Bizarre end to Mayweather championship bout
Published On Sun Sep 18 2011

It had been 16 months since Floyd Mayweather, the best pound for pound fighter in the world (seriously, just ask him), had last stepped in the ring.

So on Saturday night in Vegas, he had a lot to work out of his system.

First, he spent three rounds slapping overmatched opponent Victor Ortiz around the ring.

Then, as they will do in Floyd’s orbit, things got strange.

In the fourth round, Ortiz headbutted Mayweather. It was less of a headbutt, and more of a torpedo launch as Ortiz pushed Mayweather into a corner, and then shot his entire body up at him.

Referee Joe Cortez stopped the fight and docked a point from Ortiz. Ortiz approached Mayweather and appeared to apologize, going so far as to kiss the other fighter.

When Cortez brought the pair together a second time, ostensibly to restart the fight, Ortiz once again leaned forward to apologize. He tried to hug Mayweather. Then as he leaned back, his hands at his side, Mayweather stunned him with a short left and then knocked him out with a right cross Cortez wasn’t looking at the pair during those crucial seconds.

Afterward, Mayweather defended his actions.

“We touched gloves and we were back to fighting and then I threw the left and right hand after the break,” Mayweather said. “In the ring you have to protect yourself at all times.”

It got weirder still.

Out of nowhere, Mayweather began giving the gears to HBO’s long-time in-ring interviewer, Larry Merchant.

“You never give me a fair shake,” Mayweather screamed at an amused looking Merchant. “HBO needs to fire you. You don’t know s--- about boxing. You ain’t s---.”

“I wish I was 50 years younger and I’d kick your ass,” Merchant said.

For the record, he’s 80 years old.

It wasn’t much a fight, but Mayweather always brings the drama. Now, the fight world waits anxiously to see if his next act will be the long sought

Yeah If your gonna call yourself the greatest fighter ever you should probably be able to win without doing that. I mean technically I guess it wasnt illegal but it wasnt classy, neither was the headbut I guess.

Obviously boxing is losing a lot of its fans to UFC, Mayweather in an interview was talking about how he was keeping the sport alive, but I mean lame knockouts like that dont quite keep it alive do they?

If Floyd wants to show he's the best, FIGHT Manny Pacquiao and settle the debate in that bout once and for all! Do it regardless of whether or not blood testing would be done and all that shizznit conditions he's been trying to impose! If he still chickens out and makes those BS excuses he'll never earn the fullest respects of boxing aficionados! :thumbsdown:

C'mon, the great Muhammad Ali to my knowledge has NEVER backed out of a challenge in the ring hence the respect he still has to this day!

floyd in his own mind thinks he is the best ever and if he fights manny then he risks losing his all important 0 loss stat. as long as he doesnt fight manny he can point to said 0 as proof that hes the greatest ever, when he really is nowhere close.
