Joshua-Klitschko or Wilder-Ortiz- Which was the Better Win?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Did Anthony Joshua's victory over Wladimir impress you more or do you think Wilder topped that with his victory over Ortiz?

I go with AJ's win since Wlad was the more proven fighter at the time and while he was 41 years old going in, Ortiz was 38 at the youngest.

I'm not sure who was more hurt in their fight, though. Wilder was definitely shook up but AJ went down. So it's hard to say.

We have seen this poll everywhere now , alwysbends up c. 80-90% Joshua and 10-20% wilder. Overtime will probably increase to Joshua as wilders fight is still in recent memory.

It’s really simple reasons really why everyone thinks that:

1) Joshua fight was a unification (vs voluntary)
2) klitschko punch was epic (vs Ortiz who couldn’t knock wilder down)
3) klitschko resume is impressive, having been unbeaten for ten years (vs Ortiz who had beaten no one of any value)
4) Joshua and klitschko were both far more popular fighters, so the fight was much bigger in its own right anyway
5) Joshua fight was built up as a “handing over of the guard”; wilders was built up as “first real test”


None of that should discredit wilder from his result, it’s just not a sensible thing to compare against in my opinion

ortiz was a fat 38 year old man with no resume. stop

Those are called obliques lmao, Ortiz is not obese, obese is a guy like James Toney or an old Foreman

39. Also very one dimensional.

It was a passing of the torch even when the champ didn't want too. AJ better watch out. Everyone is after him #bringbacktysonfury

Ortiz let ppl know that wilder can be hurt just need to counter and have a stiff Jab. wilder is no Ali

[-Kev-]

Wlad of course, due to Wlad's accomplishments and dominance as a HW.
