If you want him "to fight like he did in the past", then you want him to go back to his previous level of opposition, punctuated by a dive here and there.

I know his opposition wasn't amazing, but I thought his Ortiz wins were actually really good. Ortiz was a guy that would have given a lot of heavyweights hell at that time. People can call him what they want after Wilder flattened him, but up until that point, no big names were calling out Ortiz.Last edited by daggum; 01-04-2024, 06:11 PM.BoxOfficer likes this.

I am wagering we see Wilder in at least one more fight in his hometown against a scrub. They will call it a "get well" fight and bill it as his first steps back to the top, but it may well just be a farewell fight. I just do not think someone like Wilder goes out on a loss and loves fighting in his back yard.

ortiz signed with pbc so he was on the pbc track. they made sure no one got him and saved him for wilder. he even turned down offers from other guys during that period. the boogeyman stuff was just publicity. unfortunately the pbc stunted his possible growth and he ended up with a weak resume before and after wilder so its hard to call him some great win, hes not even on the parker, ruiz, whyte level even though its possible he might have been better than those guys but we will never know

Originally posted by The D3vil View PostThank God even British boxers like Froch & now Chisora see it.
Hearn & AJ succeeded in waiting Wilder out until he was old and complacent and had lost a step.
Because I’ll pull it right up .

Idk that I ever understand mfers with $10m or more in the bank who wanna keep fighting. This is not the business to stay in too long or when you got too much money. And Deontay is probably too old & too rich to be the guy he was at one time.

What we do know was that Ortiz was su****iously older than the books say, and more sadly, he had a heart condition (HB Pressure) when Wilder fought him and still does.
High blood pressure for a combat sportsman is no joke.
