For what it's worth they fought in the Junior Olympic final and Khan gave him 3 standing counts before the referee stopped it. Ortiz couldn't even come close to dealing with Khan's speed.
Although things could be different now but i reckon Khan would be well confident and i'm not so sure Ortiz would be keen on the fight.
That's interesting, I did not know that. Obviously the pro's are a different game, but that does not bode well for my prediction (not like the fight will ever happen).

:confused:
He just moved up to a new weight class, fought a solid (if unspectacular) belt holder, and won the title in a one-sided rout. All this three fights and less than a year removed from being brutally knocked out in less than a round in front of his fans. He's also a regular sparring partner for the best P4P fighter in the sport - an ATG and a man who is poised to solidify himself as one of the top fighters of all time.
I'd say that's stepping up to the plate in a big way. What more could he reasonably do?
Re: Khan-Maidana In The Works?
No way Khan fights Maidana next. He's guaranteed at least one easy fight before they take risks with him.
