    Will Luis Ortiz ever get another shot at a top contender or championship again ? I have a feeling chisora is going to fight Ortiz next

    You think Chisora beats Takam then fights Ortiz? DC or CT fun clash of styles both have that come forward pressure fighter, haven't seen Ortiz fight that style yet.

    Agree though time is slim for Ortiz before he starts to diminish. Hope we get to see him mix it up.

    Ortiz-Miller is another possibility

    Chisora is fighting Takam next and I'll be surprised if Chisora beats him, I hope he does but it's unlikely.

    Even if Chisora does win and Ortiz wants to fight him, I'm not sure Chisora would take it, he would need to be paid well to take a loss and Ortiz isn't a draw, so doubt he can generate enough money pay Chisora what he wants.

    Ortiz options are limited he's only ranked by the WBC after failing his last doping test, so in terms of a title shot a rematch with Wilder is his only option which I'd be surprised they would risk again before unification with Joshua. Maybe Haymon will set him up with one of his other heavies, but that's a good as it's going to get for Ortiz at this stage.

    Ortiz is done for he just hasnt realised it yet. He is in his mid to late 40,s and nearly didnt make his last fight against that American chump Wilder cuz of his medical conditions.

    Povetkin would fight him after he disposes of Femi. Sasha is no coward.

    I would love to see Big Baby & Ortiz Mix it up, doubt Miller takes it though, he want that AJ Payday.

    Big Baby already dodged Pulev for a mandatory - Ortiz is even more dangerous and potentially no more money. Can't see him going for Ortiz

    If he wasn't almost done, Wilder would not have fought him.

    He is on heart medicine, was barely medically cleared to fight Wilder, busted for PEDS at one point, and realistically, is probably 50 years old.

    He will push on for a couple more fights, but yeah, he will either find something else to do or die in the ring.

    Yes he's done.

    He's at that age where at any point now he could come out for a fight and look REALLY ****.

    He didnt impress me much vs Wilder, he did little more than Szpilka did and he's bang average.

    I felt bad for Ortiz post Wilder fight, as he did much better than most anticipated...
    However, I didn't think he would beat the top of the division then, nor do I now.

    AJ, Wilder, Parker, Wlad (if he is to come out of retirement in the future), Fury, Whyte, Takam and maybe even Miller beat him.

    Ortiz just isn't that good...durable sure, but he is very limited.

    It was dumb of Old Man River Ortiz to hide his real age. He should've just been honest about how old he was from the get-go and gone down the trying to break the record of the oldest fighter to ever win title route instead, which had he actually beaten that gangling buffoon from Tuscaloosa he would've done by quite some distance. In fact, I don't think anyone would ever have come remotely close to breaking it had he done so.
