This just came in my mind, because Victor Ortiz is probably in Bud's list of possible opponents: Ortiz, Berto, Mike Alvarado, Joshua Clottey, Brandon Rios, Josesito Lopez
But Ortiz in his prime was a young phenomenon, I don't think people realize how young he was when he fought Maidana. He may have "quit", but he dropped Maidana several times in that fight, and nobody was able to do that since.
His best win obviously being a prime undefeated Berto. Was Berto a hbo hypejob? Yes. But Ortiz beating him is better than any Bud win imo, especially the way he did it. Ortiz may not be the most focused/determined, but he had it all together in that fight
I know Bud either fights washed up former champs (Amir Khan/Kell Brook) or undefeated no hopers (Indongo) so it's tough to say if he would even fight a prime Ortiz, but if he did, who'd win?
I gotta go with Ortiz.
