Calling it now, Wilder doesn't see the 10th.

I'll take any version of Ortiz ANY day over the opposition Wilder fought .

People dont know what they want and dont look at the actual skills.


Hes too muscular ,hes to fat , he doesnt have enough muscle , hes to skinny .......... etc . etc ......

Wilder at 215 is going to have a difficult fight . If Ortiz ACTUALLY goes ALL in on him ,he wins !

Which shows how poor Wilder resume is. But for me this fight is too late for Ortiz, he would see things but his body wouldn't be able to react. That happens with every fighter once you get older.

This will be the first time Deontay faces a real fighter (+ who isn't a police officer or construction worker by trade)

Can those chicken legs hold up? I doubt it.

Yeah, I think the size thing with an actual good fighter like Ortiz is going to be too much for Wilder to handle.
Ortiz by no means is a fleet-footed fighter and we all know what a 214lbs Wilder wants to do for this fight, but the problem with that is Wilder won't be favoured at all when Ortiz does get up close, too much weight disparity.

This is boxing who knows, but I'm gonna go all out and say I'm pretty sure Ortiz will spark him.

I'm NOT a huge fan of athletes like Wilder. Boxing is a little different though sometimes. For example, Broner runs his mouth like a clown and bases his entire life on copying a personality. Not sure how ANYONE could back a guy like that.

Wilder can be pretty annoying at times, swing wildly (no pun intended), but he gets people out of there and has pushed himself immensely in his life, especially when he went to the Olympics. If he was a little more humble and dressed not so much like a millennial, he'd probably be very famous.

You are severly underating a skilled fighter who just has to show up great ONE night like MOST great fighters do in TITLE fights .

I remember all you guys telling me Klitchko was too old ,past it , done .

Not only does Ortiz have less wear and tear than Wlad had but he just fought a tune up fight which helps immensely no matter how long it goes ( with the exception of anything under 2 minutes ) and Wilder is not Joshua .


Wilders resume isnt fighting ,and outside Joshua you wont find a more dangerous fighter than Ortiz ...... IF he comes to win !

Nobody can hate Wilder for his style the guy is always entertaining and gives big KOes you pretty much nailed it on the head its the arrogance of him, but wasn't Floyd Mayweather the same way?
I think you maybe overestimate the interest in boxing to think Wilder could be very famous with those changes, I like the sport and all, but Floyd Mayweather is just a grand exception to the rule it's likely we won't see another American boxer who attracts that stardom for a very, very, very long time!

In my opinion, we should have a pretty big American PPV name though because Errol Spence to me is just everything we need in boxing right now, I haven't got a clue how that guy isn't a PPV star he really should be.

You are only saying that because you are an Anthony Joshua fan. You don't fool me. You worthless troll.

[Southpawology]

Ortiz age scares me...38. He has the technical skills edge though but Wilder has youth and athleticism advantage.

Yea, Floyd was. But he was an incredible fighter. Time will tell. I'd love to see Wilder on ESPN, having some promo while he's in the gym and not having some casual next to me saying, "Remember Mike Tyson man?"

Ughh....

Wilder at 215 is going to have a difficult fight ( imop is to small at 6'7 ) for the caliber Ortiz is . If Ortiz ACTUALLY goes ALL in on him ,he wins !

This I agree with
