    I don't see how you could say that with any degree of confidence. Ortiz has one easy on the eye win over an overrated Jennings. Big ****ing whoop.

    I love how these theories are made up to bloat the record of another.

    So, how exactly has Ortiz convinced you that he beats Povetkin? Was it his inability to remain standing in the two fights he stepped up?
    Styles make fights and if you take the pros/cons of both fighters, Povetkin stylistically is a real problem for the plodding Ortiz.

    Perhaps it was his laboured win over the mighty Dave Allen?

    If Chaz Witherspoon was able to land on Usyk, why won't Wilder?

    Ortiz's wins over Dave Allen and Travis the Real Deal Kauffman are the stuff legends are made of.

    You dont think DW will land a single clean power shot for 12 rounds? Ok.

    Wilder was green in his prime years, he is just now starting to develop enough to successfully land that big right against better competition.

    It will take more than a few punches to lay out Usyk.

    I think he learnt an awful lot when he was in the klitchko camp, very good at using his height and reach, judging the distance and working behind a solid 1-2

    very difficult to beat

    a Mike Tyson style or someone bigger than wilder that can move like fury also do well

    He can, but I don't think that he will. He will land on the gloves or usyk will roll with the punch.
    I think that usyk will beat him

    Fair assessment. I'd also add his jab and boxing IQ are underrated as well.

    Says a lot that according to most, all his opponents have to do is avoid his right hand, and NONE have.

    Probably, as he's much less likely to get hit flush than almost any heavyweight, along with Fury. However, if Wilder lands clean and hard on anyone's chin, there's a damn good chance they're going down.

    Technique wise he is very limited.
    Strategically, he is incredibly competent.

    A lot of power punchers go after people. Wilder has looked at his worst when he's done that. At his best, he's simply pared his game down to his albeit inconsistent jab and a few definitive exchanges a round, sat back, and waited for his opponent to overextend. His power is the ultimate deterrent. He makes the most of not using it where many guys would spam it.
