may not have it like he used to now and may be his first lost

**shady610** · 09-11-11, 06:57 PM

6 days away. I'm more interested now but it definatly feels like floyd lost his grasp of the American public

All of Floyd's opponents talk how they are in great shape and are going to be the first to beat him. The result is always the same, Floyd is too damn good and after a few rounds he breaks their will when they can't catch him. Until he loses his speed, nobody is beating Floyd. Love how Floyd is clowning Oscar about the cross dressing pics.

lame

**shady610** · 10-24-11, 08:40 AM

Maybe I was onto something with this fight. Afterall it never takes this long for floyd's ppv numbers to come out. I'm starting to wonder if the numbers were sub par and they aren't wanting to show what they had
