Why is Luis Ortiz still ranked top-10 HW by Ring Magazine?

PBR Streetgang the booty scratching twerker.

You're a real strange dude. Very suspect.

You’re a twerker and a wrestler.

Flaming phaggit.

Ortiz is a bum .

[Marchegiano]

Because it’s like 2021 ?

Okay, let me re-tool, Ortiz has been a top ten HW for a long time for no good reason. He didn't beat guys who are now not top tens but were once, he beat some regional nobodies and has been rated ever since. Whatever legitimacy anyone is looking for is best sourced from the source, I E what reason was Ortiz ranked in the first place.

There is no good reason near a top 5 if your best win was 6 years ago . What is the reason he’s ranked where he is ? No one sane will defend that .

Fres Oquendo hasn’t lost a fight in 7 years he also hasn’t fought since 2014 where do you rank him ? By Silly Billy standards that guys a top guy with taking no losses .

What best wins?

What best wins?

Well he defeated Jennings and Scott . Neither of those are promoting reasons to be ranked high ,he’s also fought the worst heavyweight who is Dan Martz to showcase to Wilder ,is this coincidence ? Not really .

[Toffee]

Reason 1. Because if you start demoting fighters based on inactivity then you would have some big calls to make regarding the top end of the list.

Reason 2. No-one has done anything to move above him.

Basically he's there by default. No-one is justifying taking his place and they're scared to demote him because they'd need to do the same to others, including their recently announced heavyweight fighter of the year.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Wallin just beat Breazeale . There’s guys who are active fighting former title contenders at least . Ortiz last fight with someone not holding a title ranked is when , I don’t even know ? Chisora even in losses is fighting ranked guys .

Chisora? Makes sense. he is top 10 by boxrec still, fighting a good competition.

[Johnny Rubber]

He's in there to keep Wilder's resume looking good for as long as possible.
