Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr believes that his upcoming bout versus "Vicious" Victor Ortiz will be very difficult. He knows Ortiz is a strong agile young fighter who recently won against an undefeated heavy bomber, Andre Berto. Floyd Jr is very much focused on the upcoming Mayweather vs Ortiz fight and he has no reasons why he should start thinking of his next opponent after this fight.
There were reports coming out that Floyd will fight Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines in 2013. But are you really sure the fight will happen? Unless there's a signed contract and the press tour has started, the mega-fight between boxing superstars Floyd Mayweather Jr and Pacman won't happen.
Mayweather is not looking past the Mayweather vs Ortiz bout. He is already on high gear in his training camp and he has already tapped the services of Sechew Powell and Deandre Latimore to be his sparring partners. Floyd needs southpaws who are hard punchers to spar with him so he will be able to adjust to the fighting style of Ortiz quickly.
Ortiz has a higher KO percentage than Mayweather. He will be putting his WBC belt on the line. The Ortiz vs Mayweather fight will be inside the 16,800-seating capacity MGM Grand Garden Arena and the venue is already sold-out. Tickets to the Mayweather-Ortiz fight are still available but the prices are a bit high at the black market.
Mayweather is predicted to win this bout, which many believed is comparable to the Mayweather-Hatton fight, but Ortiz will be very difficult. Ortiz has a higher chance of winning against Floyd compared to Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez whom Mayweather outclassed in his last two fights.
