    The prob people are going to have with ortiz is the fight where he totally pussied out, forgive me but i can't remember who it was against. Wasn't it Maidana?

    yes mate it was

    but tell me is he a bigger ***** for getting in the ring and fighting or for a khan, a world champion, to not even having the balls to fight him.

    i feel for maidana abit, he's done all he can do to get a world title shot and bam, still dont get 1

    You really think Khan can take a shot from Zab?

    Judah's still deadly for four rounds. He managed to rock Clottey before basically quitting. Hand speed, movement, serious power = fatal for Khan, but I can see Bradley or Alexander nullifying him, particularly Bradley.

    He's a non-starter in a tournament unless he racks up a few good wins. He still has the physical talent though.

    That said, Khan facing the Diaz/Marquez winner is pathetic whichever way you cut it. Don't accuse anyone of ducking you when that's your next fight prospectively.

    I personally feel Khan should be fighting him (Maindana), as it would be the first time since the KO he would have been in a ring with a genuine puncher.
    And with regards to Ortiz, i didn't mean to disrespect the fact he is ballsy enough to get in a ring at all, but in terms of a fighter and how they should perform, i think it was apparant that it just wasn't there for him on that night.
    Khan in reality though, should be fighting one of them. He ion the verge of being world class, but needs to at least beat one of these guys to convince many people he is ready for Bradley, let alone Alexander!

    Not the kind of post I'd expect from you, mate.

    Khan was hit with a belter by Prescott and still got up and tried to continue, only to be dropped again. Prior to that, how many times has Khan been dropped and got back up? After the Prescott fight he went straight on Sky and did an interview and gave numerous interviews in the subsequent days after his humbling. After the fight, Khan claimed 'I'm going to come back stronger', which, to his credit, he has done.

    Ortiz not only quit against Maidana, but he also shied away from the media for weeks after his infamous 'I'm not gonna lie down for anyone' (or words to that effect) line.

    Khan's attitude during and after the Prescott fight is what made me a fan of him. He's got the heart of a champion and even the stupid hating ****s that dislike him for assinine reasons should be able to see that as well. Ortiz clearly has nowehere near the same sort of heart or balls as Khan does.

    It's a moot point. Zab ain't got the legs to chase him for the full 12 or the heart to eat his triple jab all night.

    Sure, he's got a punchers chance, like most fighters will have against khan. But Khan takes it 9 times out of 10.

    :lol:sorry mate, just dont like the way ortiz gets shot down all the time. i really the like the kid. u ever download the HBO podcasts. the interview when he talks about his childhood, which obviously still plays on his mind alot was quite sad. i just feel the maidana fight was 1 fight to soon and think he'll come back stronger.

    Khan on the other hand needs to fight a banger to exercise his demons and imo the longer he leaves it the worst it'll get. he cant be that stupid to see he's being protected and needs to put his foot down with golden boy
