I would actually like to see these two fight again. I feel that Ortiz would beat him in the pros. Amateur fights suit people like Khan better than they do people like Ortiz as I feel the amateurs test your boxing abilities more, things like conditioning, endurance aren't as big as factor as they are in the pros.
I would however root for Khan in this fight. Whilst I don't knock Ortiz for quitting he didn't earn my respect. Say what you will about Khan he at least tries to fight on.Comment

In the words of Fernando Vargas, "Oritz se rajo, he quit and he's not like us, he doesn't have the heart like we (Mexicans) do".
Ortiz is too soft, the first time he gets hit by Kahn he turns to his corner and says, "I don't do this to get beat up".Comment

Fernando walked it like he talked it.
I just wish that he never did the steroids. I can't forgive that.Comment
