    Watching the 24/7 it doesn't seem Ortiz if focusing enough on strategy and Mayweather's style. He's probably trying not to reveal too much but I see absolutely no game planning at all, just fitness training. Maybe it could just be the show not wanting to go too in depth.

    Floyd gets my respect if he can handle Ortiz. I don't care what nobody says Ortiz is no joke, he ain't Ricky Hatton. I'm sure Floyd thinks he knows what he is doing, but I'm not sure he does.

    We are gonna find once once Floyd gets tagged.

    I seriously don't see this going the distance. Ortiz is gonna come out guns blazing. That might end up being his downfall for better or worse, but he will pressure Floyd.

    Ortiz looks really thin at the weigh in. Looks like he really had to cut weight.

    they both came in at 147 basically. How is he thin? Looked pretty cut to me. Im just worried that he seems like he's too nice of a guy. Hopefully he can shut Floyd up though

    Sometimes I like Floyd's persona, other times he really gets on my nerves. Somebody should humble him someday, but I just don't think it will be Ortiz. Ortiz gets tagged too much...is he really strong enough to fight through it and quick enough to hit Floyd? I hope so, but I'll be very surprised if Ortiz can make this competitive.

    The weigh-in was an absolute circus... Money grabbing Ortiz by his neck during the staredown while his "team" of ****-riding clowns yapped at Ortiz's trainer and brother made for quite the scene.

    Where's a good place to watch the fight? I live in Spring but I'm willing to drive just to have a good atmosphere.

    I'd rather drive to Vegas if that's the case! I'll hit you up next time I'm in San Diego though just so I can see your behemoth screen haha. I was just there last month.

    I'm not as excited as Manny's 144 fight with JMM. That's dumb. Marquez is a lightweight. This should be better.

    Any one of those dudes from Mayweather's entourage trying to talk **** to him during the weigh ins would get knocked the f out 1 on 1. Strength in numbers gives people courage I guess.

    Amir Khan calling mayweather out.

    Whatever you think about Mayweather, unless he retires, his chances of staying undefeated are slim and none.

    He don't want no part of Amir Khan, or Sergio Martinez, so fighting Manny is probably the lesser of the 3 evils at this point.

    If he somehow finds a way to beat Victor, then an older and slower Manny would be next. If he beats Manny, he's going to retire for sure, but the next superstars all have bad intentions for Money. He knows his time is about to be up.
