    Against Mayweather he was simply outclassed, so what would you like Ortiz's next move to be?

    Rematch Berto then go for another title, he may have been outclassed by the best for a generation but he is still at the top of the division

    Wait for Khan to lose to Mayweather, and fight him.

    Really? Retire?

    Nah. he's always entertaining, hits hard, gets hit a lot, is young and could easily come again.

    Rematch Berto first. Then see how the landscape at 147 / 154 is.

    Ortiz has a long and exciting career ahead of him, that much is for sure. I think he'll end up a fully fledged light middle eventually.

    The obvious fight now is rematch Berto.

    Beat a contender or go straight into a rematch with Berto for the IBF.

    He was'nt fighting Pac :hey

    A rematch with Berto makes the most sense and is very fan friendly and easy to sell, after that(if he comes through it) then fight Khan in his coming out party at WW.

    This.

    If he doesn't like boxing, he might as well just retire on the back of his career high payday.

    I'd like him to stick around tho, he is ok to watch (when he isn't headbutting like a bull)

    what he was playing at against PBF, if he had to apologise then do it once on the break and get back to business.
    dont forget how he was broken mentally by maidana and was contemplating retiring afterwards.
    there does seem to be a little something missing
