Realistic Chances Of Ortiz Beating Canelo?

Discuss.??? This fight will be like Tito Trinadad vs Fernando Vargas and ortiz is going to get Vargased

It depends on how he looks tonight, if he looks focused and strong then I give him a pretty good chance, over 50% actually, but if he looks like crap then I think Canelo would have the edge.

I give Ortiz a 70% chance for success. I think Alvarez is coming along, but Ortiz is a step ahead of him.

50/50 fight to me. Ortiz can beat Canelo.

I could definitely see Ortiz beating Canelo. Let's remember that Canelo has somewhat of a questionable chin himself, I still haven't forgotten that he was almost pulverized by Jose Cotto a few years back. Of course, he's gotten better but his stamina is still questionable as well, at least judging by the way he fights in spurts. Ortiz has tons of power, it remains to be seen tho which Ortiz shows up, and well, actually we still have to see how he looks tonight vs Lopez, nothing is set in stone and 2012 has been a bizarre year to say the LEAST.........

How effective can his power be at 154? I think that's what it comes down to. His power has seemed to be effective at 147 in the Berto fight. We'll see again tonight. To me, not so much his punch, 'cause maybe his power isn't that effective but Canelos is not slick at all. Ortiz has enough power to keep anyone around his weight honest. To me it comes down Ortiz chin, cause the ginger can bang and he comes from different places so you can bet the house he's gonna connect a couple of good ones.

ortiz is very much in this fight. i dunno why anyone would think he isnt.

Ortiz is gonna beat him like a redheaded stepchild.

Eh I actually think Ortiz has a good chance of winning, if I was a betting man I'd place money on him depending on the odds. Really speaking people assuming that Canelo will steam roll Ortiz and before that Paul Williams remind me of the people thinking that Bute would steam roll Froch. Ortiz isn't as tough as Froch but like Froch he has faced stiffer opposition than his opponent. List me the fighters Canelo has been in the ring with who are on the level of Mayweather, Maidana, Peterson and Berto? When people were suggesting Canelo would dominate Williams, list me the opponents on Canelo's resume who surpass Martinez, Lara, Quintana and even Ishida. Fans complain about fighters not fighting the best yet overhype fighters who fight cans and hold it against fighters who take a challenge and lose.

Realisticly, of course he can do it. Imo, it depends on his chin though. Canelo is a good puncher but he doesn't box that well and he slows down as the fight goes on. He punches harder, is more accurate and smarter in the ring than Ortiz. Ortiz is better overall, is a bit faster, had fought better opposition and has that lead hand. He comes to fight and he can take it for sure.

I think Ortiz is a live underdog.

This is a 50/50 fight, who ever wins will get mayweather and be a superstar because Ortiz and Canelo can beat mayweather right now. I think Ortiz-Canelo will be like Ortiz-Mayweather but this time around Canelo gets KTFO around 8.

I'd say he has like a 20 or 25 percent chance.

NONE, that's why they choose him.
