The video is from a while ago, but they seem to be pretty cool with each other. I'm a big fan of both guys, both have won me over in the past year or so. Not sure who i'd root for if they fought TBH
If they did fight in the future, do you think Ortiz would come out the same way he did against Berto?
Against Berto he came in as the guy moving up from 140, a big underdog, he'd been called a quitter (by Berto included) and it was pretty much a make or break fight. Against Khan he'll come in as the naturally bigger guy, against a guy he's cool with, and it'll probably be a close to even money fight.
My one worry about Ortiz is the Berto performance was a one-off. He showed heart, but against berto he wasn't CUT the same way he was against maidana, and while i'm not questioning his heart one bit, maybe that was the difference?
Talking about a head to head fight??In that case,I don't think Ortiz is going back to 140.So I presume the fight would be at 147.As of right now currently,I would say that we have to give the edge to Ortiz,because he has beaten the best fighter of either of them.I noticed that Khan some times leaves his chin up when he throws punches.Ortiz's trainer will keep that in mind in training camp.If they were to fight at welterweight I believe Ortiz will beat him.
Ortiz also punches faster and more accurate than Maidana and Khan's head movement is a problem.
Agreed, Khan's chin still doesn't convince me. Ortiz has serious power, and could definitely take him out.
LMAO @ your sig. DLH looks ridiculous with spindly arms and a massive chest :rofl:
I think this is a 50/50 fight..Khan has that beauty of a Jab,Ortiz does not have a jab which will be Ortiz's biggest problem in this fight..But Khan's chin will be the other problem,at the moment I don't know who would win..I would not mind seeing this a lil later on down the line..
Yep, Khan's jab is probably his best weapon. At the moment i'd favour ortiz to beat him. But if Khan beats Bradley (and that's no easy task, it's 50:50 IMO) and moves up strong to 147 (hopefully it'll help his chin) then it'll be a pretty even match up.
Thankfully they're both with GBP so making the fight shouldn't be too difficult :boxing:
