        Many thought that, myself included. Buttt...Maidana derailed that train after he whooped him. Honestly I thought after he beat Berto he redeemed himself as a fighter with heart, then Floyd fiasco happened. It seems like the boxing public is willing to give him a chance, but he's had so many letdowns. The Lopez and Collazo fights didn't help him either. I believe he's missed his moment and will be more of a gatekeeper type of fighter. I think him and Berto rematching would be fun at this point, since both seem shot. It's amazing how the landscape of boxing can be changed almost overnight with certain wins/loses.

          TBA will be some Steve Upsher kind of guy. The rebuilding of Ortiz continues. I wish him luck!

                Absolutely. He will get fights if he wants them but he will never be what I thought he was going to be back then. Its a mere 3 years later and you can argue he should just retire.

                One punch and things change so dramatically. Then again, Vic operated a lot like Broner-thought he would be given everything and forgot it had to be earned.

                  I was a huge Ortiz fan until the Lopez fight. Once I realised he was nothing more than a tree with some gnarly punches, bro. I gave up on him. He had his opportunities but doesn't have the heart to follow through. Maidana brutalised him but I thought he had bounced back nicely and truly believed his skill set would take him far. Sadly, his acting career has surpassed his in ring profession, what a sad waste of talent. I mean, for a tree.

                    The guy was destroyed by the light punching Collazo, hard to get excited about Ortiz anymore.
