Truth is, Alexander Povetkin, Luis Ortiz, Mike Perez and even Deontay Wilder could fight at cruiser weight if they really wanted to with some effort.
But if you want to believe that Luis Ortiz is some king kong that is too big for blown up cruiser weights like Alexander Povetkin, then so be it. Then yes, it is a mismatch in size and yes, they shouldn't be allowed to fight each other.
However, I'm still struggling to see how Luis Ortiz would 'clown' Alexander Povetkin as you claimed. How exactly is Luis Ortiz that much better than Povetkin in terms of actual boxing skills? At best for Luis Ortiz, I see this as a 50/50 fight but make Povetkin the slight favorite because he is more active and throws more punches in high volume. But to act like Luis Ortiz is so much better than Povetkin that he would 'clown' him. Well, what exactly is that based on? That's what I want to know.
