    No, not even close. Grandpa Ortiz is old and mediocre. Usyk is clearly a top level HW in his prime.

    If Anything, Usyk is more similar to the small southpaw HW Sultan Ibragimov.

    Ortiz isn't remotely close to being in the same class as Usyk. Not even close.

    Quite impressive really. He writes something ridiculous and then sits back and watches the pages of replies roll in without needed to post a second time.

    I don't know why I bother with spending days on some of my OPs hahaha

    Usyk was an infinitely better and more accomplished amateur than Old Man River Ortiz, and an infinitely better and more accomplished pro than him.

    Ortiz has fought one puncher his entire career and he got KTFO by them twice

    Usyk has fought a ton of punchers and never even been hurt, let alone dropped or KO'd

    Ortiz has lead feat and a head which is a magnet for right hands

    Usyk is a 220lb giant mongoose who is as light on his feet as a ballerina on the moon and he's way harder to hit clean with a big punch and even when he does get caught he's often not actually getting caught at all or takes the sting out of the shot

    Ortiz's best win is Bryant Jennings, his second is either a 45 y/o Tony Thompson or Malik Scott

    Usyk and Ortiz have a common opponent in Epifanio Mendoza

    1-0 Usyk was able to stop Mendoza legitimately in 4 rounds and drop him twice

    14-0 Luis Ortiz couldn't even drop Mendoza, let alone get him out of there in 4 rounds and could only win on a DQ7

    ...and Usyk has the gas tank of a semi trailer while Ortiz has the gas tank of a lawnmower.
