    Slick Cuban skills

    Iron chin

    Brutal KO power

    Masterful shot selection

    Big and strong

    It's a damn shame what happened to Ortiz, wilder was just his kryptonite

    Norton never won a heavyweight title so him by far.
    Povetkin had the WBA Regular. Does that count?

    Povetkin was the first name on my mind.

    not sure. if you cound all 'four' straps & short tenures, most really first rate fighters at least briefly won a title.

    I agree with the suggestion of Golota above, he's probably the best I've seen [at least in the Bowe fights before he lost it]. Langford I only know by name.

    Ike Ibeabuchi was decent.

    Shavers?

    shavers was so close to knocking out Holmes so I would say he counts for sure

    Definitely Norton. A prime Norton would have beat ortiz all day.

    I'm probably taking the bait here but who the hell did Ortiz ever fight that proved he had an iron chin?

    you win. End thread. Ortiz has to be the most overated heavy of the past 10-20 years.
