You Hate Wilder and dislike Fury. We get it. That's part of being a sports fan. It's no big deal. But while you are entitled to all the absurd supposition you can invent: you are not entitled to your own facts.
Luis Ortiz is no worse than the 8th best heavyweight of the 21st century.
A top ranked international amateur, he was one of the top fighters on the fabled Cuban team from the age of 22; Cuban champion; at 26 PanAm games Gold, World Cup Silver; 343-19 record. He turned pro at 30, skilled and experienced, and plowed to the top of the division winning the WBC FECARBOX, the WBA Fedelatin, WBO and WBC Latino and WBA interim world heavyweight titles, for you title fans; before blowing away ranked Bryant Jennings, who's only loss was a UD to Wladimir Klitschko in Dr Steelhammer's final win.
It is my estimation that combined, both Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko beat precisely Three fighters in their combined 116 bouts who were on the level of the smack dab in the core of his prime, 38 year old, 28-0 Luis Ortiz, whom Deontay Wilder destroyed.
But hey, we've all got options, right?
On Boxing, many of mine are derived from sitting near to ringside.
I think there are at least nine better than Ortiz.Last edited by Ivich; 11-10-2023, 02:52 PM.

Which facts am I not entitled to?
Wilder beat the old man Ortiz( 38+ ) , who was not close to his best. He will face a man when he is older / past his best and sometimes his power has to bail him out. But not a prime raked guy! Unless there is a boat load of money AKA Fury it in. He is a very well managed guy and one who takes full advantage of the dreadful USA heavyweight scene.
Fury rips off the fans, cheats in fights, abuses PED's and like Wilder loves to fight older . unranked men. The totality of which does not win and fans that I know.
Yeah Ortiz in his amateur days was very good. I was not talking amateurs.

I say Ortiz is not even top 20 ranked of heavyweights this century! Do you agree with that?

I know where Ortiz was. The issue is was Jennings the lone ring ranked opponent when Ortiz beat him? I say yes.

Ortiz probably makes the top twenty of this century.

I do not think he does. Top 20 this century based on beating one ranked guy, who was 8th. You have Low standards. If you make a top 20 list for this century I would like to see it.
