Mayweather - Ortiz 9/17/11

His 41-0 record really means nothing towards his career until he fights Pacquiao. To some degree he has dodged a lot of boxers. He should have fought De La Hoya and Mosley earlier in his career. But he fought Juan Manuel Márquez when he was ranked 2nd pound for pound, and dominated that fight. Hatton was not a cake walk.

Good points.

I don't think Ortiz is ready, but I will be rooting for him. And he will be 2.5 Million dollars richer. I'd fight Pretty Boy for 2.5 Mil.

Ortiz certainly could get lucky, but the smart money is on Mayweather.

We're heading out with some friends for dinner and fun - doubt we'll make it all the way to the strip but we'll be in close proximity. Vegas is hopping this weekend!

Nothing like Vegas on the weekend of a big fight.

Have fun!

Agree 100%. If he can beat Pacquiao I'll gladly tip my hat to him.

Not to get into a pissing contest with you because that's truly not my intent, but Mayweather fought Marquez at a catch weight off 144 lbs. (which Maywether couldn't be bothered to even hit), Marquez was/is a lightweight. He'll fight Pacquiao in a couple of months at the same catch weight, so we'll be able to make another comparision there. We already know that what took Mayweather ten rounds to do against Hatton, It took a round and a half for Pacquiao.
