If this guy is 50 put him in the HOF now. Two of the most impressive losses I have seen in the boxing ring were Hopkins against Smith and Kovey. If you are under 45 you don't know what I am talking about, if you are over, you are smiling right now.
I used to remember the stories of my grandpa about Ortiz. That was back in 1987. Crazy to think he's still fighting.
In days of old, When men were bold, And fought with 6 ounce mittens, A swarthy fellow, With a chest like a bellows, Strode forth and gave them kittens, He'd face them down, With a grimace and a frown, And pound them into cream cheese, When asked, "Who's is, That monstrous phiz?" They'd say, "Old Luis Ortiz!" Happy Birthday champ!
Agree Certainly top five. And we don’t know how old he really is as people like to run wild with that speculation he may actually be 40 I would like to see him get a shot at fury wilder or Joshua as a comeback fight, once one of those three loses to one of the others
