Yea yeah, Ortiz against Wlad??? Hahaha, defensively??? Son, stfu..Wlad would have fcked Ortiz up even with his PEDS, he is a known cheat...not forgetting his heart problems, plus Ortiz is probably much closer to 50 years old.listen, if you enjoy 38 jabs in a row followed by a right hand, then the lean forward and rest your weight on your opponent type of style, then so be it. If you enjoy panicky fighters who will not engage while the opponent is punching, knock yourself out. As I said in other posts, Ortiz is better defensively all around than klitchko, he's a better counter puncher, better combination puncher, and especially against the older worn down version that fury and Joshua fought. Not sure who you're calling a youngin but based on your lack of understanding of what a boxing technician entails, I'm positive that I have more boxing knowledge and experience (in and out of the ring) than you do young buck.Comment

I already have you pegged. You're an aj nut rider so you really don't know or care who is more skilled between klitchko and Ortiz. You just care that Joshua beat klitchko so you're going to amp up that win over a 42 yr old fighter coming off a long lay off and a loss where he barely through any punches. Hey, whatever makes you feel better and covers up the fact that aj is ducking wilder to fight a.... Wait for it.... Old ped cheat.Comment

Stiverne & Ortiz were literally ranked ahead of Chisora, Andy Ruiz and Hughie Fury, 3 guys that arguably beat both Parker & Whyte.
Fred Kassi already had 8 losses and he arguably beat Brezeale before AJ fought him a year later.
Legacy Arena, Birmingham, Alabama - Rising heavyweight prospect Dominic Breazeale (16-0, 14KOs) won a controversial ten round unanimous decision over veteran Fred Kassi (18-4-1, 10KOs). The scores were 97-93, 98-92 and an absolutely absurd 100-90. BoxingScene had it 95-95 for the draw and felt Kassi had the edge. Kassi is coming off spirited ten round draw with Chris Arreola in July - where some had him as the winner - and prior to that he was stopped by Amir Mansour in seven rounds last November.
Brezeale's lone win over Ugonoh isn't much better than Duhaupas' over Helenius. Even Whyte couldn't knock out Helenius but Duhaupas did.
These UK boys are crazy overrated.Comment

In reality neither Fury or AJ have fought a better than mediocre heavyweight. Charles fl-ing Martin???? Whyte??? Parker??? A washed up Klitschko??? Fury was involved in hands down the worst heavyweight championship bout I thought I would never see. Klitschko clearly exhibited totally shot reflexes. It reminded me of Holmes-Spinks, only much, much worse.
As for AJ, I can see why he's reluctant to leave the UK with the home cooking he gets. He was life and death with a heavyweight that was active around the Lewis era, and gets much undeserved credit for something he is not quite yet, or maybe never will be. True, Wilder only has one notable name on his record, but the other two are in the same boat as far as quality of oppositon.Comment

Then why did everyone except Wilder duck him? If he's as bad and decrepit as you state, that's what Joshua and the likes of Whyte feast on. Decrepit or cab drivers, or contestants from tough man competitions.Comment

Wilder might be the Heavy Weight champion, that people will trash and say he never fought anybody and end up knocking everyone out, but people will say they actually weren't any good and Furry wasn't ready.
But Wilder will still probably end up knocking everyone out including Joshua and Furry, but people still won't give him credit until he retire"s.Comment

If you're going to use that straw man argument then it's so easy to flip that around and say that Ortiz clearly was decrepit/a cab driver, because Wilder's resume is filled with them. It's a bull**** argument.
It's funny how there's so much propping up Ortiz/tearing into Klitschko and vice versa here. The reality is that there are question marks over Joshua's win over Klitschko based on Wlad's inactivity.
The reality is also that there are question marks over Luis Ortiz based on the fact that nobody truly has a benchmark of what he is capable of due to his history of abusing PEDs. Since coming back from his suspension Ortiz faced nobody of worth prior to losing to Wilder for anyone to discern his worth (you know just like was the case for Klitschko v Joshua).
Trying to claim one win is better than the other is just laughable and nothing more than a fanboy agenda.
Not sure whether you're just ill informed or flat out lying.
Joshua's first amateur fight was 2009, his last was the Olympics in 2012. Basic maths says that isn't 5 years.
Wilder finished with an amateur record of 30-5, Joshua finished with an amateur record of 40-3... so there's a grand total of 8 bouts difference between their experience.Comment

I so agree with this. It is why I still lean Joshua when they do fight. Even if you give Wilder a clear edge in power, Joshua has enough to keep Wilder from just winging bombs randomly as a clean shot from AJ will end your night. He is also a fairly calm and focused fighter. While I see him as a tad mechanical, he won't leave himself wide open for Wilder. Wilder has advantages over Joshua, but I feel on his best night Joshua can avoid a clean power shot and beat Wilder down slowly.Douglas resume wasnt bad particularly under 40 fights, he fought top legit and relevant guys like Tucker, McCall , Tyson , Holyfield . They may be few but any of these guys make Stiverne look foolish .
Wilder ? He fought Stiverne as a challenger and Ortiz going into the fight with a bunch of nonsense about health issues so we dont know exactly what the F was going on ?
We dont need Fury stating this , anyone who knows how to read can look up Wilders resume as a 7 title defence champion , its easily accessible . lol
Wilder himself is an anomaly .
A very dangerous fighter but one with the right competent opponent is going to lose ( and almost did ) bc you cant be assuming your going to go behind in fights stepping up and your one punch is going to land everytime , boxing doesn't work like that !
Problem is that Fury does not have great power, is not in very good shape (we will see how he looks next fight, I could be selling his come back a little short), and I have never thought he was that great technically. He just has been real good about using his size to stay out of harms way or his weight to lean into and smother his opponent depending on who he is fighting. I just don't see his skill set working against a hungry and motivated Wilder.Comment
