Dan Rafael just announced it on FNF... The Canelo camp is waiting until June 23rd to see what happens in Ortiz' fight...
Great ****ing fight if it happens...
Only reason Canelo was hesistent against mosley is because mosley is a nightmare match for mexican traditional come straight at you fighters. Even at his old age he put up a fight. Ortiz has some skills but canelo wont be as scared
Canelo won't be scared, but he should be a little weary. Ortiz is such a mystery, this dude could impress you one second and then delivering a facepalm moment in the next. This could turn out to be a FOTY that trumps Berto/Ortiz.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!
No..... only Canelo and he's after Khan
IF this fight happens I'm sure it's because golden boy want the winner to fight floyd think about it, if canelo wins it sets up a Floyd fight and if Ortiz wins it sets up a Floyd rematch.
If Canelo loses he fights Cotto for his belt and if Ortiz loses he still has the Berto rematch. it's a win win situation for GBP although I'm sure they'd prefer Canelo to win.
I'd love to see this paper champion get knocked out by Ortiz; the way he was handed his title and has been defending it against bums is a disgrace and an insult to real titleholders who fight the best out there every time.
:lol1: oh man!!!...I was watching last weekend's Showtime card and saw Oscar in the crowd sitting next to Cinnamnon....then during the Tarver fight I saw Vic sitting in that same seat Cinny was in....so Vic was chopping it up with Oscar, and I told my homie , Vic SHOULD be asking to get at Cinnamon in September...I swear!!!!...when asked about a fight btween him a Cinny a while ago...Vic laughed and said Cinny was GIVEN the WBC belt...he didn't fight anybody to be a champion...shots fired!!...that vid is on youtube some where!!
He also talked s**t and said he wasn't impressed with the Mosley win at all.
I say make it happen, it's a very good fight, and it's not Ortiz can't fight at 154. He's already a big WW, comes in over 160 on fight nights.
Ortiz can carry the weight fine. He was 164 lbs in fight night against Floyd. He's basically a MW or SMW on fight nights.
Alvarez vs Ortiz is a damn good fight in my opinion. Doubt it happens though. i think we could see Khan vs Ortiz in November. Khan wants Mayweather, and Golden Boy wants to make Khan-Mayweather, and the only way Khan is going to get the fight is by beating a Top WW like Ortiz.
Cant Canelo fight someone who isnt signed or promoted by GBP? Am sure there are fighters out there dying to get that opportunity, Not that a Ortiz fight is bad but its too soon IMO.
It depends on how Ortiz carries the weight, if he doesn't carry the weight well he'd get pushed back by Canelo and stopped. Ortiz is not a fighter that likes going backwards. If he carries the weight well, it would be a competitive fight.
Canelo stops Ortiz in about 9 rounds, I'll put up all my points if anybody can match. (All my points on Canelo winning by KO, RD9 is just a guess)
You're right on the money.
