    I reckon 46-49 but if he grew up watching Ali, 50-53.

    This is Ortiz in 2005, his billed age is 26 years old here. The man in that video does not look 36, he's obviously not 50. In reality, he can't be older than 42.

    Ortiz's story makes him 4-5 years older than he's billed as. It's hardly the hardest thing in the world to imagine.

    He says he remembers watching the Rumble in the Jungle as a child, at 41 that wouldn't be possible.

    Or I think that's what I read, don't quote me though coz I may have misremembered and just made that up.

    He explicitly said he watched it live.

    Rumble in the jungle was 74. Ortiz said he 'remembers' watching it live that would make him at the very least 3, if not 4 years old in 1974. That means he's born 1970-1971, by his own admission.

    He could be mistaken, he could have been mistranslated, he could just be talking ****. I've heard this example mentioned a few times, I get it'd raise eyebrows but I'd like more to go on than that personally.

    Would be interesting for a reporter to press him on it
