It was a good start to getting back in the picture but saying that the win against Ortiz grants him fights against Thurman , Broner, Paulie , Maidana , Bradley , Etc is like saying that Anthony Mundine " stoppage win" over Mosley was great and gets him a fight with Martinez , Cotto, Alvarez.
His win over Ortiz is much better than any win Thurman or Broner have ever had, and I don't think his losses in any way detract from his merit as a fighter, except maybe the Mosley fight. That's the only time he's been soundly beaten, and it was certainly no worse than losses everyone else you listed have taken more recently than that. It's in no way like saying anything about Mundine imo.
