    Appreciating the brilliant Carlos Ortiz.

    One of the most complete fighters to ever lace them up. Very overlooked in fantasy match ups. There's not many lightweights I'm confident would beat prime Ortiz bar Duran and Pea. Ortiz was a better fighter than JCC imo. Buchanan stopped a completely shot Ortiz so I don't rate that win.

    On his best day, I wouldn't pick anyone to bear Ortiz.

    I also have him #2 at Lightweight.

    All time great fighter.

      He really doesn't get mentioned enough in discussions of all-time greats which is a shame.

              No it's not! Like I said in the title, it's the website's. But I wouldn't argue against their ranking of Ortiz.
