Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker-Luis Ortiz: The Unconsidered Alternative Outcome

[Boxing Scene]

The more likely scenario here is Joshua vs Ortiz. Can't see Joshua losing to Parker and I can't see wilder beating Ortiz. Wilder has never fought anyone even close to Ortiz level. Ortiz win will seem like an upset but not to me. Ortiz isn't an unranked bum which is all wilder has ever fought

What exactly is Ortiz' level? Who has he fought and beaten? Did you see his last 2 fights?

I don't know where all this imaginary level is coming from, he has not fought better competition than Wilder.

wilder's more likely to lose than A.j. especially since he can't get his attention off a.j,an upset will make sense and be attributed to lack of focus from wilder

I don't see why anyone would say the hw division is exciting or good right now. There is AJ and Wilder. Then everyone else. Parker probably is #3 behind those two and he has looked like ****. This is no different than the last decade. Except AJ and Wilder aren't brothers like Vlad and Vitali. When they ruled everyone complained that after them everyone was horrible. Which isn't entirely wrong. Now instead of Vlad and Vitali and then the rest it is AJ and Wilder then the rest. And AJ is acting like he will not face Wilder, so it really is the same. Top two guys are by far the best, but will never fight each other.

I'm a Wilder fan, but I honestly don't get anyone saying beating Ortiz proves anything. Ortiz is fat and old and out of shape. He had power and energy when he was on his peds. He was good then. Then he got popped and ever since he has looked worse and worse in every fight. He's a bum now.

AJ vs DW should happen this year, Wilder is 33 years old and won't be any younger.

Wilder is at least fighting experienced, skilled guys and learning his trade. AJ has so far only fought one skilled guy.

That makes me sway towards Wilder now.

You are being facetious I assume?

A 2018 Wilder gets the nod.

Wilder will beat Ortiz on March 3. Ortiz does have the skills & experience but TIME/age has caught up with King-Kong. A 2014-15 Ortiz would have beat Wilder.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I dont mind any combination of those fighters facing each other.

Parker, Wilder, Joshua, Ortiz, and the last one standing will be the true champ.

I like watching good fights period. I don't care about big names. Some of the best fights ever came from the result of two nobody's fighting.

That makes me sway towards Wilder now.

I wish Ortiz would've never taken the step aside for AJ to fight Klitschko, and just forced the issue with Joshua! Eventually AJ swerved him, and he got old and inactive. Basically, we have Wilder facing an old man, and we had AJ fight an even older man, who was even more inactive than Ortiz! Hopefully Gassiev and Usyk move up and make things more interesting in the HW division!
