Jeff Mayweather claims Victor Ortiz is going to be taken to school by Floyd Mayweather – Boxing news
Jeff Mayweather has claimed his nephew Floyd Mayweather, who is a five-division world champion and World Boxing Council Emeritus World Super Welterweight Championship belt holder, will take teach the Vicious, Victor Ortiz, how to box.
The Pretty Boy, Mayweather, is set to take on the current World Boxing Council’s World Welterweight Champion Victor Ortiz on September 17, 2011 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and Jeff reckons Ortiz will not have a chance against Mayweather.
The 24-year-old Victor Ortiz is considered as one of the ‘top two’ Welterweight boxers in the world but Jeff still thinks Mayweather will prove too much for him.
“I think Victor Ortiz is a beast, but I think Victor Ortiz is going to be taken to school like he's never been taken to school before in his life,” he said.
Jeff stated the undefeated American legend, Mayweather, who has won all of his 25 professional fights, with all of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, has already fought Ortiz before, as he believes Ricky Hatton also has the same style as that of Ortiz.
Jeff remarked, “I mean, Floyd has already fought Victor Ortiz. He fought him when he fought Ricky Hatton, and Ricky was a better version of Ortiz.”
Ortiz recently defeated the previously undefeated Andre Berto to clinch the WBC title. It was an accomplishing performance from Ortiz, as he won the bout even after being knocked down twice. The fight was also regarded as Fight of the Year Contender.
Therefore, Jeff insisted Ortiz is riding a wave and is confident of beating Mayweather but reality is something else.
While speaking on his inclusion, he said, “I think that Ortiz is a guy who is caught up in the fact that he's coming off of his biggest win, and of course he's riding the wave, but the reality of it is this, Victor Ortiz has never faced anyone who is remotely
close to having Floyd's ability.”
