    Ortiz's a big southpaw who can punch so he lasts a few rounds before George stops him, probably in 4 or 5.

    I think Big Goerge stops him in the middle rounds. Ortiz would have some moments though

    Ortiz is bigger. A better boxer. Stronger. Quicker. More well rounded. Had fast punch output and could close the ring like a true pro. He imposed his will on opponents with his power and ring IQ. And he has a far better jab. Just overall a better specimen of athlete.

    Ortiz KO two seconds into the first.

    Did they have aqua bags in Foreman’s day? Exactly
    Did they have punching mitts in Foreman’s day? Exactly
    Did they have the Chipotle in Foreman’s day? Exactly

    Look, I like the Foreman story as much as any other movie goer but the sport changed. Just look at Football y’all, just look at it.

    Who has Ortiz actually beaten? I may be strange,but I find this question rather important when matching up fighters.

    No, that would be Jack O' Halloran, who also fought Ron Lyle. This is the only footage I've ever found of him (link includes automatic timestamp):

    I wouldn't expect that outcome, but if Ortiz fared about as well as Cooney I wouldn't be at all surprised either.
