    No one see the problem with the date? No way is Khan fighting the week before Pacquiao. Freddie Roach can only do so much and I can't see him being able to train two fighters for two extremely difficults bouts at the same time.

    Having said that, I love the sound of this and I hope it's true.

      I dont think it would be that much of a problem for roach, ortiz is a southpaw which is good concidering khan will be sparring with manny, its the last week of pacs training so just tapering down, nothing major. I dont get why theyd take on ortiz instead of maidana though which is a more winnable fight. Ortiz has good skills and power with both hands, either way if its maidana or ortiz, well know if khan has what it takes chin wise. Roach knows ortiz pretty well and has been at the wild card for training a year or two ago. Both roach and khan were ringside for ortiz maidana as well. Would love to see this happen. I think we'll know more after the ortiz fight this weekend, am sure HBO will mention something if its true.

        One cant take a punch the other wont take a punch.Seriously tho Khan Ortiz would be a great fight. Both have good skills and good power and both also have big question marks, Id love to see it.

          It won't be a problem for roach to train khan and pacman at the same time, as he has done it before. Rather it would be better because roach wants to use khan as a sparring partner for pacmans preperation against money may. If this does go through it would be epic. Khan-Ortiz already have fought in the amatuers where khan came out stronger by stopping him, so that adds a bit of flavour towards the fight. Maidana-alexander could also be a cracker.

                OMG although I really would love to see it I dont want this happening now. Khan/Maidana I have no problem with but I feel like Ortiz should first win a couple of fights to get his name back up just like Khan did. And Alexander should defend his title a couple of times. Then it would be a much bigger and hyped fight.

                I feel that Roach will be too focused on Pacquiao. Therefore Id like Khan to fight Maidana or winner of Diaz/Malignaggi in April.

                  This would be great boxing.
                  Khan vs Ortiz is the one for me. I cant really separate these two guys. I like both Khan and Ortiz there styles are very exciting. Also there amateur bout which Khan won makes this that bit more interesting. I'm sure Ortiz is very capable of knocking out khan, and can probably match him for speed skill and power, so i think id give the edge to Ortiz.

                  Alexander vs Maidana is a great match up as well, but for me Ortiz and Khan is the big one.

                    I like it


                    khan didnt ko ortiz, the bout was stopped due to his point advantage passing 20 pts.... hardly a KO

                      ortiz brutally knocks khan out in 3 rounds max!!! ortiz has sick power sick speed and under rated chin!!!

                      khan has better punch resistance at 140 and he has the mental edge of defeating ortiz ableit in the amatuers, khan has over rated power but great boxing skills and great speed

                      but i see ortiz being able to land and when he does khan wont be able to recover be a sick tko for ortiz and i would be betting with real money BIG on an ortiz stoppage victory


                      maidana alexander would be a good clash of styles but i see maidana outwanting him and could possibley get a late tko!!
