    Amir Khan vs Victor Ortiz @ 147 Will be FOTY 2012

    I think this will be one of the best and most anticipated fights in a long time.

    What do you think about this matchup if it happens ?

    Amir's chin isn't good enough for him to be in the fight of the year with Ortiz

    In regards to the 3 posts above, Khan's chin may improve at 147. Granted, he might be a different fighter at 147, but he would (ostensibly) fill out that thin frame a little more.

    This should be a great action fight but I'll have to wait and see what fights are we going to see next year.

    If khan unified 140lbs division then like one fight at 147 and he looks good there, then it would be an awsome matchup. As of right now I think ortiz might have too much for khan

    I wouldn't be surprised if one of them lost before then but if it did happen I'd pick Khan on points using his speed advantage.

    At this point, I'm going Ortiz stopping him in the late rounds. However, never seen Khan at 147, like Cotto and Ortiz, he could be better.

    Khan via TKO or he'd make Ortiz quit.

    Going off last outings , im leaning towards Ortiz to KO Khan

    That said Ortiz produced a career best performance in an alien weight class and Khan fought a Euro level fighter , the difference in mind sets and the way both fighters applied themselves would of been pretty big so possibly an innacurate comparison .

    Maybe what i should of said , is that looking at Ortiz against Berto , so far in Khans whole career i have never been as impressed by him as i was with Ortiz in the above mentioned , if he applies himself like that against Khan , i think he's gonna bully him and possibly KO him !!!
