Floyd was already displaying his craft as he was beating Ortiz for all 4 rounds. You have your emotions backing you, I have punch stats to back my word up.
If you were really a boxing fan, you would know that the demographic that watches Boxing and UFC are two completely different groups. They actually did a study and only about 10% of the people who watch the sports watch Boxing AND UFC. Boxing will be relevant as long as there are Hispanics in America.
We have p4p fighters fighting soon, and you're sitting here crying. Sergio Martinez, Bernard Hopkins, Nonito Donaire, Andre Ward, and Juan Manuel Marquez all fight soon. Your tears aren't going to glue back together Ortiz glass chin.
Legally, no. In all other senses of the word, yes.
I'm really done even watching Floyd anymore. He would have won that fight in decisive fashion had he continued last night and done for more to burnish his standing with the media, fans, and the boxing community. Instead, he used a moment of confusion by an opponent and poor officiating to "KO" his opponent (something he hasn't done, mind you, since 1999).
That's a problem for boxing. When your supposedly best P2P boxer would rather throw a questionable punch than actually display his craft and beat an opponent fairly and decisively, which is what Floyd would have done had he continued fighting.
As someone else said, millions of MMA fighters were made last night.
