Luis Ortiz vs Anthony Joshua

Ortiz kid him

 

If a half ass Ruiz can beat Joshua a prime ortize kills him

 

This would have been a great rebuild fight to prepare for an Usyk rematch, but AJ is just going to ram his head against a concrete wall instead.

 

Would’ve been very interesting around 2016/17, close to 50/50.

 

If it's the (officially) 36.5 year old Ortiz who crushed 6th Ring ranked Jennings, I would favour Ortiz:

Almost a decade and 370 fights amateur experience on the Cuban national team, 23-0 as a pro with 2 NC's (24 won inside the distance, 8 in the first round) 6'4, 240 lbs, never dropped, southpaw. AJ's record against Cuban's (Savon) and southpaws (Nistor, Usyk) isn't good either.

Ortiz would have the advantage in experience, skill, stance, power, durability, being unbeaten, confidence and heart. Even Hearn said recently that "no one wants to fight Ortiz" and this is an officially 42.5 year old Ortiz. Prime Ortiz starches AJ more often than not.

 

Prime Ortiz was still basically gatekeeper level, to this day he has a worse resume than Chisora.

Even in his current state with question marks over mentality, AJ would blast him to pieces.

Mismatch.

 

I can actually hear Rob McCracken from the corner as AJ is being comprehensively outboxed by Usyk in the rematch "brilliant resume AJ brilliant!"

 

Chisora's best win: unranked 38 year old Carlos Takam, his best win: unranked 42.5 year old Tony Thompson, 4 losses (Tony UD, Povetkin KO, Parker UD, AJ TKO) 1 draw (Perez). Chisora lost every round to Takam before his 8th round KO.

Ortiz's best win: 6th ranked 31 year old Bryant Jennings, his best win: 9th ranked 28.5 year old Mike Perez SD, 1 loss (Klitschko UD). Ortiz was ahead in a competitive fight before his 7th round KO.

Ortiz's lesser wins (Hammer, Scott, Thompson) also compare well with Chisora's (Scott, Price, Johnson).

Chisora's losses: Fury 1, Helenius, Vitali, Haye, Fury 2, Pulev, Whyte 1, Kabayel, Whyte 2, Usyk, Parker

Ortiz's losses: Wilder 1, Wilder 2

36.5 year old southpaw Ortiz would have had an excellent chance of beating Helenius, Haye, Pulev, Whyte x2, Kabayel and Parker even with politics against him as Ortiz was a far more skilled and dangerous puncher than Chisora. There is no chance that he would have lost to all of them as Chisora did.

There is no plausible argument for Chisora having a "stronger resume" than Ortiz. Only someone with an absurdly biased agenda against Wilder could suggest otherwise.

AJ hasn't "blasted a heavyweight to pieces" since Eric Molina 5 years ago. Inferior fighters to prime Ortiz (green Whyte, Breazeale, short notice Takam, Parker, faded Povetkin, untrained Ruiz, faded inactive Pulev) have taken AJ into the 2nd half of the fight and a short notice fringe contender blasted AJ all over the canvas and made him say no mas. Logic suggests that a prime Ortiz would cause AJ a lot of problems at the very minimum.
