his fights with maidana and berto were classics. josesito lopez was a ****er as well.
dude's had such a strange career. he's the perfect example of a feast or famine fighter. sometimes you get the beast and the softie all on the same night
i remember when he was coming up as a 16 year old in the open division of the amateurs, and beating everybody up. dude had speed, power, looks, and charisma. i thought he was going to be the next oscar de la hoya. then he fought maidana, and he's never been the same guy since.
i want to add this:
i don't think i've ever seen a guy so consistently fouled behind the head as ortiz was against maidana. he would lliterally reach around his head to **** him on the brainstem. this is early period maidana, where the idea of going to the scorecards must have seemed completely foreign

But Ortiz is must-see TV, even just for some of his comments
The Berto fight was a cracker, both of those guys are rarely in a bad fight.
