Why is Amir Khan a bigger star than Victor Ortiz?

[SirTomJones]

Khan is a Pakistani Brit. Less common than what Ortiz.

[ATG Fighter]

Khan has the Brits, Pakistanis, and ******s supporting him. That is a big group. He was knocked out and came back strongly to win a title and there has been improvement in every fight of his since the defeat. He got knocked out, he didn't quit.

Ortiz doesn't have a world title and people were put off by what he said after the defeat. Khan said he would come back stronger and Ortiz said something like "I am too young to get beat up like this." Boxing fans don't like guys that quit and on top of that say things that make them seem like a pretty boy that doesn't respect the sport. Ortiz can still come back though, so don't count him out..........

all i know is.. if they ever fought.. ortiz destroys khan.. real talk..

[puga]

because khan never had the history of quitting......but if he does'nt fight maidana next, that's ducking !

[project xxx1]

all i know is.. if they ever fought.. ortiz destroys khan.. real talk..

or maybe he quits again

[Earl-Hickey]

Well they both lost in bad ways

Khan got ko'd early, but at least was trying to get up and fight

Ortiz quit against Maidana and made a concious decision to "surrender" in the ring, which is against traditional mexican values.

Khan won a world title
Ortiz did not

so thats pretty much it, plenty of time for Ortiz to catch up though, the kid is only 23, he's still a baby really.

[starkiller]

because of Khan's race and cause he didn't quit he just got KTFO

Yes, even when Khan lost. He still tried to win and tried to get up from the KO.

[Alex_Hayden]

they are both good looking and speak well.
both have loss but khans loss was much worse
both have a country behind them but ortiz is american too (like oscar)

why is ortiz fighting on undercard for khan?

Khan kinda ugly though (no ****)

Ortiz is rebuilding, Khan has been rebuilt.

[Low_ki]

because ortiz quit like a ***** over a little cut.

Khan can't help it that he has a bad chin, but Ortiz simply didn't want anymore. Ortiz committed one of the worse mistakes a young boxer can make by throwing in the towel. Ortiz had an option, but Khan didn't. Ortiz loss is worse.
