    should the guy just move up?

    he dont got to many junior welterweight fights left in him like the comentators said.

    and hydrating up to 156 is kinda much.

    plus i think he would carry his power well.

    He hasn't really done anything at 140. I would still like to see him fight at least the loser of bradley-alexander then if he could beat either bradley or alexander go fight the winner of khan-bradley/alexander winner.

    Although he is big enough to fight at 147 i still think those boys will be too big for him. Berto would dominate him and proly knock him out. I still pick an old mosley to beat him if he moves up right now.

    Ortiz looks like he's in love with his power. Moving up to fight bigger guys means they would take his punches better.

    Ortiz did not lose the fight, the judges were criminal and imagined the fight was a draw!

    Well if Ortiz moves up to 147lbs. GBP should pull a Top Rank and do an in house fight with Ortiz vs Canelo Alvarez!

    How does moving to welterweight make sense?
