    Who takes it and who do you think would run out of gas first knowing Ortiz health issues ? Keep in mind those saying Tyson cannot defeat Wilder cannot pick him since Ortiz was robbed of the first Wilder win ,so you have disqualified that pick because that’s a double standard if Mike can defeat Ortiz why not Wilder ?

    When Ortiz was 48 (around 15 years ago) he could have defeated 53 year old Tyson.

    Tyson still got the moves, but realistically any top flight heavy cracks his chin at this stage of his life

    We first have to see Tyson in a tune up fight to make decisions, Arreola vs Tyson can be epic!

    If Ortiz is 48, he's the greatest 48 year-old heavyweight in boxing history.

    Put him in the Hall of Fame.

    On the other hand, Mike Tyson, by all accounts, looked like a grown man in eighth grade. Did he really look 20 years old when he won the title?

    If he was Cuban, there would be threads saying Tyson was 30 when he stopped Berbick.

    I think Ortiz is around 39 to 41

    but he would destroy Tyson

    Really? Look at that face. If he walked up to you and wanted to buy beer, would you card him because he looked younger than 21? Or would you assume he's older than 21?

    Would you say the guy below was closer to 20 or 30? Because, if he was Cuban, you'd say he's automatically 30. If not 35. Some people on this board, if he was Cuban, would look at that face and say 38. (LOL)

    (For the record, he's 20 there. Not the face of a 20-year-old.)

    But the thing about Cubans is their sometimes dodgy birth certificates. Mike is from the US, his entire career has been scrutinized and there's no controversy about his birth certificate.

    Ortiz would destroy the Tyson that lost to McBride as would Wilder, he`s completely shot.

    Tyson has been shot for years, is this some kind of joke?
