The sport of boxing is always better off when the best fighters take on the most worthy opposition available…especially when one of these match-ups includes Floyd Mayweather. Since Floyd publicly announced his fight with Vicious Victor Ortiz, there has been quite a bit of debate as to whether or not the Garden City, Kansas native is indeed a worthy opponent. The Vicious one is coming off of his most impressive performance to date and is the current WBC Welterweight Champion. As a result, the 24 year old fighter is as confident as any in boxing and truly believes that he can win a scrap with Mayweather.

Although Ortiz has a great knock-out ratio and has hurt every opponent he has faced, even in loss, most boxing pundits have dismissed him as a simple tune-up for an eventual super-bout with universally recognized pound for pound king, Manny Pacquiao.
