Wilders performance against Ortiz was not impressive....

[Madison Boxing]

If Ortiz was of no earthly good then why did Anthony Joshua opted not to fight him then? In addition, I disagree with your original premise. The victory was impressive because Ortiz was undefeated and avoided by most contenders in the Heavyweight division despite being 49 years old. It wasn't until Wilder with the indomitable fortitude who came along and gave him a voluntary title shot. If anything that was more impressive of him had he never laid a single glove on King Kong in the first place.

.... and to answer your first question, the fight never happened because ortiz looked so poor on his sky sports outings that it killed any interest when they were trying to build the fight. thats honestly the truth of it as a uk fan who saw the reaction. think they showed the malik scott fight and then it took him 7 rounds to stop allen who he was really meant to get rid of in 1 or 2 rounds, however durable he is.

it was a solid win but nowhere near the defining win people are making it out to be. and there seems to have been some shift since the ortiz and parker fights that wilders the favourite on here. at the very least theres a hell of a lot more people picking wilder than there was, which i dont understand when you consider wilder struggled about 5x more with ortiz then joshua did with parker who had a better CV.

Who had a better CV

parker had a better resume than ortiz. its far from amazing but hughie fury, andy ruiz, carlos takam is better than jennings, thompson (the only man older than ortiz) and dave allen,

I don’t think he was overly impressive in that fight, I thought he would blow Ortiz away but he made harder work of it. And no offence to Ortiz but he fought Wilder with typical boxing basics. But Wilder definitely prove he can be taken to bottom and rise up before he gets drowned.

Neither was golovkin's vs canelo or Jacob's

Lol why is Andy Ruiz and Hughie Fury more impressive than stopping Jennings and Thompson you obviously wouldn't have said that before AJ fought Parker

Not even a Wilder fan. I'm a boxing fan, something I know you know nothing about, it reflects in your posts

You are a simple nuthugger and fangirl, you suck Deontay day and night. Don't even try to deny you dirty liar

Thompson was shot to pieces and came in at short notice. The win meant less than nothing. At least Fury and Ruiz were fresh and decent. The same can not be said for that version of Thompson.

thompson was 44 years old lol. he'd lost wide points to takam a couple years before that and was basically retired after losing to malik scott of all people. please dont tell me thats a decent win
