    Both Ortiz and his wife look at least 45

    If they go to war, Povetkin wins. Think he gets under-rated nowadays. But his upper body movement, power and boxing brain should be enough to deal with Ortiz as I think Povetkin has more fight in him. Good matchup though which I would like to see.

    Well Wilder and his team didn't run like little girls the first chance they got when they had to fight Povetkin...

    I think that answers your question in who would win in a fight...

    I got Ortiz knocking Povetkins block off. I would love to see it but I can’t see Povetkin taking a fight that risky without wanting a big check.

    Put me down in the category with those who'd love to see this. I have no idea what would happen, but I'd sure like to find out.

    Serge freely admits that he might have, ever so slightly that is, been a bit economical with the truth there lol

    Yeah Ortiz actually got schooled by a poor mans Povetkin with a similar name in the amateurs.

    Ortiz is grossly overrated and has beaten absolutely no one. This fight is a mismatch on paper and I tend to agree. Ortiz feet are stuck in quicksand, he's got zero movement. What he does do well is throw combinations fluidly, but doing that against C level opposition is a whole lot different to doing it against an elite world class fighter.

    My pick is Povetkin KO inside 8, probably sooner as I think Ortiz has a pretty weak chin and will put it on him from round 1.
