    I didn't joke when I wrote that Ortiz, said that he has fought against Pernell Whitaker! I saw the interview where he said he beat Pernell via SD. The interviewer was shocked and started calculating his age loud but then Ortiz interrupted and said it was 42 or some like that, I don't remember the number very well!

    P.S. The whole interview was held beside some big building with some greenery in the front where Ortiz and interviewer were standing and it was pretty hot, Ortiz had a t-shirt on. The interviewer was American and an interview was held in Miami, most likely.
    I even read the comments on the video where most people commented that Ortiz old. So no one can tell me that, I didn't saw the interview, get out of here, I saw it with my own eyes!

    Fujimoto is WAY worse than Takam, Ruiz jr and Fury.

    He's even worse than Solomon Haumono (whom Parker KO'd easily). Haumono KO'd him in Japan.

    If this fight happens, Parker will look like second coming of Mike Tyson, Fujimoto is awful

    He's not a HW.... Really, he'd be small as a CW. Dude is probably a natural LHW. Calling him awful in an exaggeration. He's a decent regional level fighter, and was a great kickboxer. His fight with Willy Nasao is incredible and before Klitschko/Joshua was a sleeper candidate for the divisions best fight of the year. But yes.. He is quite a few steps below the names you mentioned and shouldn't be anywhere near a world title fight.

    Ortiz may just been having a laugh. Even if he's a couple of years older than his listed age, he wouldn't have been old enough to box Whittaker in 84.. and others have already shown, that was a Puerto Rican boxer of the same name. Notice how the partial record that you posted coincides with Ortiz's REAL(or near it) age? There's like 10-15 year drop off in fights, which is easily explained by this Ortiz's actual birth of mid-late 1970s.

    I was wrong about 1984. But in the interview he didn't mention the year.

    "Do you think there was a lot of noise around the fight between MacGregor and Mayweather? Imagine what will happen when we with my "Gypsy brother" Tyson come face to face. Better than this pre-match circus will be only the war, which we will arrange in the ring we are two former world champions who are still armed and dangerous. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm absolutely serious. Briggs-Fury or Fury-Briggs - in any case, psychiatrists will be more necessary here than judges, "said Briggs.

    P.S. Maybe they can fight in China?!

    Upon hearing Fury’s intentions, Browne has since given his retort by saying: “I’m under the impression the (Parker v Fury) rematch isn’t coming off,” said Browne.

    “(Right now) I’m going to be booked in for a decent fight in November, so any time after that my friend.

    “You won’t be able to run for twelve rounds and me not catch you, that’s for sure. You can be a cat all you want in the ring and not want to get hit, but I guarantee I’ll cut you off, land one and it will be over.

    “I’m looking forward to getting over to the UK to start bashing the UK fighters. By all means, get on to (my promoter, Ricky) Hatton and let’s do this. I’m very excited about this one, good fun.

    Asked by World Boxing News for his opinion on the decision in the Parker v Fury fight, which has courted some controversy, Browne added: “Parker won for sure. Fury looked like sh** and ran like a cat!”

    Nah, Schwarz injured his back in training and had a surgery because of it. That's why he pulled out.
