Random question regarding Manny?

So im bored and figured i'd a sk everyone a question just to see what the answers are. What do you think the outcome of a Manny Pacquiao vs Victor Ortiz fight would be like? just as an FYI, Ortiz has owned Manny during the sparring matches, at least from the ones i have seen, im not gonna go as far as to say ortiz is the better fighter, afterall it was only sparring, but what do you think an actual fight would be like?

Before the hate mail comes in, i wouldnt ask this question if what i said wasnt true. Im not a Manny hater, i love Manny as a fighter he's great im only asking what would be different from sparring sessions compared to an actual fight worth something?

Update:

@ truth X - you wont find any article or videos online, you have to be at the wild card gym to see for yourself. Freedy roach has this thing where any fighter who can knock down Manny get a $1000 bonus and trust me there is a line of fighters who are willing to take that chance, everytime someone take Manny down Freddy Roach pulls the tape and it "disappears"

Update 2:

@ Box - when i say Ortiz owned Manny in the sparring sessions, trust me he took care of buisness, but as i said earlier it was just sparring.

Update 3:

@ JON - you are absolutely right, Ortiz isnt ready for the top 20, Manny does play around a little i know that for sure, i have seen him spar 15-20 times, manny is a showman he always tries to put on a show for the people watching him train (thats why i love the guy) now the reason he got beat up the way he did was cause Freddy Roach told him to go in there and ONLY work Ortiz body, thats the whole point of sparring/practice, but im sure if Manny let his hands go, Ortiz would have been done for.

Update 4:

@ Kiloman - hey what part of Oxnard are you in? i know alot of people and fighters from out there, im in the SFV (818 area), what you heard was true Manny did knock out Ortiz at one time, not just knockdown but actually knockout Ortiz.

    I'm not surprised that that Ortiz gives Pacquiao problems. Ortiz is a very good fighter and Pacquiao's style is somewhat predictable. In a real fight I see Pacquiao imposing his will over Ortiz and stopping him in 6. Victor lacks the heart to beat someone like Pacquiao.

    Manny gets "owned" by a lot of his sparring partners when he's not focused. The difference is, Freddie kicks him in the *** and Manny focuses, and he usually makes quick work of his sparring partners. Ortiz has absolutely no heart. "I'm not going out on my back for nobody" - Victor Ortiz. If Maidana could hurt Ortiz and make him quit, what do you think Pac will do? Manny within 2 rounds.

    I doubt he owned Manny in sparring..if anything they were trying to build Ortiz confidence .Manny is way to seasoned for Ortiz . I would say Manny in 2 rounds but that fight just will never happen .It would look like the Cotto vs Alfonso Gomez except Ortiz will go down in 2 or 3 if Pac put the heat on him.

    really thats interesting im from the Oxnard area, as i recall somebody said last year that Victor got knocked out by Manny in sparring matches but don't take my word for it im just throwing it out there I respect both fighters and don't want to be spreading bad rumors but it could be true, but i also know Manny plays with his sparring partners and knowing Victor he's a pretty cool guy.

    I believe that Manny would have more trouble against former lightweight champ and now Hall of Famer Carlos Ortiz had they met in their prime. Victor Ortiz is just a name, he ain't done nothing yet to be mentioned in the same sentence as Manny Pacquiao.

    Hi, please provide video references, or even just articles in your claim. If I remember it right, the rumors were about Victor Ortiz pummeling Oscar de la Hoya for his fight against Manny Pacquiao. Ortiz was Oscar's sparring partner, and I haven't heard that Ortiz kicked Manny's *** in sparring. I would love to see that if that's true. :)

    Hey bro.

    Pacquaio is known to play around too much in sparring. I really do think if he takes it seriously he would knock out Ortiz easily. Dont get me wrong I think Ortiz has a lot of potential. He is still a good prospect in my eyes, but I just dont see him ready for the elites and fighting anyone in the top 20-30 best p4p today. :-)

    Victor Ortiz is a quitter. Plus he has a weak chin. Pacquiao some times plays with hes food before he eats it. Sparring is sparring.

    Maidana took all the vicious out of Victor, Manny stops him in 4.
