18. King Kong
“Luis Ortiz has the kind of build where you know you could hit him with a bat and he would laugh it off,” rolan56789 wrote. A monstrous heavyweight, Cuba’s Ortiz never received the attention he deserved. But he was a perennial title challenger, even though nobody was sure of his age. ‘King Kong’ has knockout power and is also a very slick counterpuncher.

He was intimidating because he had the ability to beat anybody on his day. When Deontay Wilder fought him in 2019 everybody thought he was crazy because it wasn’t necessary. Wilder won by knockout but only after Ortiz taught him a lesson in boxing first. Meanwhile, Ortiz is a very tough individual and came through the ruthless Cuban system. Definitely not a man to mess with.
