RAZZ-MCFC Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 i know a lot of people have Carlos Ortiz down as the greatest fighter ever to come out of Puerto Rico, can't say i've seen much of him personally as for DeJesus, all i know of him was the fights he had with Duran i would of said from what i do know that Ortiz would of won, possibly by late stoppage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
