Battle of the southpaw heavyweights

Moorer-points.

Moorer could outbox Ortiz, but with Michael's chin and Ortiz' power there would be no surprise, if Moorer got iced. He could come back though, what he proved in some fights. I'd favor Moorer by dec.

Ortiz TKO 11

Moorer easily, probably by wide decision. Ortiz would only have puncher's chance. Moore could slug and he could box. His chin was his achilles heel, but he probably would have survived Ortiz.

Double MM by decision after out-boxing Ortiz without engaging him too much.

moorer gets dropped but wins a shaky decision

This could either turn into Moorer-Cooper 2 or be a very boring distance fight. Either way, I favor Moorer.

quick and agile don't really come to mind when I watch ortiz, he could defo put mike in some trouble though

Ortiz is technically no worse than Moorer and he hits hard. He can deliver it, but his killer instinct is questionable as well as his stamina. Moorer had a worse chin than Wilder has, but he was about the same gutsy.

Would probably favor Ortiz but not with great confidence. It's too bad he did not fight more top level opponents

Ortiz late stoppage.
