Yes. I rate the HWs as #1 Joshua, #2 Povetkin, #3 Parker, #4 Ortiz and #5 Wilder I'd have Wilder at #6 if Fury was fully fit and fighting. I have all 5 of those guys beating Wilder and a few of the other top 10 guys too. So if he beats Ortiz he gets props from me as long as isn't a farce like Scott or Stiverne 2.
I believe AJ is keen on all fights. He likes to fight. Fact is IBF had to have their mandatory first as per the agreement and so Ortiz had to wait... Which sucks for him but isn't Joshua's fault. I believe Ortiz is very dangerous and he will stop Wilder. If I'm wrong I will give Wilder his due.
Povetkin no.2 lmao Povetkin has not looked the same ever since he was busted for the ostarine. Parker chose to fight Hughie Fury instead of a unification with Wilder, even when the fight was cancelled the first time he still chose to fight Fury again.
So you don’t think it’s strange that the WBA banned Ortiz as AJ’s mandatory even though the WBC who initially accused Ortiz for the failed drug test cleared him? You just think that’s coincidence, huh?
Of course. It's definitely a step up for Wilder. He will get credit from me. I think he will do it as well. I think he will stop Ortiz in the second half of the fight.
Depends on the manner of his win. I just hope it's a legit clean fight with no boxing politics involved.
Depends on if Ortiz comes to win. If he walks in and takes a dive just to collect his paycheck like Stiverne II then its hard to give Wilder too much credit for it.
Yeah for sure. I wanted this fight a while back but whatever.. Ortiz is still a great fighter and his real first test.
