    Alegadly Ortiz sparred Joe Lewis so according to my calculations he is around 110 years old

    Modern sources give Walcott's date of birth as January 31, 1914. However, a census for New Jersey in 1915 lists his month and year of birth as May 1913.

    I dont know his actual age but I must admit Ortiz does not look 40 years old. If just saw Ortiz and had to guess his age id say about 50. Dude looks old.

    I think people are going overboard with his age. I've just been watching some old fights.

    Corrie Sanders at 38 against Vitali looks old and has flabby 'loose skin'.
    Evander Holyfield at 37 against Lewis II looks damn old but has an excellent physique.
    Wlad at 41 vs Joshua looks old and despite having a great physique has loose skin.

    Ortiz doesn't look any older than any of these 3.

    Two things lead me to belive Ortiz is around 70

    #1 when Deontay ko'd him the other night at first it apoeared that sweat went flying off Ortiz, but upon closer inspection it was found to be dust.

    #2 dave allen said that when he fought ortiz he smelled like an old peoples home

    Has anyone tried carbon dating Ortiz's skin ? We'll probably find some scary results. That man is an ancient fossil

    I don't know his actual age but I have it on good authority he was a sparring partner for Jack Dempsey.

    Yoel Romero said on a Joe Rogan podcast that Ortiz was lying about his age. Romero knew him from training at the same center and Romero said Ortiz was couple years older than him.
