Mendoza: I pray and hope Ortiz would be Floyd-buster

Today, who you going to call?

Floyd-busters.

The Sunday Shocker (Sept. 18) can only be provided by Victor Ortiz. Not Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Victor should be an honest-to-goodness lip-buster or Mayweather will never lock his lips. Ever.

Everybody hates Mayweather, except his dad and uncle. Reason? Mayweather is Mr. Braggart.

If Shane Mosley has become Mr. Lousy, Mayweather has been, still is, Mr. Loudmouth.

There?s no stopping Mayweather from being the modern-day Louisville Lip, the lasting moniker given Muhammad Ali.

That?s because before the Mayweather-Ortiz fight, Floyd was unbeaten in 41 fights.

That means he has the bragging rights no one can ever dispute because, as we love to say, ?How can you argue with success??

But how Mayweather has managed to stay unscathed in 41 fights is a question too easy to answer.

There?s not even a puzzle there whatsoever.

He runs the fastest in the ring, even faster than a gazelle in full speed.

He ducks much, much better than Joe Frazier that I?m more afraid of seeing him knock his forehead on his knee than getting hit smack in the face.

Thus, when it comes to running and ducking, Mayweather has no equal.

OK, include parrying and avoiding enemy punches. He has no equal, too, in that aspect.
