Mayweather's tune-up fight won't be similar to Marquez's

The fight between Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. and "Vicious" Victor Ortiz won't be close to similar to the recent tune-up fight of Juan Manuel Marquez against Likar Ramos.

Even though Floyd Mayweather Jr and his solid followers don't consider his upcoming fight as a tune-up fight for the upcoming much anticipated mega-showdown against Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines, many still believe that he chose Ortiz because he is a southpaw like Pacquiao.

Ortiz has nothing to lose against Mayweather

Victor Ortiz, after winning against Andre Berto in April 16, 2011, is now dubbed as one of the most elite boxers in the Welterweight Division. He lost two times in his entire professional boxing career and another two of his fights were scored a draw. He will fight Floyd Mayweather Jr this September 16 inside the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas and he will defend his WBC Welterweight Belt, the same belt he got from Andre Berto in his last fight.

The Mayweather vs Ortiz fight, dubbed as Star Power will be televised via HBO pay-per-view and many are expecting a large output in terms of PPV and gate receipts from this fight because Floyd Mayweather Jr has not fought since winning a lopsided fight against Shane Mosley in May 2010.

Roach: Mayweather won't fight Pacman after Ortiz, maybe Khan

Celebrated trainer Freddie Roach believes that Floyd Mayweather Jr will never fight his most-prized ward, Manny Pacquiao, after the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight dubbed as Star Power: Floyd Mayweather vs Victor Ortiz to be televised at HBO PPV with a reality TV series 24/7 which will debut on August 27.

Roach is favoring Floyd Mayweather to win against "Vicious" Victor Ortiz on September 17. He believes the undefeated former pound-for-pound king will win via stoppage. But after that fight, he don't see any possibilities of Floyd facing Pacman. Manny Pacquiao, a congressman in the Philippines, is also scheduled for a Pacquiao vs Marquez fight on November 12. If both boxing stars win their respective fights, it makes the most sense to finally settle the mega-fight between Floyd and Manny.
