Why are/were Wilder fans so obsessed with Ortiz

[MoneyKasha]

I agree but he is still a moron poster

Ortiz and Povetkin seem equal in technical skill ,but i fancy Povetkin is more durable, hits harder and also has much more world class experience

Same here. Who would you choose between Wilder-Povetkin?

If Fury beat him first those same clowns would say Ortiz was an out of shape old man, and they would be right. Wilder beats him twice and they act like Ortiz wasn’t fat and 40.

That exact situation happened when Ortiz was being sought as an opponent for AJ (before Wilder fought him). Ortiz was a no-name grandad. A few months later (after he turns down the AJ fight for an easier route in Wilder) and Ortiz is an in-his-prime beast who nobody wants to fight

Kind of like how Povetkin was one of the best in the division when he was scheduled to fight Wilder, fails a drug test, schedules a fight with AJ and all of a sudden he's old and shot in the space of 12 months lol

Wildettes will say anything they can to hype up the aluminium bomber or to minimise the success of his rivals. Why? Because (not so) deep down they know his career has been a joke

Only a fool would think for a second a corrupt con artist like Haymon would let his key asset Wilder lose to a 50 year old fat Cuban who draws zero.

Haymon rigged ortiz in both fights. Ortiz was lucky to get the wilder paydays of six figures as he was lucky to get any other fights under haymon for about $20,000.

Ortiz was totally bought in both wilder fights. If you can't grasp that you are a first class fool.

Ortiz is the king of getting big wins in forums but not in the ring, lol dude is almost 42 and still has had a bunch of cans lined up

I just wonder why Eddie Hearn and Dillian Whyte were so obsessed with avoiding Ortiz if he wasn’t any good.

Here, beat this guy and we will give you the title shot you say you want. “NOOOOOO!!!!!!!”

Actually, it was fairly apparent why Whyte wanted no part of the Cuban Missile and is beyond obvious now.

You're wrong doe.
The Cuban turned down Hearn/Whyte's offer of good money,
was asked to cancel Luis' undercard fight with a bum named Razvan Cojanu
and travel to the UK for the Dillan Whyte clash.
Ortiz was asking for "silly money," according to Whyte.
I think Luis was already sweet talked by uncle Haymon and stick with PBC at this point.

Honest question...do you Ortiz fans really think Ortiz is better than Povetkin?

Ortiz is fighting some bum named Alexaner Flores next where Povetkin is still fighting top contenders and will fight Whyte again
