Can any man in history handle a PRIME Luis Ortiz

[Earl-Hickey]

Picture him now, Luis Ortiz aged 28

Up on his toes, Fleet of foot, the movement, the speed, the ring IQ, firing off thunderous combinations from the southpaw stance, granite chin, defensive slickness, slick cuban-ness

Who could handle that man?

[YoungManRumble]

So like what 20+ years ago when he was a Cuban amateur?

A prime Ortiz is a scary thought indeed, and tbh the only man I think would have a chance of beating him is DEONTAY cuz of dat POWER.

Imo Deontay is the only man who can beat ANY Ortiz. Ortiz would be undisputed in any era which did not have wilder

May be a Prime Ali can win one or two rounds?

When was his prime?

Okay Earl, I have a scenario for you... let's assume that Luis Ortiz is around the same age as Mike Tyson, let's say 1 year younger for argument's sake. Now picture this...

February 1990, Tokyo, Japan. "Iron" Mike Tyson, 23 years old, 37-0 (33 KO), Lineal, IBF, WBA and WBC Heavyweight champion of the World. Versus... Luis "King Kong" Ortiz, 22 years old, no Pro experience, but a stellar Amateur career that has since been expunged from the record books. Two young men at the absolute pinnacle of their games, just hitting absolute peak physical condition, Ortiz's blood pressure not going to be an issue for another 20-30 years.

What a spectacle that would have been Earl...

Perhaps prime Joe Louis could win one round against Ortiz?

[YoungManRumble]

I'm enjoying the direction this thread has gone

Also, Ortiz would clearly beat prime Rocky Marciano and then prime Lennox Lewis on the same day.
