    I was gonna say this ^^..
    Just give it some time. It won't be that long before we're hearing Ortiz talked about like those other guys. There's about to be a 'changing of the guard' at WW and JrWW pretty soon I think...

      Garcia is a really good fighter who has improved quite a bit but his social media following is due to his having model looks. But that doesn't take away the fact that he is a top lightweight who can seriously fight.

        Him and Lopez are the best young prospects. Vergil vs Vargas was a crazy fight, I scratch my head at how little hype he gets compared to the other guys. I suppose he doesn't have the right demographic or good looks like Ryan Garcia (who has more female fans than male probably).

          Vergil is definitely the wild card that nobody mentions. Its always haney, lopez, ryan garcia, shakur stevenson.

          Vergil, Boots Ennis, and maybe even gabriel flores are kind of lurking in the shadows.

            Blame Oscar, Ortiz doesn't run his mouth like the other guys is the only reason why I guess. Or maybe he needs to step it up on the competition he's facing

              He has a personality of a cold burrito. You gotta have more than fighting ability to be a star.

              Dude is so wooden like he took lessons from Chad Dawson.

                because he's quiet, fights on DAZN and doesn't look like a ****sexual model like Ryan.

                  He is much bigger than all of them and he is not fighting at 135 that is why but Ortiz for sure gets talked about as next up at 147

                    Maybe the people aren't impressed. I'm more impressed with Julio Cesar Martinez than Ortiz or Ramirez. I think they'll end up going nowhere. Don't see the wow factor.

                      I wouldn't blame Oscar either. You are born with the it factor or not. Maybe they are not that special or promotable.
