How old is Luis Oriz

Will see tonight is age is nothing but a number.

In J. O. Boxing (Junior Olympics 12 to 16 yrs) or Junior Division Open Class (below 19 yrs) is their an advantage to lie about age. Once you are an Open Class competitor it makes no difference how old you are! Bingo! This is the fatal flaw in the conspiracy theory that Ortiz is really 50 years old. It would mean he didn't go pro until 43 and was actually in his late 30s in amateur tournaments where we can clearly see he looks like a young man in his mid 20s.

Ortiz was a very good heavy in the amateur Cuban program but internationally he never won any major tourney's out side of Cuba' s in house competition. Ray

He sparred with Felix savon more than 20 years ago that should tell you something

Cubans lie about their age to dominate Amateur boxing. Yes, that's very true. But Ortiz started so late that lying about his age wouldn't have gained him that advantage.

International boxing registration shows him to be 38 years old. If he's 38 or 42 he still has his amateur fights and pro fights to draw off. The legs go first so it will be interesting to see if Wilder comes to him or if Wilder makes him move forward. Very intriguing match up unless his legs are completely gone. Ray

I heard a rumor he punched out Christoper Columbus when he reached Cuba

I heard Ortiz used to wrap Jack Johnson's hands when he was a kid. When Johnson was a kid I mean.

That's a question that's fascinated scholars for century your majesty. I found this in the Gospel of Matthew 1:2 But of course in the Dead Sea Scrolls there's mention of Methuselah being considered a youngster next to a certain 'LuizOrteez' who may or may not be the same person.:lol1::lol1::lol1:

He fought on the Tunney Vs Dempsey card.

amir mansour says he has a very good source who was on the cuban boxing team who said hes at the very least 48 years old. Any link to the interview?? Cubans lie about their age to dominate Amateur boxing.

The question is if he is older than 38 why would he lie?

I heard he played Stymie on The Little Rascals

My mum told me he used to deliver her paper when he was a child in the 60's

That's a question that's fascinated scholars for century your majesty. I found this in the Gospel of Matthew 1:2 But of course in the Dead Sea Scrolls there's mention of Methuselah being considered a youngster next to a certain 'LuizOrteez' who may or may not be the same person. :lol1::lol1::lol1:

He was close friends with my 3rd cousin in school, who's now 14. People claiming that he's an old man DKSAB.

Word is he is well over 40 but I don't know.

ortiz was in the same class as fidel castro! first wilder beats up a mentally disabled person, then a morbidly obese man, and now a senior citizen? this is madness!

One of my friends uncle claims that he went to school with Ortiz and he's not 38...but he may be lying, does anyone know how old he is? That's a question that's fascinated scholars for century your majesty. I found this in the Gospel of Matthew 1:2 'Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. 3Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron and Luis Ortiz, and Hezron the father of Jehoshaphat' But of course in the Dead Sea Scrolls there's mention of Methuselah being considered a youngster next to a certain 'LuizOrteez' who may or may not be the same person.
