    When is King Kong going to be given a chance?

    I would love to see Fury vs Ortz in March.

    Shadow of his former self. Getting dropped twice by Charles Martin!

    Can’t see much happening for him. Joe Joyce could do worse than choosing him next.

    Even though he has lost his legs and is now around 55 years old. I still doubt that the likes of the can man would touch him.

    He is going to get seriously hurt if he fights at the Fury, AJ or Joyce level

    He's 57 years old, big fights have gone for him now. He brings nothing to the table for anyone.

    Give it a few years and Whyte might fight him.

    I fear for Wilder's CV now when @Mitch87 reads the fight report and it may have a huge knock on effect on Fury's CV ratings as well taking him out the top 50 Heavyweights.

    Mitch does not bother about trivial info. such as titles, age or any other context.

    The guy is ancient and isn't half the boxer he was. Nobody can begrudge him a poor performance or decline.

    Ortiz should be nowhere near a title shot. His best win is Bryant Jennings, he’s about 50 and looked woeful vs Martin.

    Hard to say how good he was as he never fought anyone of note.

    King Kong has gotten enough chances.
    First in the 1930's, then again after about 3 decades later... then about once every decade and then twice in the previous decade.

    I guess King Kong Ortiz' career is quite comparable to the movie franchise in that regard.

    Was an entertaining fight, good win for Ortiz although being dropped by Martin twice shows that Ortiz isn't what he once was.

    Out if interest who do you lot think would win?

    Chisora Vs Ortiz

    Ortiz was never as good as people made out hence getting dropped twice by Martin and his most only noteworthy win was years ago against Jennings.

    Ortiz also turned down fights against the likes of AJ and Hrgovic.

    Sanchez is what Ortiz was hyped up and made out to be.

    Sanchez has looked good in the few fights I have watched him.

    Sanchez hasn't beaten anyone either.
