Mayweather - Paper Champion?

Commentaries on Mayweather being a paper champion is now going around, primarily because of his refusal to fight Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino no. 1 pound-for-pound champion and presently Congressman of the Sarangani District of the Philippines.  According to Sports Illustrated, if Mayweather still does not fight Pacquiao, Mayweather will remain a 'paper champion.' 

Incidentally, this was also the opinion expressed by my frind 'Asyong, ' a one-time boxer himself and who follows all the news related to the prospect of a match between Pacquiao and Mayweather.  Over a cup of brewed coffee yesterday morning after a 30 minute jogging, I found my friend having coffee and chatted with him about the chance for what they call the fight that everybody wanted to happen between Pacquiao and Mayweather.

After talking about the weather condition and checking his new smartphone for the latest weather update, we then shifted our topic to the latest boxing news that Mayweather has brazenly announced that Pacquiao is gonna be next!  My friend, smiling knowingly, said that he thinks Floyd 'money' Mayweather may not be able to taste his first defeat from Pacquiao.  He explained that from all indications and the way he analyze the situation, Mayweather will taste his first defeat in his coming fight with Victor Ortiz, comes  September 17, 2011.

My friend believes that Victor Ortiz has a chance of knocking out Mayweather with the power he has with his left hand.  Considering the youth advantage and the power, any quickness that Mayweather still have might fall along the road once Victor Ortiz will catch him.  He asked me if I had the chance to see the fight of Ortiz when he defeated Berto, the former WBC Welterweight champion. He told me that I better see the fight at You Tube since it is now considered as a good pick to become the fight of the year.

My friend further added that he do not see any chance of having the Mayweather vs Ortiz becoming the fight of the year mainly because of the dancing defense of Mayweather.
