All of the world's leading experts have him in the top 5, and frankly, most of them have him in the top 3 or 4.
NSB agreed completely when they thought Wilder was avoiding him. As soon as Wilder agreed to fight him, suddenly Ortiz was 130 years old, over the hill, slow, a bum, etc.
He used to be considered one of the best in the divison, but now that Wilder is fighting him, he is either:
1) 50 year old talentless grandpa
2) Overhyped drug cheat
If he was indeed a good fighter, that would conflict with their narrative certain posters are clinging to that Wilder won't fight anyone good. They've been saying he's a talentless, crude hypejob for almost a decade now, so it would be very embarrassing for them if that wasn't the case.
