Comments Thread For: Wilder Promoter on Luis Ortiz: Fighters With PED History Ruled Out

[Donnie Herrera]

And yet when Wach fought Wlad you touted him as a serious threat and legit too 10 contender. Lol at the hypocrisy!!

The guy flip flops more than vlade divac!

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Butterbean is available!! No different than the slow, light-hitting, obscure European cans Wilder been fighting during his historic, legendary two year HW title reign!!

Lol just an excuse for avoiding the fight. Ortiz has done VADA testing after he popped and has been clean.

The first three contenders have been caught for PEDs in the past. Povetkin, stiverne, ORtiz.

[bigjavi973]

theyve had so much bad luck wouldnt surprise anyone if ortiz got popped again.

LMAO, I should have seen that coming

[Squ□redCircle34]

No way, Grandpa Kong is a legit threat and Wilder isnt sure if hes5 %100 after going thru 2 major surgeries!

Hopefully working on that left jab and left hook makes him less reliable on his right and forcing major blows with his right!

Ortiz should fight Stiverne to become WBC mandatory so after Wilder fights his tune up and if his hand is ok and if he faces Parker then if he wins then a Ortiz mandatory fight for the WBC/WBO would be big!

Doubt Wilder fights Ortiz since his last few opponents have tried to cheat to a win over the Bronze Bomber!

The point is that Wach was banned for using PEDs while training to fight Wlad.

I believe that the WBC champion has to defend against a top 15 ranked contender by WBC. Here are the December rankings:

1 .- Alexander Povetkin (Russia)
2 .- Bermane Stiverne (Haiti/Canada)
3 .- Luis Ortiz (Cuba) * CBP/P
4 .- Kubrat Pulev (Bulgaria)
5 .- Johann Duhaupas (France) SILVER
6 .- Andy Ruiz (Mexico)
7 .- Artur Szpilka (Poland)
8 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon)
9 .- Dillian Whyte (Jamaica/GB) INTL/BBB C
10 .- Gerald Washington (US)
11 .- Mariusz Wach (Poland)
12 .- Andrzej Wawrzyk (Poland) * CBP/P
13 .- Jarrell Miller (US) * CBP/P
14 .- David Price (GB) * CBP/P
15 .- Andriy Rudenko (Ukraine) INTL Silver * CBP/P

Out of this list, I wouldn't mind seeing Wilder face Ruiz, Miller, Pulev or Stiverne.

I wouldn't fight a guy who has tested positive before on short notice either if I were Wilder.
