Ortiz warns Mayweather

the moment their bout was announced.
American Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters of all time and has compiled a flawless professional record of 41-0 with 25 knockouts.
While undefeated five-division world champion Mayweather has been installed as an odds-on favorite by bookmakers for their fight in Las Vegas today, Ortiz firmly believes he can deliver a victory against a challenger who is 10 years older and has not fought in 16 months.
“Floyd’s overdue (a defeat), he’s way overdue,” Ortiz told reporters while preparing for the 12-round bout. “Forty-one of those fighters were not me. Forty-one of those couldn’t move like me.
“He has fought the same way every fight. Now, I don’t really care what he’s got to bring. He’s done. The moment they mentioned Victor Ortiz versus Mayweather, he was done.”
Ortiz, (29-2-2, 22 KOs), did not want the age factor to overshadow the victory which he has predicted for himself at the MGM Grand.
“I want the actual Floyd Mayweather to show up,” said the 24-year-old southpaw. “I don’t need a Mayweather that’s lost speed or lost power or lost age. He’s got that beautiful mouth of his that just never stops so I want the best Floyd that is out there.”
The flamboyant Mayweather, long renowned for his trash-talking, shrugged off the fact that he has not fought since May last year when he beat fellow American Shane Mosley by unanimous decision. – SuperBoxing.
