How would Luis Ortiz do against other good heavyweights?

[Spicoli]

Ortiz would get beat by any good heavyweight.

Typical Cuban heavyweight.... that is all... Jorge Luis Gonzalez looked good too. Until he ran into the guy he beat in the Amateurs- Riddick Bowe. And we see how that turned out. By far my BEST ass-kicking EVER.

Riddick kicked that man's ass all around the ring. What was so good about it was Gonzalez was game, had a decent chin, but just was not at Bowe's level the way he said he was or would be. He just got his ass kicked and summarily dispatched.

I don't know the name of anyone who followed Gonzalez coming up and mistook him for 'good'. No way, no how. He was the quintessential hype job riding amateur fame onto PPV cards way too prematurely. Honestly the only solid thing he has in common with Ortiz is being from Cuba Ortiz actually has a defense with high shoulders, the hand speed and combinations are far different levels and Gonzalez sat around as stiff as a board coasting, posing and looking for counters other than that jab. You literally could not miss Gonzalez and everyone from a 40 yr old Snipes to Scott bounced punches off his pumpkin head before Bowe tuned him up.

Ortiz is 35, and will indeed step up comp now being mandatory and I think he can turn a few of the heavily hyped guys on their head.
