    Mike would pass a legit medical before Ortiz would.

    The WBA and their regular champ BS is a joke they have no credibility.

    Charr been holding that trinket hostage for years and it’s been 6 years since 47 year old Fres Oquendo last fought (loss) yet he’s still ranked in their top 15.

    This. Ortiz looked every bit his age in his last fight with Wilder.

    Coma on now it’s getting pretty ridiculous..... Tyson hasn’t fought professionally in 15 years and to be honest hasn’t been the best version of himself since probably Spinks. The last he looked good was before prison minus the Douglas debacle. He became a head hunter, and his movement and combinations were getting further and further away as his career went on. So to call out a 53 year old former champ who wants to fight “exhibitions” Is an obvious cash grab and an easy win. Anyone who thinks Tyson would be able to compete today at his age against an active top heavyweight is sorely mistaken. Look I was and still am a huge Tyson fan but his mystique,aura, and the skill that he had are long gone and will not be back. Let him fight some exhibitions or go knock out some china chinned mma guys and leave it at that.

    Yep.

    I'm a fan of Iron Mike, and he was a head to head monster in his prime.

    The most important word in my last sentence: was

    At this point, Mike would lose to everybody in the top 20 by KO or TKO.

    Well there age is closer then any other match up! But come on loved Mike was a wrecking ball in his day but this isn't his day, loads of respect for him but man needs to leave it in the past.

    Reflexes go speed stamina power

    Prime MT was a animal tho not been a fighter of the same ruthless style since.. but that's only because his roar power made up for his flaws but that has gone.

    I’ll get a kick out of how everyone don’t know what to make of how old Ortiz really is


    I think he’s actually about 40

    Mike's legs will be an issue. They're not as strong, mobile or as flexible as before. People fail to realise that he relied on quickness of foot to get the leverage, angles and positions he did to get the power on his shots.

    Once his legs went (around 1999) you saw how flat footed he became and just relied on one punch power to blast guys out of these. His angles of attack simply disappeared.

    Unless he has had access to a time machine, or the best stem cell therapy, TRT, HGH, EPO and the best PEDS around, I doubt he'll be competitive unless its against a complete tomato can.
