    Victor Ortiz' next opponent will most likely be Vivian Harris

    “We want to put him in tough but definitely a notch below the current title holders,” said Eric Gomez. “We’re looking for a top-10 rated contender or a veteran with a name who is still competitive. Maybe Vivian Harris. We would like to put him in with Juan Lazcano, who gave Ricky Hatton a tough fight last year. Lovemore Ndou is another veteran we think would give Victor a good test and some rounds.

    Puas: Harris is the only one that makes sense. He's the only one of the three who's a former World Champion and the other two are coming off two back to back losses. Vivian's chin is very suspect and GBP is looking to capitalize on that. A win over the chiny Harris puts Ortiz in contention with the top guys at 140.

            Not sure if they want to take that risk this early in his young career. While Torres may be limited, that fool is freakin' dangerous. Crazy power. It's a bit chancy.

              harris got stopped by witter then got floored hard by a journeyman twice in his last fight. ortiz is taking the calzaghe route and fighting a name after he fell from the top. kinda like calzaghe fighting brewer right after echols ko'd him instead of fighting echols. even then calzaghe struggled mightily. maybe this was after he lost his murderous "punching power" or maybe he was "injured" so brewer was "lucky" to survive.

                True, should make Victor look good.

                  harris is a decent fight for a name on his resume but it doesn't prepare him for a championship.

                    Victor should be able to make quick work of Harris.
