Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder-Luis Ortiz in Works for March 3 at Barclays Center

If this fight doesn't happen shame on Wilder. But, I'll say this Ortiz is about to be 39 (probably older) and has looked flat a lot in recent fights. He gets no credit for kinda stepping up after a decade in the game and his 40th fight.

The Klitschkos never stepped up until they had well over 30 fights each. Wilder isn't doing anything different. He started boxing late & had limited amateur experience but still won a Olympic bronze medal. They brought him along slow. It's not his fault Povetkin & Ortiz are cheats.

I'm guessing Klit was 25 in his last fight

No, but 41 is closer to 39 than it is to 25 and Klit is obviously way more established and flat out better. Probably younger too by 7-8 years (not buying Ortiz' age).

Getting a little testy are we? Moron, idiot...I guess that's the best your limited brain cells can produce when challenged. Nothing changes.

just calling it like i see it

By 30, both guys had already beaten better opposition than the dross Wilder has faced. By 39 fights both had eclipsed him by far and I don't even think the Klit's are all that special. After 10 years in the game for each they'd accomplished so much more than the 39 fight prospect that Wilder is.

Like I said, limited. No surprises there.

I'm not into the whole his age isn't right thing. If you can prove he's lying about his age ok but if not you're lying. Josh-Klit was a great fight. Josh gets credit for it. If Wilder-Ortiz fight whoever wins deserves credit. Most people thought Ortiz was 1 of the best at heavyweight until Wilder signed to fight him. Let the fights play out and we will see whose the best in the division in a year or two.

Wilder will knock this old clown out

If I could make 3X more - I know I wouldn't be afraid to travel outside of my home country - that's for sure.

What percentage of the world's leading boxing experts do you think consider Whyte a tougher opponent than Ortiz?

Finally a real heavyweight fight, a real champion steps up and fights a legitimate contender, Wilder does not hide behind a challenge or a percentage!!!!

Damn Beyonce would rather make $1 mil to fight a known steroid-user just because he's a C-level fighter than go to the UK and fight Dillian for $3 mil

Dillian is a fraud, AJ is a scared fraud
