Would you guys give Ortiz crap for moving to 147?

He needs to move up IMO...I think some of you feel the same way he rehydrated to 156 and I think he can rehydrate to 160 if he goes to 147...Plus I wanna know who you think Ortiz should hire as a new trainer?

My three choices are Roach, Barestein, or Mayweather Sr...Barestein seems to have more time for it though

I think this would be a great idea. Nobody makes a 141lb catchweight for no reason. He must be struggling to get down. Plus most of his recent fights have been at 144. I say he should move up. There's more opportunities up there anyways. Imagine Canelo vs Ortiz at Staples Center.

i think rios should too....rios also rehydrates to 150+ and hes at 135 lol

I wouldn't give him heat... but now's not a good time to move up with all the talent in 140. Everyone would accuse him of ducking.

I think him and Canelo need new trainers,I'm a big fan of Ortiz and yes a new camp with different tactics will serve him good.

I say Ortiz makes an attempt at a 147 pound fight with his new trainer then go after Jan Zaveck for his IBF title...Roach would be down for this task he wanted Ortiz before Khan...

This is an excellent idea. I am certain Ortiz will be a world champion in the future.

[Evil Abed]

Ortiz vs. Canelo would be epic.

He should target Alfonso Gomez.

I think its a good idea.

Canelo and Ortiz should train together with Barestein in Mexico...Maybe Ortiz is too distracted by his life in LA...He needs to find the inner Mexican in him and what better way then to have him train with Barestein and Marques with Canelo...them three can be on the same card for a cinco de mayo weekend...

Now's a good time to move up to 147. Ortiz is a big Jr Welterweight, also, he is on the outside looking in at 140. He wont get a crack at either Khan or the winner of Bradley-Alexander anytime soon. Plus, apart from Berto, there's not much talent left at the top of the 147 lb rankings after Pacquiao and Mayweather cleaned it out.

He has options at 147, Berto, a potential fight with Canelo late next year. If he stays at 140, the only fights he can make will be with the loser of Bradley-Alexander or a rematch with Maidana.
