ever since their last fight i've had this fight in my head. I honestly wasn't very impressed with Ortiz or Khan but saw that they both had advantages and flaws that they could take advantage of.
I'm beginning to think that Khan is very much like Paul Williams in the sense that they both have incredible skill and physical advantages, but i think once Khan faces a fighter who can **** and hold his own in a boxing match, his flaws will be exploited. Maidana was losing badly, and was still able to get to him.
Ortiz's shine is gone as the next big thing in the sport, but he's still a solid fighter with power, speed, and boxing ability, IMHO he just lacks the killer instinct most great fighters have. He looked good not great against Peterson but was still being outboxed at times, then again Peterson shouldn't be looked at as anything less then a top fighter.
I hope this fight gets made, cause I think that if it did it would make for a great one, and it would bring a lot out of both fighters. Sure Khan could outwork and outbox Ortiz but Ortiz could make things very uncomfortable for Khan and hit him with some hard shots he never saw coming.
I'm not saying this fight couldn't be a onesided borefest cause these day, according to some, most fights are, just that it has the making of being a great fight between 2 of the best fighters in their division.
