How bout Ortiz vs Canelo Sept 15?

That would be a great event, it would also be a successful PPV unlike Canelo-Lara/Kirkland/K-9..ect.

Could be a good fight, only issue is that Ortiz was just at 140 recently and Canelo would be to strong for him.

They would get my PPV money.

I'd be up for that.

He was supposed to fight berto on showtime, and josito is taking Berto's place...Unless you guys are inplying that AFTER His showtime fight, he can take kirkland's place in september...maybe that can happen, who knows...But I want Ortiz to beat canelo so bad Yea i'd think after. He probably wants a tuneup of sorts. september 15 may be a bit too close though in case he gets a cut.

Great match-up. Wonder who would be the favorite going into the fight?

I think Ortiz goin to 154 for Canelo shouldnt be a problem. Hes been takin shots at Canelo for a couple weeks now anyway. That definitely still lives up to its ppv name "knockout kings" ..Ortiz shouldnt take too much damage on 23rd anyway. i think it should happen and i think it would sell Then again if that happens we screwing two more fighters from Canelos division, #1 Vanes and #3 Lara... Have to be one of those two because it is a mandatory defense.

isn't that for Ortiz's next fight only? He was supposed to fight berto on showtime, and josito is taking Berto's place...Unless you guys are inplying that AFTER His showtime fight, he can take kirkland's place in september...maybe that can happen, who knows...But I want Ortiz to beat canelo so bad

Uhhh...Ortiz has a deal with showtime, if Im not mistaken, Canelo has a deal with HBO...Fight wont happen this soon isn't that for Ortiz's next fight only?

that makes way too much sense to actually happen.

I cant see GBP putting these two together even tho they do not like each other.

NO. Canelo has taken enough criticism for not fighting top contenders in the 154 pound weight class. The last thing he should do is fight a welterweight. He is trying to get fights with Williams, Kirkland, Trout, Bundrage or Lara. They are all champions or high ranked contenders at 154. Ortiz must beat someone good at 154 and earn a ranking first. You don't get a tittle shot at 154 by getting KOed at 147. I know Canelo was given his tittle but two wrongs don't make a right.

I say this everytime someone talks about Canelo, Ortiz, & Khan vs eachtoehr. GB is not putting these guys against eachother unless they have to. They want these 3 young guys to carry the company. They all can make money so why have them cut eachothers head off? They arent going to do it. Im even now starting to add Cotto into that mix because I think he will be GBP affiliate

Good Idea, do you guys think they would cancel the Ortiz vs Lopez fight or use that as a tune up ?? they were doing this with Canelo vs Kirkland anyways ... who knows maybe they're down for it Kirkland can't draw like Ortiz can. He has crossover potential. Kirkland is an all action warrior, but he doesn't draw like Canelo or even Ortiz does. They'll try to build Canelo vs Ortiz up for later down the line with trash talking they're doing.

I would love this fight but it would be smarter for them to build Canelo up more because this is almost a guaranteed loss right now. Give him another step up before Ortiz.

Good Idea, do you guys think they would cancel the Ortiz vs Lopez fight or use that as a tune up ?? Love this fight. But GBP isn't puting two young stars against each other from their own stable. they were doing this with Canelo vs Kirkland anyways ... who knows maybe they're down for it

That'd be damned good but I doubt it'll be made. Too risky for the kid they're trying to make into a star. Ortiz is sort of 'damaged goods' until he makes a comeback, so if Canelo lost to Ortiz it might be a major setback.

Common Floyd opponent and somebody who already did a PPV....why not.Canelo's accustomed to fighting WW's for his belt anyway

Love this fight. But GBP isn't puting two young stars against each other from their own stable.
