I don't know what to say about Quitor Ortiz anymore. That's the third time he quit, first against maidana, then against mayweather, and now against lopez.
Whatever happened to the Victor Wartiz who fought toe to toe against Bertroid?
Are people even going to be interested in Maidana/Ortiz anymore?

getting hit with 2 flush shots and being unable to continue doesn't necessarily make someone a quitter, and I personally don't really blame him for not wanting to continue after he got his jaw broken.
I still think the only legitimate time he quit was against Maidana.
I see two things Ortiz can do.
He can enforce his rematch clause with Lopez, and do that fight late in the year. Or he can give Andre Berto a rematch next, if Berto isn't suspended. Those are the only two things that he can do, without being completely out of the mix.
If I were him, look to fight Lopez immediately, as soon as possible. If he wins that, give Andre Berto a rematch. If he wins those, he's right back in the mix again. Of course, you never know with Ortiz.
The guy is in serious danger of becoming a Mayorga or Fernando Vargas.
