Stay connected for news and updates

Earlier we featured Brian Kenny and his latest interview with Floyd Mayweather Jr, and now here's his discussion with Victor Ortiz. For those who can't stand my nit-picking on Ortiz, please look away, because this is...wow.

Now let's talk about one particular thing here.

Ortiz on the fight: "Let me tell you something. Back when I was nine years old, I always said to myself one day I would be the welterweight champion of the world, and when that day came around, I would be the first to fight Floyd Mayweather and give him his first defeat. I said that -- I was nine. I mean, the years have passed, I'm 24 now..."

OK.

OK.

  • Victor Ortiz turned nine years old on January 31, 1996.
  • Floyd Mayweather Jr went professional on October 11, 1996, as a super featherweight.
  • Floyd Mayweather Jr would not become a welterweight until 2005.
  • I don't think many nine year old kids dream that they'll be fighting at 147 pounds.
  • I am going to leave it at that before I explode my brain over this ridiculous, blatantly fake story that Victor Ortiz is trying to peddle.
  • I MEAN COME ON!
