If Lopez beats Ortiz, does he deserve a shot at Canelo?

No........

If that happens, more than likely Golden Boy will push back the PPV until October, have him fight James Kirkland.

As a Canelo fan.........both them ****ers are WWs.

It makes sense business wise but if you beat a guy that was supposed to be on ppv, don't you deserve some of that ppv money?

Yes. But if he beats Ortiz for the WBC Silver WW title, he'll get bigger and better fights. Alexander, Guerrero, Khan, he'd have plenty of good options. But Alvarez at 154??? I doubt it.

He'd earn a shot IMO, but he won't get it.
He won't make as much money as Ortiz and that's how the game goes

No. Of course not. Would be a sham fight.

Lopez to small for Canelo.

Sure, why not? I mean it's not like Canelo is an established, elite fighter now so if Lopez wins, let him have his shot. Canelo would break him in half though, KO in 5 rounds.

Definitely agree there

This is like the same rules as the Sergio Thompson vs. Jorge Linares fight had. If Linares beat Thompson he would go on to rematch DeMarco. If Thompson wins he would be ignored by the WBC. Same with Ortiz-Lopez just it's Golden Boy. If Ortiz beats Lopez he goes on to fight Canelo. If Lopez beats Ortiz he will be ignored his shot to Canelo by Golden Boy. A shot at Canelo only applies to Ortiz as it did in the Thompson-Linares fight.
Lopez is also a bit small. Ortiz is more of a WW than a SWW. I don't expect Lopez to beat Ortiz either. I doubt he wins a clear round. Ortiz will be much bigger than him on fight night. Victor Ortiz is not Jessie Vargas.
