Well, Floyd offered to fight Manny anywhere at anytime...the one caveat was for Manny to submit to the same substance tests as Mayweather. For some reason Manny wouldn't.
Hence, no fight.:crying:

I like Ortiz as a person and respect where he came from, so I don't think this is the end of him at all. He will rebound from this. I haven't even seen the fight yet, so I have to determine the quality of the shot that puts him down.
As far as who is next for Mayweather, one of the most interesting and toughest I see right around his class is Canelo Alvarez. Watch out for that dude.

Floyd 'offers' to fight a lot of guys, but there is always some Mayweather generated bullshit involved. Floyd walked out on the biggest fight and payday in his career, and if he was so damn concerned with drug testing for Manny, WHY THE FUCK DID HE FIGHT MOSELY??? Shane fucking failed one not that long before he fought Money.

There's been a lot of hearsay from both camps. I don't know who to trust regarding all that controversy. Mayweather's big ass mouth in general though tends to make me doubt his "story" far more than Manny, who is just a class act.
Maybe because Sugar Shane actually agreed to the tests?:dunno:

See above.:2 cents:
The Mayweather-Mosely fight was politics and horseshit. Money ducked Mosely years ago over the same shit, but waited til' Shane was beat up and desperate to give him a fight. Shane needed the big fight and payday and Money needed marquee name on his resume... it was a win-win. Bottom line: Money needs to stop waiting for Pacquiao to become damaged goods like he did De La Hoya, Hatton, Mosely, and Marquez. Fight him now!!! Fight Manny while he's at the top of his game. Stop running and making excuses.

You understand there are reasons for circumstances we understand immediately but then there are also purposes for circumstances which bear out later.
Point, as much as you dislike him...it's likely the case as soon as there is a contender you think can beat him, you'll be lining up to try to see it. If you won't there are millions of others who will just because of their visceral contempt for him.
And likewise like Merchant said, a somewhat boring "boxing" style fighter as well. I can think of a dozen other fighters who are more exciting to watch than him off the top of my head.
But he does his thing and he laughing all the way to the bank, I will give him that.
LOL...yeah..Merchant would just be 50 years younger with his ass kicked in the ring too...
BTW, one of the 1st and last instructions you get from the ref is, 'protect yourself at all times'.
There is really no debate IMO about the knockout. Ortiz shouldn't have headbutted Mayweather and then she should have protected himself (or went on the offensive) AFTER the ref told them to fight.
