He's good, but some of his recent performances show him to be mortal. Went 12 with Scott, same guy that wilder knocked out in 1. Took too long with his last 2 opponents, which are complete bums below journeyman level.

I admit I'm a fan of both fighters. The problem with Ortiz is with punches thrown! He does not throw many.
But truth be told when he lands its a muther f****ker. I give him 5-6 rounds if he can land one and one is all he needs.
After that Wilder wins a decision.

At his best, he's among the top three Heavyweights in the world. At his scientific best he's damn good. I rate him as number one; Given his fundamentals and amateur pedigree.

#3 or #4 heavyweight in the world.. southpaw and an accurate hard hitting counter puncher. wilder better keep it long range. lets just say this fight will reveal the level wilder is at. if he wins clearly he will deserve respect

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostAll of the world's leading experts have him in the top 5, and frankly, most of them have him in the top 3 or 4.
NSB agreed completely when they thought Wilder was avoiding him. As soon as Wilder agreed to fight him, suddenly Ortiz was 130 years old, over the hill, slow, a bum, etc.
So really, you aren’t far off. But Parker is almost universally ranked no.3. Joshua is always keeping that one step ahead of Wilder. But this Ortiz win definitely makes the fight much better on paper.
