Ortiz's chin.

Certainly questionable chinn. Didn't fight a big puncher his entire career untill Wilder and got stopped by him.

Ortiz turned down offers against big punchers such as AJ and Whyte.

Prior to Ruiz fight the biggest puncher Ortiz fought was Charles Martin lol and was dropped twice by him including once from jab.

Overall Ortiz was overrated boxer who most noteworthy wins were against two average HWs in Jennings and Martin and was dropped by anyone he fought with even half decent punching power. Not forgetting the so called "boogeyman" ducked fights against top HWs such as AJ and Whyte.

 

China

 

It’s the punches to the side of his head. He got hit flush on chin and did not go down. Anything that scraps the side of his head and he goes down.

 

Pretty good. Goes down relatively easily but always gets up unwobbly and ready to fight. Compare to someone like Whyte who's always rendered unconscious by a single punch.

 

Always hard to judge someone's chin. Ortiz got hit on the side of the head by Ruiz and got dropped early. Then in the later rounds he got hit very hard on the front of the head and he remained standing. Then he got hit by Charles Martin with a stiff jab and got knocked down. Back in the first Wilder fight, he took some of the right hands and was eventually finished when Wilder hit him with a weird right hook to the side of the head I think.

I remember aged Povetkin who got hit once hard by Joshua and the fight was over. Then in his rematch with Whyte he got hit with a straight right very hard at some point and he remained on his feet even with his post-covid shape.

I think it always depends on the spot you get hit on the head and if you expect the punch. Can't just assume generally someone's chin is good or bad.

Some fighters just have an incredible punch resistance. Shannon Briggs was permanently hit to the head by Wladimir Klitschko in their fight and he made it to the distance. I couldn't believe it when watching.

 

You can’t say it’s better than AJ’s if Ortiz has been dropped more times and out cold twice

 

Very good chin considering his age. Like Lennox said in the Martin fight: ''His head can take it, but his legs can't.''

 

He's a bit past it. His punch resistence is shot. Aside from the 3 KDs he was wobbled a couple of times.

 

I thought it was a close fight and you couldn't argue if Ortiz got the the nod in my opinion. He's 43 years old, some say he's older, at 33 years old he probably could have took a punch better.

 

I don't know about Joshua but it was Dillian Whyte who avoided the fight with Ortiz not the other way around.

 

I think his chin is about average, but his old man legs can't handle the impact.
So he goes down, recovers a bit and fights a bit more.

 

Povetkin's chin looked very shaky in his last two fights. In fact, Povetkin looked a hell of a lot worse than Ortiz in his last two fights and he was 2 years younger.

 

It's obviously not iron, he's been down a number of times. But I'm not sure you can say it's total glass either, he did get up from the Martin and Ruiz knockdowns and even got up from a knockdown from Wilder in the first fight.

I'd say there's a bit of a question mark regarding his chin. He's simply not fought enough good proven punchers to say how good or bad it is.
