KHAN got more HEART than ORTIZ

[BetterCallSaul]

Khan is now better defensively than both Maidana and Ortiz, the only thing in question is his chin. However Khan can beat both if he fights on the outside and covers up well.

khan is brave but chin...

[DrewWoodside]

When Prescot knocked Amir down the 1st time, he did not only immediatly stand up when he was clearly hurt but he also gave the ref the sign to continue the fight despite the fact that Amir was "all over the place". And then when Prescott knocked him down again, Khan was in a very bad state but he still tried to get up. We all saw he didn't succeed.

But Ortiz on the hand just basicly threw in the towel. I don't blame him because the swelling was very bad but I don't see Khan ever doing this. At a young age in the beginning of a fighters carreer it is very hard to continue fighting when you get hurt very badly.

I'm not hating on Ortiz because I admire him as a fighter and his personality and I also feel that he could have won last night against Maidana if he just kept his composure.

P.S.: Khan beat and stopped Ortiz at the amateurs. Just like to mention it.

Ortiz got up after he got knocked down. And he got bombed. He even went on to finish the round despite having bambi legs. He then went on to floor El Chino twice in the next round. That you think Khan has more heart based on this performance is 100% ******ed. Typical NSB nonsense.

We can safely say Khan won't rule the world either and like Isaid either Maidana or Ortiz would take him out.

He has a glass chin and a glass body.

And please leave the british bias alone and don't put Calzaghe along with the ''exceptional ATG's''.He ain't there.

That's Bollocks mate... And YOU know it!.... Caz derails the 'biggest' of freight trains..

Fancy biting on to half a maggot while Khaning it.. Should be ashamed!

Small minds Small places.. Ring a bell by any chance?

What's bollocks?

Only bollocks I saw is saying Calzaghe is a ''genuine ATG'' and listing him with guys like Monzon,Hagler,etc.

Lets be real Khans got more heart than MOST fighters. The guy always gets up or at very least tries to, there is no quit in the kid

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

With Ortiz its not a lack of heart its a lack of talent. When he quit he was done because he was beat. He had nothing left and with his defense he was going to do nothing but take a beating. His eyes were glazed in the corner and his corner was ready to stop it before the last round. Ortiz is Fernando Vargas with less talent. You cant judge a mans heart for quiting when they are beat. He didnt have a chance.

To the bold, this fight reminded me in one aspect of the sorta recent Choi Tseveenpurev-Derry Mathews fight, in that a hyped prospect was made to look soft and got laid waste to by a crude but very rugged and determined journeyman. Obviously it's a different level, but the way Ortiz came undone and looked utterly exposed in there recalled that.


I found the US fanfare around Ortiz prior to last night as bewildering as the UK domestic hype around Mathews, that he was a seeming lock to clean up 140lb and take on Floyd down the line - had to wonder what I was missing because I didn't see it.


Not to say this is the end for him, but he's clearly a long way off those expectations.
