    Yeah, The combination of age and inactivity is not good for any fighter. Crawford has to be the favorite for me but Ortiz is no joke.

    This is a harsh assessment of a guy who is always willing to fight the best. A lot of people picked Jeff Horn and Tony Harrison to beat him. His opponents may not all be the greatest fighters in their prime but the manner in which he took them out was impressive.
    With the Steve Spark fight it is not Tim's fault Zerafa ducked him, Stevie came in at the last minute to save the show. I am surprised that you left Dennis Hogan off the list a guy who was well and truly robbed against Munguia.

    Just a quick fact on Dwight Ritchie the kid was a quality amatuer he lied about his age and turned pro at 17 won his first 5 fights against grown men and those wins were stricken from his record as it is illegal to turn pro under the age of 18 in the state of Victoria and New South Wales.

    I understand that your assessment is an educated one but I can simply not agree with denying the cut turned the Fundora fight. It was probably the most blood I have ever seen from one fighter in a boxing match. The fight should have been stopped immediately IMO and I would confidently back Tim to stop Fundora in a rematch as I believe that he is the better fighter.

    Also Charlo ducking Tim was a big blow to his career as he was denied an opportunity at a potential signature win.

    As of right this moment Crawford probably stops him. 2 first round blowouts in fights where he needed the rounds to shake off any rust isn't going to beat an Elite caliber fighter like Crawford.

    If Ortiz can somehow put on the performance of his career against Tszyu in August and stop him, then that would send a significant message to the rest of the 154 pounders in the division. Crawford included. Can't pick him against Crawford right now.
