To you maybe.
Ortiz has always been only a contender, which means, he is not better than Joshua. Of course not.
I just can't agree.
The only reason AJ ever touched a belt is because Fury walked away from them.
You can find posts of me timestamped during his hiatus, reminding everyone here that AJ is only babysitting those belts, he is no rightful champion.
He can't get the respect like he won them legitimately.
Ortiz is a better win than AJ to me then, and now.
Don't confuse a belt holder /paper champ with being an actual threat.
Popular opinion is arguably more wrong than right in boxing, YDKSAB is a thing for a reason, most people don't have a clue. The majority opinion doesn't mean much to me.

joshua was under 30 when wilder ducked him to fight ortiz's corpse in a rematch and wilder admitted to cherry picking a fat coked up fury. he tried to take the easier road(according to popular opinion which yes could be wrong) but that was his mindset

So you are trying so say there was nobody Wilder could of fought that was in his 20's.. yet he was protected and matched carefully? don't those two things contradict each other?
The fact is Wilder only fought Ortiz because he was old as ****, and on blood pressure medication. Wilder was matched agaisnt guys who posed little to no threat and were over the hill & many of them still caused him massive problems. I hardly see how my point is moot. i think its a valid point that Wilder never faught a single guy in his prime, the one time he did he got battered, embarrassed and made to look like a complete and utter amateur.
Its not so much About Wallin its about the mirage of Wilder to me. I know you wanna big him up because hes Furys signature win but for me....put him in with anyone with a pulse & decent skills and he likely loses.
They don't contradict each other to me, because I'm the not one who thinks a fighter is harder to beat, or "better", because they are in their 20s.
Nobody under 30 was seen as better than Ortiz at the time. Certainly not by me, whom is making the statement.
Doesn't really matter what Wilder says about it. Ortiz is still imo a top 5 fighter in the division, top 10 without question. Don't care how old he is. His skillset is what I put most weight on.
It's no secret Wilder was protected and matched well coming up, but resume is only one variable.
There was no real threat under 30 that was a bigger risk than Ortiz, and there is definitely no fighter under 30 that is a bigger risk than Fury, so your point is moot. Age is a poor barometer in modern times, but keep over blowing the significance of it.

And you're barometer is Wilder KO'ing a bunch of a past prime OAPs and binmen?
Wallin is no great shakes but hes a young fresh talented southpaw with a good chin, Wilder has never beaten any young talented boxers....ever, so on that point i would give Wallin a fair shot of winning.

I don't gauge fighters by if they are in their 20s vs their 30s. That's your barometer.
Wilder puts a fwuppin on Wallin.

Wallin becomes the walking dead!
I see Wilder cracking him with a nasty right hand straight out of the depths of hell an make him sleep walk to a turnbuckle!
Only Fury has survived it and his style is all wrong for Wilder and he’s the only heavyweight with that size and style in the history of boxing!
Name one boxer that Wilder has stopped that was a decent boxer (not a journeyman) who was not in his mid to late 30's+ ?
Stirverne 1. 37 years old. stirverne 2. 39
Molina 34
Chris Nips 35
Washington 35
Duhapaus 34
Ortiz 1. 39 Ortiz 2. 40. (probobly alot older)
Breazale 33
Liakhovich 37
Audley 41
most of those guys are C level but not only that they are C level and have been KO'd a bunch of times & are at the end of their careers when they are matched with Wilder.
Wallin is a decent young HW, im not saying he would beat Wilder but basing your arguments off 'well Wilder KO'd a bunch of guys who were at the end of their careers, and not very good to begin with' is not really a good case to say he would easily stop Wallin. If Spilzka can win 7/8 rounds against Wilder, then why couldnt Wallin?
Wilder has never stopped any decent boxers in their 20's :eek:

I agree here. Wilder puts Wallin on skates.

Wilder by murder.
Wallin surviving 12 rounds against one-eyed cut Fury doesn`t mean he can survive Wilder`s right hand.
I agree here. Wilder puts Wallin on skates.
Wallin ate bombs from Granat who punches extremely hard, not comparable to Wilder but its safe to say Wallin has a very good chin. If he doesnt get merked early i see him outboxing wilder to a UD.
Who wins between these two elite warriors, soldiers, gladiators....two hungry lions, real killers....going toe to toe in that squared circle?
- -Wallin bust up Deyonce bad eye.
Wallin is a durable guy, good chin and he can box/fight well. Just because wilder has a KO right hand doesn't mean he can go up and hurt him. Wilder doesn't like fighting backwards. If wallin pressures him all the way, Wallin could shock us and beat him. Styles make fights. We can't keep seeing a boxer's KO and win record and say for sure that boxer will win. We should look past the well known names and see how the styles match up. Triangle theories don't work here. Dilian whyte is also a tough fight for wilder due to whyte's style.
