    This would have been a really good match up. Both have fought Kid Gavilan and were in some great fights. You have the fancy stylist boxer Bratton and the all-action brawler Ortega. Who would you have favored between the two?

    It might depend on what stage of Bratton's career they fight. Around the time that Bratton won the NBA title, he was a slick, speedy all-around boxer/fighter. After losing the title, he increasingly adopted a more flatfooted, powerpunching approach, which made for some thrilling slugfests but also exposed him to taking much more punishment & an occasional upset loss (i.e. to Tiger Jones).
