    Ortiz has all those amateur bouts that count for experiencing different styles.
    He needs a veteran guy or just go after the other "new" guys on the block. This guy is 33 yrs old going on 40!!!
    If he doesn't have money backers behind him he's dead in the water.
    You have to spend money to make money in ANY business.
    Throw Briggs in there and make it a 10 round semi under a good main go.

    Theres still only 5 guys worth a damn in the division, the rest are horrible.

    Briggs? He's 44. I know he got back in the game, but I haven't seen him fight lately. I can't see him being any more trying than Jennings. You said so yourself, there are only five guys worth a damn. Shannon ain't one of 'em. Why bother with him? Supposedly, Ortiz's people have been offering fights left and right. No one is biting. And, by the way, Luis is 36, not 33.

He is to heavy on top and needs to loose 12 pounds off his mid section and back to be be able to have quicker hands and he needs a lot more cardio work. He sweats previously and has his chin out in front of his body when he punches. He's fought absolute nobodies and looks out of shape to me.
      If he were to lose that loose midriff he would still maintain a 230lb. body and the addition of speed would add to his power.
      Personally I don't see the hoopla on this guy, yes he has a great amateur record but 3 rounds are long gone. He needed more than 5 to get rid of Tony who was looking for a spot to lay down from round one!

      Maybe the fact that guys who move away from him are the trouble opponents but I sure wish he had a live body to fight, is Haye available? How about the guy who just fought Joshua? Whyte? Give him more than old Tony!

      I lol'd at this.

      Great post tho, Ray. Well said. I agree with most points you make, though I still think all things considered Ortiz is #2 in the division. I don't see anyone outside of Fury beating him, maybe Povetkin or Wilder, but Wilder is far worse fundamentally, it would be a good fight. Ortiz is crafty, and has a high ring IQ, he does need to cut some weight and not leave his chin out.

          I want to see him fight Crawford.

            • Vargas is finding himself as a fight and trusting his power, I think he realizing he does have serious pop in that overhand right and I think we gonna start firing that off alot more now.

              Ortiz is a monster too bad he is too old imo, Make Luis Ortiz vs Jarrell Miller I think that will be a great fight.

                How can you criticize Jennings as not being a live body and then bring up Shannon Briggs? That is ridiculous. Jennings would beat the **** out fo Briggs. He is a good fighter. He has done much more than give old Wlad a tough fight.

                  WTF has Briggs done lately other than shoot hit mouth off like a roiled up fool? Ludicrous that his name is even brought up nowadays. Jennings would knock his block off, as would many of the fighters he beat.

                    • Ortiz is not concerned about getting a suitable opponent. He knows under boxing’s system, there will be mandatories if he keeps winning.
