Ortiz footwork is plodding, his work rate is not that high, his stamina is suspect and he's able to be pushed backwards, plenty of flaws there. Add in that he's 37 years old could grow old overnight at any point now, and been caught juicing TWICE.
HBO push Ortiz a lot and he did produce a lovely ko against a Jennings who was kind enough to lay his head in Ortiz chest and drop his arms to his sides but I do not for a second think Ortiz is the boogeyman he's made out to be.
I think stylistically he can take a few of the guys in the top 10 but I don't think he matches up well at all with fury.
wilder, haye and to an extent Joshua are the guys dangerous to fury, not Ortiz, but ironically I'd pick Ortiz over wilder and possibly the other two
Nobody with plodding feet is beating fury
