Whyte is the biggest hype job in HWD and will badly exposed by Parker!

No, Whyte won't beat Ortiz.
Ortiz would beat Whyte 9 out of 10 times probably. Ortiz is one class above Whyte.
And i doubt Wilder is ducking Whyte. I don't like Wilder but Wilder would beat Whyte easily.

 

It's easy to say Wilder can't box or is a bum and Ortiz won 8 of 10 rounds because of that. I think it's a pretty one dimensional point of view.

Of course Ortiz isn't 30 anymore, i mean he turned pro at 30/31, but he is still one of the best HWs out there and he proved that vs Wilder. Everyone is declining at age 30+ and Ortiz won't get better but he still has enough to take out such bums like Whyte.

Ortiz had his first proper training camp for years before his fight vs Wilder and you could see the difference. Compare him vs Wilder with vs Martz or Allen. If you say he is declining why he was a level above himself vs Wilder than vs Martz/Allen where he wasn't having a regular training camp before?!

Whyte won't beat Ortiz. Never ever. Whyte never faced a heavy handed world class southpaw with genious ring iq like Ortiz before. Whyte is a brawler without a plan b and if he starts to exchange with Ortiz he will get destroyed. If he tries to outbox Ortiz he will get countered and Ortiz will outbox him like he did it with Wilder. Style makes fights and Ortiz is a horror matchup for Whyte in all aspects.

It's always easy to say a fighter was only good because the opponent is bad but Wilder is legit #2 HW out there, an absolute elite athlete in terms of physique and probably the hardest punching guy in the whole division and Ortiz was still taking his shots for 10 rounds, he was winning rounds in the late stage of the fight (7th/8th round) so i won't accept that talk like Ortiz is too old, too slow. No man. Ortiz was never a fast moving HW, he always was a very smart mover who knows where he has to be in the ring because of his genious ring iq.

Ortiz is one level above Whyte in almost all aspects of the game. At the rest he is even two classes above Whyte.

Everyone who is talking about old, slow .... probably never has seen Ortiz fight apart from some highlight videos.

Rewatch the Wilder fight and tell me again he is slow or declining fast. This is - sorry for that - bull****. He probbaly calls it a career soon but not because he isn't able to knock the **** out of some opponents.

Joshua, Wilder, Ortiz, Povetkin and Parker are the Top 5 HW elite. They'll beat almost everyone outside the Top 5 right now. Almost because there are some really good prospects out there who can crack into the region in the near future.

Whyte knows why he is fighting Parker and not Ortiz. Parker is more winnable than Ortiz because the chance that the fight lasts 12 rounds and goes to the cards is high and then he has the home factor + Eddie to save some rounds he probably lost. Ortiz is too risky for him. Getting badly stopped by a 39 yr old who is coming from a stoppage loss would probably end all of Whytes chances to get another shot at a world title.

 

A lot of guys are not seeing that almost EVERYONE in the HW division is ducking Ortiz for years now.

Wilder was the only legit Top 10 HW who was fighting him. Props to him. I don'T like Wilder but he deserves respect for taking the fight although Ortiz isn't the same as three or four years ago he is still one of the best out there.
