    Even though Ortiz is old, I think he can KO Joshua... He needs to stay away from him as long as he can....

    Ortiz looked worse in his last 2 fights vs Scott and Allen, he lost his sharpness and is losing speed.

    He's getting old.

    It would be a good fight. Ortiz is getting up there in age though.

    Ortiz looked more dangerous a couple years ago. He still has that straight left and sudden power, but he's definitely on the slide now. Probably tough for him to get motivated for his last couple opponents, but in any event, he's pretty damn old. Punchers chance, for sure, but I wouldn't favor him.

    I think Joshua's toughest opponent is going to be a mover. A boxer that can jab and move. Fury against Klistchko would give Joshua some problems. I think Ortiz would get stopped against Joshua. Keeps his hands too low.

    I used to think Ortiz would beat Joshua too, but I favour Joshua now. Scott confirmed what I thought, any kind of movement befuddles Ortiz, he likes to be set to throw and he's also a very one paced fighter. I can see Joshua keeping on the end of his jab and winning rounds as Ortiz doesn't do enough to win.

    Ortiz although getting old will test Joshua's Chin....Stylistically Ortiz is terrible but if he connects with one it would be all over.!!!

    The guy doesnt speak English and has moobs. He is not marketable.

    Eddie Hearn promotes him so he can contain him and keep him away from Joshua.

    Jennings was landing flush uppercuts on Ortiz at will. Now imagine Joshua doing that.
