After Mayweathers own 16 month layoff he faces a young strong southpaw. Many believe this is another opponent he cherry picked like the ones I have mentioned but I for one believe this is the best fighter he has ever faced. Not the biggest name but by far the best quality opponent. Not only is Ortiz young, strong, hungry, and physically bigger then Mayweather, he is a southpaw. People say Ortiz has no chance because you must have a jab to beat Mayweather. This is false and here is why. In order to beat Mayweather you must have a good left hand. As an orthodox you must have a good left jab, as a southpaw you must have a good straight left. It is Mayweathers shoulder roll style that exposes his face for a left hand. If Ortiz tries to beat Mayweather with his jab he is going to hit shoulder all day. With Ortiz’s style Mayweather is going to need his track shoes. Unluckily for Mayweather he is no longer young and since his first layoff he has become a flat footed fighter. Being flat footed is going to be extremely dangerous in fighting Ortiz. For all you boxing fans we know that Mayweather might not get hit too much but when he does he gets stunned and his opponents allow him to survive. Ortiz is not going to let him off the hook and he hits a lot harder than anybody Mayweather has faced. Watch Mayweather vs Ortiz fight the 12-round boxing mega-fight known as STAR POWER: Mayweather vs Ortiz Live, which will be contested for Ortiz’s WBC Welterweight World Championship, will take place Saturday, Sept. 17 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev. and will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.
