the match is close to being signed and details are being finalized.
Furthermore, the Boxrec website lists the fight on both fighters respective records. Though this is not the fight that the public wants, it comes pretty darn close. The matchup is quite compelling as Ortiz is coming off a dominant victory over Berto and Floyd is technically perfect. This match-up is exponentially more competitive and relevant than the fight between Pacquaio and the great aging Mosley and should do very well.
This fight would be good for the sport as Manny no longer fights hungry lions; but, instead faces opponents looking for one final payday before retiring. Manny’s management it seems has opted to protect its cash cow and avoid any and all legitimate challengers. By making this match Floyd would give the hardcore boxing community a match worthy of being televised on Pay Per View.
