Is Luis Ortiz the best / most skilled southpaw professional heavyweight boxer ever?

[RightJabLikeZab]

Easily, Ortiz is a legit super heavy.

I see people bringing up Moorer and Byrd but these fighters would have no chance in this current era of super heavies. Special in their era, just gate keepers at best in this era.

Put it this way, Ortiz has a whopping 10 inch reach advantage on Byrd, 3 inches in height, and 30lbs in pure muscle with an 80% KO ratio.

lol @ Byrd or Moorer being special in their era.

Moorer had a win over Holyfield and was boxing Foreman's head off prior to getting caught. He was a top 3 guy at HW at one point.

Byrd was another guy that was also top 3 at one point, wins over Holyfield and Tua. Ibeabuchi beat him but was absent from the division after going insane. He understandably lost to a super heavy in Vitali.

This era is loaded with super heavies.

Based on?

If he beats Wilder and defends his title then we can have this discussion. But when you have ex world champion southpaws, like moorer, byrd, Sanders, ibragimov and chagaev I thinks it's a bit premature.

Tyson Fury is the most skilled southpaw heavyweight of all time

Not sure if he has proven that yet. After the Wilder fight, and winner of Joshua Parker, we can start asking those type of questions, if he wins.

I think Corrie Sanders was he demolished Wlad
