    He's not really a waste because he was never that good to begin with. Or rather, by the time he finally got a shot at a belt he was too old and slow to really make his skills count towards victory. At this point in time I'd put him as a borderline top ten guy, and that's being generous considering his atrociously thin resume. Him and Pulev are around the same level, bum beaters who are way past their prime coasting on earlier victories and still skilled enough to beat the top twenty, but who fall short once they step up.

    Ortiz hasn't had a good victory in about four years. His best win this year is a closer than expected points victory over Christian Hammer. I might be willing to give him some leeway if his resume was deeper, but there's really nothing much to go on outside of that.

    Joshua, Whyte and Povetkin don't. Parker's isn't bad either.

    Exactly. Grandpa Ortiz is so overrated it's not funny. You have described him and his overrated career to a "T."

    Don't forget we keep hearing from 'experts' on this forum that K2 era was the WEAKEST in HW history yet Ortiz who was part of it failed to grab a belt in the weakest era of all time! :lol:
    What does that make him?
