I can easily envision Ortiz stopping Hatton.
Ortiz doesn't have the heart. Maidana and Floyd proved this.
I don't think he would need heart against Hatton. I honestly believe that fight would have been over within a couple of rounds. The combination of Hatton rushing in, him being a sucker for straight lefts, and Ortiz' size and power would make it a short night in my mind.

I like Hatton and I think he was a very good fight, but I just think that Ortiz would have been all wrong for him.
Spot on. Ortiz is bigger, stronger, equally fast and better boxer. His heart proven vs his fight with Berto. I'm talking about the Ortiz that beat Berto though.
