No way I never see this when people bring it up, it is not an even match up especially now since I see khan in there with maidana. Ortiz just isn't the fighter he was cracked up to be, he is very good and I thought the maidana loss was just a blip initially, but the kid really hasn't got it upstairs. He is astonishingly easy to hit, and I mean by guys that aren't even that accurate. He doesn't throw any particularly effective straight punches he needs to be close to his opponent to get off with hooks, he has good speed, but lamont peterson showed he was faster which does not bode well for ortiz against khan who is phenomenally quick. He is decent enough technically but khan will murder him with his speed, and up the middle.
At the very highest level, khan is a tough kid like maidana, and bradley all these guys are mentally top level as well as physically, ortiz imo is not. When the going gets tough he looks for a way out, he has looked for a way out in gym wars and sparring. Things against khan will get very tough very quickly for ortiz, I think he gets stopped mid rounds from accumulation of damage most likely on his stool.
