In yet another let down, Bob Arum has informed the media that Victor Ortiz is not ready for a fight with Floyd MayWeather. Here's what he said to Boxing Scene:
"I wouldn't have wasted or thrown a young guy like Ortiz into this match against Mayweather at this particular point in his career. I just wouldn't do it because there is no way that Victor Ortiz is ready to fight somebody like Floyd Mayweather. There just isn't."
Arum thinks the 24-year-old Victor Ortiz (29-2-2, 22 KO's) should be making title defenses of his newly won WBC welterweight (147 lbs) world championship against lesser competition, not someone on the level of Mayweather (41-0, 25 KO's).
It is hard to imagine why Arum wouldn't want this fight, but it seems we will have to wait (again) for Mayweather to step out of his rabbit hole.
