    Exactly. Who has Ortiz beat in his career? Old Tony Thompson and Bryant Jennings? Based off that people act like he was some kind of boogie man. Ortiz has always been slow and one dimensional.

    I wouldn't even say his chin has got worse. Who Ortiz being hit by before Wilder fought him? It wasn't like he was getting hit by other so called top punchers.

    Your point? You mentioned 3 men out of 100's of heavyweight in history that could take that punch and be unphased. To my point. I don't know to many guys that could take that punch. Fury got dropped! I guess he can't take a punch either.

    You want me to name more? Vitali Klitschko, Marion Wilson,
    Hell Shannon Briggs got hit with 100 right hands from Vitali and didn't go down. Ike Ibeabuchi, and pretty much any other heavy with a decent chin. Lol Johann Duhaupus took tons of other right hands kid and didn't go down. How many times did Johann take Alexander Povetkin punches? Let me tell you that he didn't. He got put to sleep.

    Tyson Fury got dropped by light punch cruiser weight Steve Cunnigham you clod. Fury can't take a punch. Which is why he runs.

    I wonder if that perfectly balanced heatseeking missile WIlder threw affected his punch resistance.

    When everyone (except Ortiz fans) predicts you to lose by knock out and then you go in and lose by knock out, that right there, says a lot.

    Ortiz has very few years or even months at gatekeeper level. Dubois or Hrgovic should be next for the old man. He shouldn't retire yet.

    I think he still has a lot to offer the division. Doubt anyone will wanna risk facing him though.
