He had a crap amateur career and did nothing of note.
In his 15th pro fight he was fighting in a rec centre.
To put that into comparison to other fighters AJ was a world champion at that point.
In his 19th fight he was fighting in a club.
To put that further into perspective AJ had all the titles but 2 at that point.
After his 21st fight he was fighting in the joint club and was then banned for taking drugs.
Aj was fighting another world champion at that point.
Ortiz came into the pro game near to 30 years old and should have targeted high profile fights asap. He didn't take them.
The two times he stepped up to world level he got KO'ed.

It's kinda sad cause he's a capable lad with natural athleticism/power and a build that gives him height and reach advantages over just about anyone.
In the end he couldn't even get the basics right despite being a pro for over 11 years.

Wilder need to go back to the basics. He can still rule the world again. It's never too late to learn. He need to fire his entire training crew, because they have contributed nothing to his career. They are mere gold diggers. They failed him or maybe he failed himself. You can't force someone to do things they don't like. Wilder is a one dimensional boxer that only rely on his power. Whyte, AJ, Parker, Fury, and other top heavy weights have shown significant improvements overtime in their career but Wilder keep saying "if it's not broken, don't fix it". Many of us saw that he needed to improve on his basics. We saw this coming. A wise champ ought to have many tools in his pocket. When one style fails, you quickly switch to another. But Wilder wasn't ready to learn. Ortiz was the first person to exposed him. A much younger Ortiz could have won both fights.
No disrespect, but it seems Wilder is the only HW champ in history with no technical skills. What a shame!Last edited by Slimpack; 02-24-2020, 06:11 PM.
