    Is there anything not to like about this guy? Really, any hate toward him must be fueled by anti-american or anti-latino sentiments.... the guy is exciting to watch, has overcome adversity, has real KO power, has a great attitude and overall is just good for boxing.

    I am excited about this up and comer and look forward to watching his career progress.

    Ortiz is a class act.

    Why? Has somebody been hating on him?

    I think Rafael said in his chat he has a suspect chin... other than that area (his punch resistance never was really tested in the pros) he's the total package and almost there. He's an excellent fighter and GBP have very high hopes on him if they put him in front of Kotelnik, probably the best fighter outside of Hatton and PacMan in the division.

    After his most recent win I remember reading quite a bit of negative posts toward him, and I was just thinking to myself... why?

    What hate do you speak of? I've never seen him hated on.

    Yes , his chin is relatively untested.... but its seems to me that latino fighters, especially ones who have experienced a rough upbringing , tend to have great chins and determination. I would like to see him vs some punchers.

    I have never seen him get his chin tested but the kid looks tough as nails so i dont think his chin will be a problem.
    He is the next big thing. He has it all. One of the few fighters that does out there.

    Only thing I hate about the guy is the fact that he's a southpaw. :barf:-(Yuuggghh! Other than that he's fine by me. :good I hope he can be an elite champion one day.
