Does Victor Ortiz has the skill-set Fernando Vargas had??

And the rate of people comparing him to Vargas keeps rising, lol. If Victor Ortiz didnt train in Oxnard for a few years, would this still be happening? Victor Ortiz seems like the over all more composed, smarter ring smarts, and the more polished fighter.

no he doesn't, but he's got enough, with great will.

i never really saw alot of vargas soi cnt comment but i think ortizx is a great up and coming fighter. I wonder what his chins like though. i saw go down in the fight on the dlh -v- forbes undercard, but it was reckless and was caught flash. Has anyone ever seen him rocked??

Ortiz has a lot of POTENTIAL, and I think he could be better than Vargas. Only time will tell. He has a tough task ahead of him on Saturday against Maidana. Should he win that fight we will probably see him get a title shot against the winner of Khan-Kotelnic. We will learn a lot more about Ortiz in his next couple of fight hopefully. But he does seem to have a lot of talent and he seems like a great kid. Can't help but route for him.

I really thought Arnaoutis would test Ortiz in his last fight. I considered that a big step up for him. Then he just blew Arnaoutis out of the water. Same when he fought Maussa. Ortiz has really shined in his biggest fights so far.

I was actually wondering who the winner of the khan-kotelnik fight will have to defend the title against. Will it be the number one contender Dimitri Salita or will the WBA place more authority on the winner in fighting the interim champ Ortiz/Maidana.

No he doesnt...

I think he has more skills and intangibles than Vargas. Not to mention, he is down to earth, humble and likeable too!

wasn't vargas was beating champs at the same age ortiz is at now?

ortiz has a lot of potential, and the fact that he's southpaw helps.

I agree with this man,I was scratching my head for a second,thinking,do people really think he is not as skilled as Vargas??I'm gonna put it so,Vargas was rushed along to young and was shot before he reached his prime!!Ortiz is being brought along at just the right pace,to insure his success!!
