    He also has an older brother who did well in the pygmachia in the 668 b.c. olympics.

    Yes, one passed away on the Titanic sadly. He had so much potential..

    One of Ortiz's younger brother once KO'd a young Babe Ruth in a Manhattan coffee shop....
    Here's a rare vid of Ortiz & Bros. from 1885

    His twin brother used to spar with Jack Johnson, and knocked him out in sparring.

    Miguel Ortiz then had to retire due a bad knee.

    He was the better twin too.

    I know he's got a sister in the ladies division that boxes, and they call her grandma Ortiz.

    When Max Kellerman kept banging on about Father Time being undefeated I assumed Ortiz had a brother.
