By Chris Williams: Jeff Mayweather, the uncle of Floyd Mayweather Jr., doesn’t see any of the welterweights in the division that can beat his nephew Mayweather Jr. at this time. Mayweather just demolished WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz in an easy 4th round TKO last weekend to capture yet another world title.
Mayweather Jr. showed that he was the stronger fighter in that bout despite many boxing fans thinking that Ortiz would be the more powerful of the two going into the bout.
Jeff said to examiner.com There’s no welterweight out there strong enough for Floyd. And I mean physically. Ortiz did a lot of talk about how he was going to make Floyd run and he was [the one] running.”
Jeff’s opinion about there not being any welterweights strong enough to beat Mayweather obviously includes WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao who is smaller and not as powerful as Ortiz. If Mayweather Jr. can do what he did to a big young kid like Ortiz, just imagine what he would have done to Pacquiao had he been in there last Saturday night instead of the bigger Ortiz It wold have been a massacre plain and simple.
You have to be incredibly power to have a chance against Mayweather Jr. and as of now there just isn’t anyone in the division with that kind of power. I know Bob Arum of Top Rank thinks his unbeaten fighter Mike Jones has that kind of power, but he doesn’t in my view. I think Ortiz is a bigger puncher and a lot faster puncher than Jones.
