I'm sure he would - but throughout this thread you have acted, like size would be no problem at all for Sam. It's just silly to pretend, that...
You're right, Ortiz doesn't have a great resume, or great wins. But he's not a complete bum either, with no ability whatsoever. For sure, he's no...
It happens all the time! Look at the Marciano fanboys, who are convinced he would beat much bigger and stronger fighters like Liston and Foreman....
Really? You don't think a lot of posters, interested in boxing history, will have a soft spot for old Sam? I would have thought, that was pretty...
I didn't mean you in particular! Your question was: Why would anyone have a favourite in that matchup? I think it's safe to say, that in a forum...
So Ortiz's enormous size advantage would not be a big factor in this fantasy match-up? Ortiz is 6'4", 240 lbs... how many times did Sam deal with...

Valuev was 14½ inches taller than Marcelo Fabian Dominguez.
No, Maher didn't "mostly" fight over 180 lbs! Of the 26 weights that can be found for him on BoxRec, 3 were over 180 lbs (181, 182, 185) and 2...
I don't call Ali's opponents anything! But many of his opponents were obviously inside today's CW limit. Cooper, Patterson, Mildenberger and...
Couldn't agree more! Boxers from the early part of the gloved era were pioneers of the sport, as we know it today. They paved the way for coming...
So Shavers wasn't a modern fighter, because he fought 40 years ago? Really? What about Duran, Leonard, Hagler, etc.... are they also not "modern"...
For that to be true, you'd have to believe that their era was as strong as Shaver's - and even if that were the case (??), I have a hard time...
Do you think the top tier HWs Maher stopped in the 1890s, would have been top tier HWs in Shavers' era?
And Foster fought and stopped several 200+ lbs fighters - but against top class heavyweights, his punches had little effect.
