    How can you come into a fight so overweight and fat? Seriously, it's like he rolled off the couch and realized he had a fight soon and came in with no training whatsoever.

    IMO there should be a rule in boxing that if your BMI is too high you cannot fight because you are way too out of shape to perform an athletic event. Basically, a safety guideline for fat fighters who want to steal people's time and money.

    Gets points for fighting somebody everybody is ducking. Its not gonna be easy getting an opponent for Ortiz after the Jennings and Thompson KO's.

    I would like to see Ortiz fight Lucas Browne.

    There was a chasm of difference in their skills.

    You realize people with a ton of muscle mass have really high BMI's too right? People such as Ortiz.

    Ortiz is fat too, he won't do well against a tall guy that is actually mobile like Wlad, Fury, or Joshua.

    44 is very old for a boxer / but not old to be in lean shape in normal life .

    he should retire now.

    He's ****ing old and willing to fight anyone, no matter how good they are, no matter the odds.

    He deserves respect for that.

    Especially in this era of ducking anyone who might beat you.

    "A disgrace to boxing" is a bit harsh, he's never been in 'shape' but still managed to put together a decent record. IMO heavyweight boxing in general is the problem, thompson is just a product of that
