    How would Ortiz do against these hw lads if he was 20 years younger

    We know he’s the oldest “top” hw currently active and beating him at this point only ends up with lads saying you beat an old man so he doesn’t really enhance legacies like beating AJ, wilder, Fury would.

    With that said how do you think he would do against the current hw elite if he’s 15-20 years younger when he was closer to his physical prime?

    Not much better IMO.
    His skills have carried him more than his power.
    He is just a very crafty boxer.
    He fights too tall when he should using the Frazier method of making himself shorter.
    Could you imagine if Ortiz had Frazier's stamina?
    Now that would be something crazy

      Something very interesting in the build-up on Saturday; Adam Smith from Sky Sports said, "Luis Ortiz bids to become the oldest ever Heavyweight champion of the Worl..." and then quickly corrected himself. I think behind the scenes people know Ortiz's real age. And I think we're right in assuming he's closer to 50 than 40.

        We all know the lad is pushing 50 it’s not a secret anymore

        A 30 year ago Ortiz against this version of wilder probably wins though

          He'd KO Joshua and Ruiz but would get KO'd by Wilder.

            I think he would beat them all. He was well ahead of Wilder when he was knocked out. A much younger version might have KOed Wilder or at least avoided getting KOed by Wilder. If Wilder hit him with that same punch he would be KOed no matter what his age. By the way he really is 41 years old not 50 or 55 as some say. this has been well documented and he has no reason what so eve to lie about his age. So if he was 20 years younger he would be 21 years old.

              Solid, but his chin seems a bit suspect

                  If he'd turned pro as a young buck he woulda been a threat to Klitschko.

                    Fury was born in a first world country where birth records are difficult to make up. The Cuban lad could say he is 10 on his birth certificate and someone in Cuba would stamp it.
