They are both good prospects, Ortiz is more proven though as he's beaten better competition. I look forward to the day both hold titles and neither fight each other for years because of promotional issues.
Ennis likes to claim everyone is ducking him, why doesn't he fight egis or maurice hooker then? Both would take the fight no questions asked. Lets see ennis fight someone that actually shows up to win.
I quite frankly can't understand why people are saying that Ortiz has fought the better opposition. Thier opposition has been basically the same. Different fighters but their records pretty much even out. Boots has had more fights than Ortiz and I think that he is a better all around fighter. That don't mean I dislike Ortiz because he is an excellent fighter but I think that if he fought Boots, he would get stopped. Ortiz is easier than Boots to hit. What I really wanna see is either Boots or Ortiz fight Josh Taylor because I don't think that he should be able to come to 147 and get a title shot without fighting one of those two for the right.
