    I am picking the People's Champion, Deontay Wilder, by KO 4

    Surely nobody believes Ortiz can pull this off? A year and 8 months older from the first fight.

    Ortiz has zero wins vs. top 10 opponents. He has a habit of being out of shape. He's old as hell. He aged another 2 years since the last fight.

    No, he can't pull this off.

    As good as Ortiz has been. The old man is just happy he's getting that money again before he finishes up, much easier than last time for Wilder

    Did Ortiz find a way to get younger since the last fight? I hope he shares it with other people. I need to get younger myself. Expect Wilder to win in dramatic fashion.

    War Ortiz !!!

    With that said King Kong has like 1% chance of winning if Hammer couldn't miss with his right hand, Deontay will KTFO him,

    I can't see a reason not to pick Wilder.

    Ortiz just left his career way too late, can you imagine if he was 10 years younger? He could have been a real threat to the Klitschkos back then if he didn't decide to leave it till he was 40 to start fighting at the top.

    Wilder ends it sooner rather than later.

    Wilder. Ortiz isn't shop-warn and is not really older than the lot of HW's still vying for a title. It will be competitive.

    Ortiz of course! It would throw the whole division into turmoil and nobody would be able to claim he doesn't have to fight [insert name] to be called champ.

    Wilder will win and I want him to win. Wilder fighting other belt holders will be more entertaining than Ortiz doing it.

    This is a pre-retirement payday for Ortiz.

    Wilder wins within 6. Probably within 4.
