    Like Dominican baseball players that shave off a couple of years to be more desirable to MLB scouts Ortiz most likely took a couple of years off to be more desirable to fight promoters. Telling fight promoters he was 30 instead of 34 or 35 when he started definitely would make sense. I also suspect that Rigo was also older than listed.

    Walcott was also said to be at 5 years older than he was listed, since going into the first Louis fight Walcott insisted he was only 33 years old and even produced a birth certificate that was filed in the late 30’s, but Walcott’s work history and tax filings from the early 1920’s gave his age away.

    A lot of disrespect going on here for Joe Louis' best sparring partner.

    Even if he is 20 years younger than he looks and he's not lying about his age, he's still a 40 y/o man who isn't on his PEDs anymore and who has a billion miles on his clock after having 368 amateur fights and having a head which is and as Serge has scientifically proven beyond doubt always has been a magnet for right hands. And who in his fight prior to facing Bootleg Dorticos struggled against Christina Hammer who lit him up with right hands from first bell to last. And that's a worse version of Hammer than the one Wach brutally KO'd and non puncher Tyson Fury dropped and stopped.

    And in his fight prior to facing Christina Hammer it took him 10 rounds to get Travis ''Tomato Can'' Kauffman out of there, that's the same Kauffman who won a gift over a 14-2-2 nobody in his previous fight and had been dropped heavily and badly hurt by them in round 1 with only the bell coming to his rescue saving him from a KO loss.

    Occam's razor. Besides the math above that doesn’t past the laugh test, why do you think he isn’t. What possible advantage is there to him lying about it? Why am I engaging in this ludicrous discussion? I can answer the last one. Bored af.

    What an idiotic thread, what was the point of writing all of that?

    This is Ortiz in 2005, when he was 26 years old.

    If the man in this vid looks 36 or even close to 30 to you, then idk what to tell you, you're just an idiot.

    Smart guy, why even Fury says Ortiz is not 40 years old?

    You guys do realize that people like Ryan Gosling and Leonardo DiCaprio are anomalies right? In most parts of the world, Luis Ortiz looks like what a 40 year old should look like.

    Nope, he defo looks older.

    I'm 42 and he looks years older than me.

    If he really is only 40, then it's all down to genes innit!

    Who cares what he says, Fury just got beat up by a literal no name ranked outside the top 50, he's gonna say anything to raise his profile for the rematch. How old does that man in that video look to you?
