Former WBC welterweight titlist Victor Ortiz said that he is open to have a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. to appease the demand of boxing fans around the world and give the unbeaten American a worthy opponent for his presumed final fight in September, as reported by Boxing News 24.

The report said that Ortiz thinks Mayweather's match with his chosen opponent, reigning WBA welterweight interim champion Andre Berto, is "not even a fight" at all and that both boxers should just retire rather than give such an embarrassment to the sport.

"If anything, they both need to retire, or at least Floyd needs to give me some kind of chance to redeem myself," Ortiz said as if offering himself as Money's last prey. He also added that he has "no respect for a fight like that," referring to the Mayweather-Berto clash.

After going 27-0, Berto struggled in his last six fights against known boxers and have compiled a 3-3 record since then.

Ortiz scored a unanimous decision victory over Berto in 2011 to win the WBC welterweight title. It was an even fight during the first half of the match until Berto got dog-tired in the second, making him a sitting duck for the Kansas native's punches up to the final bell.

Like Berto, the 28-year-old southpaw had also been struggling recently, losing three of his last four matches, including his infamous fight with the pay-per-view king also in 2011. On top of that, Ortiz is actually no longer an active fighter as he has a Hollywood career to attend to.

Meanwhile, Forbes' Josh Katzowitz indicated that Mayweather-Berto "would be a major disappointment" for the fans and the sport itself as it would just be another boring and uninteresting challenge for Money.

Katzowitz suggested that Amir Khan, Keith Thurman, Timothy Bradley, or Gennady Golovkin would have been so much better than Berto.

On the part of Khan, the former two-time light welterweight champion thinks that Mayweather's fight Berto will not be his last and that the Briton still has a chance to face him next year, as per Boxing Scene.

"I don't believe Floyd is going to retire after a fight like that," Khan said, referring to the Berto match. "I still think that he will come back for one more fight and that could be me."
