    Given the fact Hair Plug signed up Ortiz only to park him up and match him up with the likes of Dave Allen.

    We all know the answer to this question.

    AJ dropped multiple times and loses a decision.

    Ortiz's prime was way back before film, photos and even writing was invented. So we don't know how good he was.

    But he could always punch so may well chin the bodybuilder.

    Joe Louis unfortunately passed away a long time ago, but he would surely confirm what a sparring partner Ortiz was, Ortiz wins this...

    Old grandpa Ortiz, would have disciplined Joshua for his insolence.

    I'm pretty sure they had a document written in cuneiform about this "ortiz" guy and how he was getting old and should retire from the ring.

    When was "prime" Ortiz? he was already old at the point where he started to get on the radar with some relevant wins.

    Anyway, i'd favour AJ but he'd most likely have some scares. Ortiz was overrated to **** mainly to try and prop up Wilders resume.

    Let's not get carried away. AJ stops him late.

    I would favour Joshua to win inside the distance and in the first half of the fight.
    Povetkin was a similar age to Ortiz and I think faster, more active and I think possibly harder hitting. After losing some of the early rounds Joshua came back and won that fight.

    Joshua in the first half of the fight I think

    Joshua loses to any live dog willing to throw leather.

    He was never that good and a modern day Danny Williams level in his prime.
