Carlos Ortiz was not going to fight Jose Napoles (ever), and new Lightweight Champion
Ismael Laguna was the smartest cat around, and knew avoiding Napoles was the

I agree, given that Napoles put himself in the no.1 contender position, there was no way he was ever going to force a fight with Carlos Ortiz. It was impossible and much more fruitful to do what he did for the next 3 years.
