Wilder is tall and has a long reach, if he can maintain the distance like he did versus Stiverne, he has a chance of taking the fight and testing Ortiz's stamina and age, after all, the Cuban is 36 and by the time this fight rolls around, if it does, he may be 37 or 38. Age beats 'em all and someone like Ortiz, it maybe beat him earlier.
Having said that, Ortiz is a very good fighter, skilled with solid power and I've rated him for quite a while now. I believe his best route to a top fight will be through Chagaev/Browne, leading to a possible fight with Fury once the gypsy king is done with the Wlad rematch. Or possibly the winner of Glazkov/Martin.
The WBC is not the route to go for him.
