You look at some of these heavyweights, their physiques don't look impressive, but some of them put in hard work. Ortiz is a case in point. The video is edited for maximum impact, but Luis is nonetheless in good fighting shape. This isn't a bodybuilding contest. It's all about functionality, and Ortiz appears to have it.

If you was a Heavyweight boxer wouldn't you just be praying every night that this guy would just disappear off the face off the earth?

Huge props to Tony for taking this fight he's one crazy old fool

Haha Agreed to all, Dan.

I know Tony's past it, and he's taking this fight on short notice, but I'm excited just to see Ortiz fight again. Can't wait!

Except his age....

The other HW's can avoid him long enough for him to get old. His window is the next couple years. He needs to get a fight with either, Fury, Wilder and Joshua within that time period.

I used to use that pummeling cycle arm machine for should/punching power back in the early 90's...interesting.

I'm the same excited as hell to see this big brute back in the ring but I must say I am a fair bit worried for old Tony here he's still useful but has really slowed and lost his reflexes over the past few years.

I seen him vs Scott and thought he was fighting under water.
