It’s been nearly a year since Victor Ortiz last stepped foot in the ring. However, his focus remains even deeper into the past.
The former welterweight titlist is rumored to return to the ring in September, which should allow enough healing time for the broken jaw suffered in his injury TKO loss to Josesito Lopez last June. He remains in the spotlight as a current contestant on Season 16 of Dancing with the Stars, after which he plans to resume training for his next fight.
Whom he next faces could depend entirely on what takes place a month from now.
“I called everyone from 147 to 154 out. There is one bout in particular I’d like to put out there,” Ortiz stated during a recent appearance on ESPN’s Sportsnation.
The lead-in to the fight he refers led to a past loss that continues to haunt him.
“Floyd Mayweather, he’s a great fighter and all that, no doubt. I was never content with the way things turned out,” Ortiz revealed, referring to his 4th round knockout loss to Mayweather in Sept. ’11.
“I will never agree with that loss of mine,” Ortiz admits. “I think if we went 12 rounds it would have been a different outcome. But I bring up Floyd because he’s getting ready to take on Robert ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero.”
“I’d like to take on the winner of that fight,” Ortiz continued but eventually revealing his real preference.
“Unfinished business,” Ortiz commented, before staring into the camera to call out Mayweather. “I want a remach, Floyd. It would be for free too, I don’t even need (the money).”
Floyd felt the pressure and had to revert to any means necessary to win that fight. Protect yourself at all times is the excuse Floyd fans use to excise that punk shhhh he pulled.
