Mayweather-Ortiz Predictions

Adam Pally

"Mayweather, 6th round knockout."

Clay Matthews

"I watched the first episode of 24/7 and you have to love Mayweather. I think his mentality, especially in an individual sport, is something unique. You need to have that arrogance on the side of cockiness, knowing that you're in there alone and you have to break down your opponent. So I think there are going to be a lot of people pulling for him, but at the same time you want to see an upset. America loves an upset. As for me, I look for a good fight, but I would expect without any losses that Mayweather's going to come out on top. I'll say 6-8, can I say a general 6-8?''

Allyson Felix

"Mayweather wins by KO in the 6th."

Cal Ripken Jr.

"I'm a casual boxing fan but a big Floyd Mayweather fan. If you want a prediction from me, I'm going to say Floyd in a decision."

Reggie Miller

"Mayweather by decision, but toughest fight to date for Pretty Boy. "

Willie Colon

"Mayweather in 5th round KO."

Andre Gurode

"Mayweather by 5th round TKO."

Darnell Dockett

"Mayweather wins in a decision, just because he's Mayweather until Pacquiao defeats him."

Kirk Morrison

"Mayweather, unanimous decision."

Larry Fitzgerald

Mayweather by a decision. He will stay away from Ortiz and his power and be on the defensive."

Maurkice Pouncey

"Mayweather in 8th round TKO."

Ryan Clark

"Mayweather in a decision."

Shaun Phillips

"Money May stoppage of the fight, round 9."

Shawne Merriman

"Floyd wins, 7th-round TKO. latest 8. [Ortiz] is not fast enough and is going to want to slug it out. With Floyd's defense being too good, it won't happen."
