One lacklustre fight does not make the man a poor fighter. It was more Scott being negative than Ortiz not performing well.

Ortiz couldn't stop Malik Scott?!?!?! HAHAHA I mean I know Scott can be slick and crafty, but damn not for an entire fight.

He did not look all that great against Tony Thompson either. If Chisora can close the gap against the rabbit why can't Kong?

Scott was winning the fight against Chisora, he was losing everything against Ortiz.

Re: Fighters who never lived up to their nickname
Speaking of Malik, his nickname is "King".
He went down to "Prince" after Chisora, "Duke" after Wilder, and "Court Jester" after Ortiz.
