Ortiz outslicks, out-speeds, and outboxes Tua en and wins a decision. The scores would probably be wide. Considering Ortiz's superior mobility and southpaw advantage, I doubt Tua would ever get close enough to unload his bombs.

Tua. Hes better - who beat tua in his prime?

Lennox
Byrd
Ibeabuchi

Byrd is the closest style wise to ortiz, but was was much much much more elusive than ortiz. Ortiz countered well but could be hit and he has an average chin. He wouldnt hurt prime tua

I'd think Tua would edge this one out. I could see a late stoppage for David or a decision win for either guy really. It'd be a close fight, but I think Tua's edge in toughness and power gets him the win here.

Ortiz is the more technically gifted of the two, but he's not exactly the slickest guy that ever lived or anything.

IMO Tua would stop Ortiz in 8-9.

luis has very nice hand skills but his feet are not mobile. he is plodding if anything. it would be interesting, ortiz could certainly outbox him handily for spells but tua would be getting in range enough to get max force on those left hooks
