I feel Ortiz would destroy Hunter but a lot of people say he`s shot, who would win this battle of the 40 year olds? I feel both of them would have beaten the 40 year old version of Foreman also.
Foreman was 45 when he defeated Moorer and won a World Title who was fresh off defeating a Prime Evander Holyfield.....any version of Foreman defeats this lot no question.!!
Povetkin and Ortiz are quicker than Foreman was by that stage and Ortiz was in far better shape against Wilder.
Foreman who is said by many to be in the Top 10 Heavyweights of all time some have him Top 5 at 40 Year old against 2 average 40 Year old Heavyweights really ....I dont think so Foreman Cracks there Chins end of story.....I do Concede Ortiz defeats Hunter though.!!!
You are twisting it to suit your agenda....Foreman was always recognised as a Top 10 all time Great. some say top 5....Something Povetkin and Ortiz will never be.....My Point was Foreman at 40 Destroys these 2 easily not the Word of God just an opinion.!!!
He did not destroy Schulz/Morrison/Stewart/Saverese/Holyfield/Grimsley.......and needed the 11th hour hail mary after loosing every round to beat a feeble minded glass chinned Light Heavy.......comeback Foreman cherry picked and got undeserved title shots for his name only...............Povetkin and Ortiz are way better then the above , not ATG but still way better..........Foreman would never fight them, he would stay clear.
I don't think Ortiz will be the same fighter after the brutal KO... he will be even slower, and less effective. big no no against Povetkin, who himself has slowed down tremendously.
I might take Povetkin. He's a shadow of what he was but he showed some grit and power against Hunter, who I thought would drub him through sheer youth and speed. Ortiz looked good against no-skills WIlder until getting dropped like a sack of spuds.
