I dunno, mates. He looked quite comfy lying on the deck, and Wilder has given him two healthy paydays now. Time to ride off into the sunset for Ortiz now?
Jennings was legit top 5 when Ortiz fought him, he had a win over top 10 Perez & performed very well against Wlad. Ortiz blasted the man out with utter ease.
Everybody disrespects Jennings and in return it ****ed up all the rankings, now people are wondering why guys like Ruiz can KO AJ, well it all makes sense when you rank Jennings properly.
Well i’m not knockings Jennings, but nobody can say he’s been one of the real top heavyweights. Was he really ranked as a legit top 5? I’m not sure.
Plus, it was a good win for Ortiz but it was a long time ago.
My point was if you look at his resume, it’s hard to justify why he’s considered a top heavyweight. Would other fighters be rated so highly with that resume? - Especially if they stepped up twice and got stopped twice too.
Caught up with him?
He’s never been much good. One decent win over Jennings years ago, and Jennings isn’t some world beater.

Ortiz was going to slow down just like the first fight its just in his make up. Wilder has good stamina, carries alot of power even late into the fight, and Wilder isn't worried about being down on the cards.
He was up 4-2 and 5-1 in the cards, there's a reason why no one other than Wilder and AJ in a short notice gave him a chance. I think its time for him to retire, we'd never know how good or bad he was, in my opinion other than Wilder crazy power, only carzy Fury beats him, I'd take him against any other heavyweight, including AJ, today.
Right because winning rounds against Deontay Wilder is such a challenge.

Ortiz’s resume is garbage and has been stopped against the only really good fighter he faced, twice.
The fact he was considered a top heavyweight is ridiculous. He was a myth, Maybe because he was Cuban or something? - attach his resume to your average American heavyweight and everyone would be saying it’s a C level fighter.
But aside from that, he looked terrible in the fights leading up to the Wilder fight anyway.
Very good post although Ortiz is a little better than a C level fighter.
Definitely agree about him having been overrated his entire career. I never saw the appeal when everybody else was jumping on his wagon. He struck me as a lazy fighter with stamina issues. Reasons why he got extra attention was for his potential and the fact that he is cuban.

You have a very unpopular opinion my friend. Wilder says that Ortiz is very good as well as most top fighters. Maybe now that his profile is lifted to star status more fighters would be willing to take the new risk-reward equation and fight him
