Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Advises Victor Ortiz To Retire From Boxing

[Mzembe]

Oscar is an anus

Two years ago Oscar was 100% sure that Ortiz was going to destroy Floyd (just like he was 100% sure Hatton, Marquez, Shane, Cotto, Guerrero, Canelo would all beat Floyd).

Next he's going to be very vocal about Amir Khan's speed will be the key to beating Floyd.
Oscar is a worthless human piece of scum. He is the second coming of Don King and Bob Arum and needs to shut the fork up.

Everyone called Ortiz a quitter until he destroyed Berto. He is 27 and can still fight albeit as a gate-keeper of the WW division. Heck, I would even bet that Ortiz beats Tim Bradley but we all know that fight never happens especially after last night

I really feel @VICIOUSortiz should call it a day and enjoy his young life.

He should walk away. He clearly doesn't want to fight for a living, so why try? Boxing isn't a sport where you can fake it.

Perfectly put.

Ortiz is young and strong and had a hunger to win until he got clipped last night. The Floyd ko was off guard and he was beat Josesito until he got his jaw disfigured. I was sitting there telling my wife before the fight that Callazo was too tough of an opponent for someone who has been out of the ring since mid 2012 and that proved to be the case. Victor fought well early but was too wild, too open and got caught with too good a shot from a fighter who was too good for him too be fighting in his first fight back. Dont forget he also caught two more on the back of the head as he was trying to take a knee. This kid has never been outclassed or out gunned except for vs.Mayweather. I think he still can have a good career if the build him back up properly. People always rush to say a fighter should retire without looking at the entire body of facts. Ultimately its his choice and if Oscar doesnt want to promote him then thats his choice. I also think Victor is and has always been better suited for 140. Just my opinion

yep ortiz is done

[New England]

Wasn't but 2 years ago that Oscar handed him the blue print.
At least he has face lube to fall back on

f#ck...

[Masterclass775]

I agree. Time to hung em up

[Cleto_Reyes]

Go back to promoter his cologne. Otrtiz make a good clothe designer

[SCEN3RY]

If he wants to fight, he has to commit to boxing. It's already a difficult sport, don't make it harder by doing other things. You'd have to be truly special to have another career and still be among the top of the sport. I think he should come back against a smaller guy, lighter puncher, and then maybe a Peterson rematch at 47 or something. I mean GB gives Amir Khan some lightweights to bounce back from, why can't they do the same for Vic? Just make sure the guy has a below 40% ko ratio and take it from there.

Vic needs to get with a trainer that will tighten up his guard and have him throw straighter shots, those wide punches are an invitation to counters.

I agree with him. He should have taken an easier fight and built his way up, but he's taken too much punishment to the jaw for someone his age. He's my favorite fighter but it was sad seeing him end his career that way.

Thats the thing though, collazo was supposed to be an easy fight. Also collazo doesnt have much power so thats also why he was hand picked. That ortiz got KOed so early by him shows how bad he is these days

[KingTito]

Ortiz looked to have the goods at one point. It's a shame. I was hoping he could come back. I don't want to write anyone off, especially at that young an age, but he just doesn't seem to have it.
