Absolutely.

Well he did what he was supposed to do last night with a 6th round KO of Tony Thompson, wasn't Ortiz's greatest showing, looked a bit laboured in there, but got the job done.
Ortiz does have all the tools, but I could see him just running out of time due to his age.

I think he'll be avoided like the plauqge by most top Heavies.

If the WBA tournament actually plays out, he'll have Ustinov next then the winner of Fury-Wlad 2 should it happen. I'm not holding my breath for things to unfold like that, but I would like to see it.

I agree with Ian--he has plenty of tools but can labour a bit at times. He gave a couple rounds away to Jennings doing that and it could be a problem against the division's elite.

Same age as Haye, Povetkin, Browne, Pulev isnt he. Golden Boy have a bit of clout, hopefully get him in the mix with decent fighters.

My worry is his engine, looked to gas a bit v bryant in 5th or 6th to me
