Image: Mayweather: I left the fight in the ring, but Ortiz and De La Hoya keep crying about itBy Chris Williams: Unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 Ko’s) says he’s since forgotten about his 4th round knockout win over Victor Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KO’s), but Ortiz and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya won’t let it go and keep talking.

“I left the fight in the ring, but Oscar and Ortiz keep doing interviews, crying like some Golden Girl bi*****. I will f*** both of you up. You want to talk about cheating?” [Mayweather then adds a link to a photo showing Ortiz headbutting him with].

Ortiz and De La Hoya conducted a telephone conference all yesterday, asking Mayweather to give him a rematch, and basically saying Mayweather had won the fight because of a cheap shot instead of by dominating Ortiz the way many boxing fans saw it.

Mayweather doesn’t have to give Ortiz a rematch, because there’s no cry – other than from Ortiz and De La Hoya – from boxing fans for another fight between Mayweather and Ortiz. Out of the kindness of Mayweather’s heart, he gave Ortiz a ray of hope by suggesting that Ortiz take on former WBC welterweight champion and now the current IBF welterweight title holder Andre Berto next.

If Ortiz can beat Berto, Mayweather said he’ll fight him again. That’s sounds more than reasonable, considering that’s the fight that Ortiz wants anyway and he thinks he can beat Berto again. It shouldn’t take Ortiz very long to set up a fight with Berto, because he wants to fight Ortiz again to avenge his 12 round decision loss from last April. HBO also wants the fight, and it’s the best fight out there for Berto right now until someone like Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather show interest in fighting him.

In the meantime, De La Hoya and Ortiz will likely keep giving interviews and talking about how the fight ending was unfair.
