Comments Thread For: Wilder: Me Beating Ortiz Better Than Joshua Stopping Klitschko

Originally posted by Lemonhead_Jeff View PostWhy do you believe Klitschko hits harder than Ortiz? They both have an equal 77% Knockout ratio, but Ortiz was able to stop Bryant Jennings after Jennings went 12 full rounds with Klitschko. Stamina wise, Ortiz did not show poor conditioning against Wilder. On the contrary, Ortiz showed great footwork, and he was able to maintain his fairly steady pace throughout the fight. Both Joshua and Wilder put up meaningful victories over older opponents. Joshua gets the credit he deserves for his performance. Don't try to take Wilder's due credit away from him now. Believe me, I know it sucks when the fighter you thought was a bum proves you wrong.
As for your Jennings comparison... one specific situation doesn't prove a point. Joshua finished off Eric Molina in 3 rounds whilst Wilder took 8... does that mean Joshua has more power than Wilder? The answer to that question is obviously no hence why comparisons of what fighters do to a mutual opponent are moot and pointless.
PS: My post you quoted finished off with 'Wilder's win is no better or worse than Joshua's win'. How on earth is that trying to take credit away from him? That's attributing equal credit to Wilder as I do Joshua.

He's right.
Luis Ortiz was the best HW in the world for most of the past 3 years and nobody wanted to fight him.
He would've beat the Klitschko that struggled with Bryant Jennings and lost to Tyson Fury
He would've beaten the Joshua that struggled with Klitschko
And he would've beaten Deontay Wilder if he was just a TAD younger.

Oh and Ortiz was shot and ruined immediately after failing to put Wilder away. Hell on the day I even mentioned on here that Wilder would go on to win after that round as Ortiz had nothing left from then on.

Originally posted by Graz View PostThe only similarity between the two fights is the advanced age of both Wilder's and AJ's opponents. Otherwise can't compare the two.
You cant even compare the two fights anyway ,one fighter was saved by the bell ,the other had to overcome a punch in the early stages by one of the hardest hitters of all time in his 19th pro fight .
