Ortiz why is he fighting Harris

[broxi51]

better match ups than shot harris

peterson, urango or harris's last foe matyhesse are all good options, if he's going to go for the either of the top 4 he's got to be facing better oppo than harris.

Maybe GBP feels he ain't ready for a dangerous opponent yet, they wanna give him confidence boosters or some crap. His last fight was ok though, Campbell can still give anyone problems.

cause boxing is about winning more than about fighting the best and its easier to win against a shot fighter than against someone good.

Just because the top fighters nowadays are doing that doesn't mean boxing has always been like that.

If this was 8 to 12 years ago you would never see someone like Manny Pacquiao climb as high up in weight and have success by picking off bums.

Even Mayweather new his place back in those days, he was at his prime and there were far more "money-oriented" fights to be made in the Welterweight class for him but he wasn't ****** enough to make his move until they all got old.

As for Ortiz he's got a way to go before he's a better version of his old self. This is just one of those fights to bring him back and hopefully improve on the flaws that he has.
