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.
