Is Victor Ortiz underestimating and too confident against his opponent Floyd Mayweather? What can you say?

Last week Victor Ortiz made a statement that he is unimpressed with Mayweather’s accomplishment in boxing and expressed himself on being the first fighter to defeat and cut the winning streak of the undefeated Floyd Mayweather. Ortiz is too confident he can win his upcoming fight against Floyd.

The undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather is rarely shares some comments against his opponent during the build-up for his showdown with WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz. Other than the typical boasting and bragging from Mayweather’s character we’ve always seen on 24/7, Floyd Mayweather hasn’t had much to say about his opponent (Ortiz).Victor Ortiz, however, has been doing his best to promote the event by letting everyone know that he will not be the number 42 on Mayweather’s perfect record. He is extremely confident; some of his comments make you wonder if he could be underestimating the challenge that lies before him.

Earlier this week during their conference call, Ortiz makes some comments about Floyd Mayweather:

"Here’s the thing. Forty-one of those fighters that he’s fought, none of them were me. So, somebody’s in trouble."
"Floyd’s overdue. He’s way overdue. He’s not supposed to be here. He’s definitely not supposed to be a 147 pounder and I’m going to see to it that he knows that."

"You know what, Floyd is a good fighter. But, I’ve never thought he was great; ever since I was a kid. You know when you’re a little boy, you sit back and you say, ‘Wow. That guy’s good. That guy’s great! Oscar was one of those for me. Mosley was definitely one of those for me. Bernard Hopkins was one of those for me. In his prime, Zab Judah was one of those for me. And Floyd, not in his prime, not in his come up, not in his anything, he’s ever been that to me. So, I’m definitely not impressed for one, and I’m not a person who’s going to hold any kind of respect like those 41 other victims."

"But, as far as I’m concerned, there are no concerns on my end about Floyd, period. Don’t care how good he thinks he is or you guys think he is, I’m set in stone and I’m ready to go."

"He’s just a careful fighter. He’s a global boxer."

"Forty-one of his fighters, he fought the same way every fight. Every single fight except the analysts are too blind to see that he actually fights the same way every fight. Now, I don’t really care what he’s got to bring, you know, he’s done. The moment they mentioned Victor Ortiz versus Mayweather, he was done. Period"
Based on those comments, Is Ortiz really underestimating and too confident to win in his biggest challenge of his career? You be the judge.
