Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Vergil Ortiz Will Beat Anybody At 147 Right Now; On Verge Of Superstardom

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Oscar De La Hoya is certain Vergil Ortiz Jr. is ready to beat any welterweight in boxing, not just Maurice Hooker. Ortiz's promoter proclaimed the undefeated contender as the best boxer in the 147-pound division Friday during a virtual press conference to promote the Ortiz-Hooker fight. That's quite a bold statement when you consider unbeaten champions Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. are among boxing's elite welterweights.

The Golden Boy speaks the truth... Vergil is a special talent with P4P potential. The kid is only 22 yrs old and is already being avoided like the plague by guys like Porter, Thurman and Garcia.

"It’s gonna be different for Vergil and, you know, the question is, will he pass the test? Will he knock Hooker out? Vergil Ortiz has been knocking everybody out, so we wanna see Vergil go several rounds."

Great step-up for Vergil!

Lol old Oscars at it again .Vergil can punch but hasn't beaten anyone yet and hasn't faced a fighter without losses on the record yet. Oscar sounds desperate since losing Canelo and this talk of a comeback isn't doing him much good either .Lets see what happens when the kid fights somebody before telling everyone he's the best out there.

I don't get why people acting like he's going to be the next Tommy Hearns at welterweight

You're only as good as your competition......( message to Vergil Ortiz & Boots Ennis)

I can't put much stock into these guys until they actually face some good comp.

I'm with oscar. Let ortiz get some rounds in and go for a late ko. Hooker is a step down from herrera and orozco but hopefully he fights crawford next

[NachoMan]

Ortiz KO3 Hooker. Then let's see Ortiz v Spence in Texas.
