    Very original comeback.

    That merely shows you are conceeding because you have no further point to make, and have been put in your place.

    Probably but lets see him with a decent figher with a punch and see how he copes

    No. He'll be good and probably will win a belt, but I'm not convinced by any means that he's better than Timothy Bradley or Lamont Peterson long-term.

    Not quick enough John. :D

    Anyway, back on topic.

    I think Ortiz is a fantastic prospect, amongst the best in boxing today. He's progressed at a very nice rate. I think it's important that his '0' has gone also. Although it wasn't a proper loss, it still shows a '1' in the losses column. That means he doesn't have to worry about being held back as much, he's not much of a cash cow as he would be with an '0'. He can go about his business without the ridiculous levels of hype that somebody like Amir Khan got, and can move up in competition level at a progressive rate.

    I don't think he will rule 140 within the next year as some as saying, but in the future, who knows?

    So why do you have more natural power in either hand?

    Do you believe one's body is designed to have one side stronger than the other? One arm stronger than the other.

    It's habit. If your right handed, you use your right hand to write, to picks things up, to cut your food, you feel comfortable with it and therefore punch with it more often than not.

    Your part about Tito's right hook and straight left being better than his legendary and devasting left hook and excellent straight right was just laughable.

    I believe I have seen Ortiz fight once and he looked good. Doesn't he have a lost and if he does, with who. Also, isn't Peterson on the verge of becoming a star himself. Well, he and his brother.

    Oh, I also was a strong right hander, but could throw harder punches with my left. I did switch once in a while when I knew it could help me in a fight, but mainly stayed with what worked. It is a good surprise for your opponent.
