Amir Khan vs Victor Ortiz

[khan_no_1]

This could be a fight which could possibly happen at some stage, but if it were to happen who would think would win and why?

[amat]

Right now I think Ortiz would brutalize Khan. Ortiz is very good, a southpaw with power who has a killer right hook. I know Khan wouldn't be able to jump in at Ortiz, Ortiz has nice timing he would catch Khan. Not to mention he's 2 divisions bigger. Well maybe he's 140 but he's as big as a welterweight and most of his fights have been at some sort of catch weight.

This one can wait. Khan still has a lot of work to do I'm really not blown away by him like others are. Nice prospect but not a contender yet and certainly not ready to jump divisions and take on the best.

I always forget about Ortiz when I talk about 140 despite him being one of my favorite fighters. He's not to far off of a title belt.

There is a changing of the guard that is going to occur pretty soon at 140. Peterson, Ortiz, Alexander are the future of that division, Khan would fall to all of them imo.

Ortiz all the way...

I think boxes well early on but get's careless and Victor catches 'em...

I like both kids, both very talented in their respective styles but I feel Victor has the edge. One thing that should be noted is Victor can box. I know he's known as a puncher but the kids box as wel...

Ortiz would torture Con. Con wouldn't make it out the 2nd round

I'm high on Ortiz but for me as a prospect he's not active enough, at least lately. Needs to fight every couple months.

Completely agree with this statement.
I mentioned this on one of the YouTube videos of his that he needs to fight more often.

Ortiz would have to be insane to go back down to 135 and fight khan.

Too many possibilitys for him at 140/147 to even think about fighting at lightweight.

Khan will only come up to 140 when he is either an established world champ at 135 or warren doesnt wanna risk him against casa/nate and sees his chances much better at LW

Didn't Ortiz get dropped in his last fight?

Despite that I think it would be an easy win for Ortiz!

[Fenster]

Khan stopped Ortiz in the amateurs

[Kirkland Laing]

I've only seen Ortiz fight once but he looks physically bigger than Khan. I think Khan is a better boxer though.

Khan stopped Ortiz in the amateurs

Like that means anything in the pros.

You do know that Ortiz was "tortured" and didn't make it past 2 rounds when he fought "Con" in the amateurs in 2003??

I doubt that he would torture Khan, Khan is much more technically skilled than Ortiz and would probably stop him in the late rounds. Saying that Khan does need to tighten up his defense a bit more, other than that he is coming along perfectly. People keep saying he fightin bums etc but thats due to Warren, Khan will soon be leaving him, you heard it here first!

Don't worry about VD, he just hates British boxers. It doesn't matter if Khan becomes pound for pound number one, VD still won't rate him.

Personally I'm hoping Casamayor keeps winning so that eventually Khan can KO him.

Con will keep winning. No doubt. Especially considering the shot fighters and bums he's facing. Seriously does anybody really think Gomez has a chance?

[Saddo]

Seriously does anybody really think Gomez has a chance?

its all down to how much you rate Khan in the first place...

I think Gomez might just shock a few people mate

he aint the fighter he used to be but if he connects he'll hit Khan harder than hes ever been hit.

really supprised with this matchup as Gomez has a good chance of winning this IMO i think they are underestimating him BIGTIME
