    i can't remember where but i read this about 2 or 3 weeks ago, anyone know anything about it?

    I hear Ortiz is a regular at the wild card and that him and his coach sometimes have half of their camp there, sparring the wild card fighters.

    I dont know, Ortiz says he doesn't want to drop the Garcia's because they took him in when he was abandoned, so Roach can still train him but Garcia can be the assistant, much like Manny and Buboy.

    I dount he'd train both Khan and Ortiz.
    The gym would get a bit full if you know what I mean.

    well in a couple of interviews Ortiz has stated he is good friends with Roach and Manny so it could happen. besides i would think given the option Roach would chose Ortiz over Khan because he is the better fighter.

    of course he might praise him now but every coach says good **** of their trainees, but let's be realistic khan isn't gonna amount to much. Ortiz on the other hand has what it takes to be a legend.
