Deontay Wilder: top 10 wins

You sound overly invested in this emotionally.

Ortiz tested positive for blood pressure drugs while he was getting ready to fight Wilder (he would be cleared). The WBA decided to drop him for that, but that was irrelevant because he was already in line to fight Wilder.

In 2019, he had Wilder lined up with a similar or better deal when Eddie approached him.

Eddie would've lined him up to fight Joshua when they were working together or would've tried to sign him instead of Jarrel Miller to start with in 2019 if he'd truly been interested in having Joshua fight him.

 

The WBA mandatory was next in line after the IBF. He got popped and destroyed his opportunity.

It was all Povetkin's fault. He got popped twice.

You can disagree all you want. They were better boxers and were rated higher than Ortiz ever was. Povetkin was a better boxer in the amateurs and in the pros. Parker was a titleholder at the time, rated number 3 in the world.

Yeah, it would be right below Povetkin.

 

Only thing I'm invested into are facts.

Yeah, he got popped for PEDs and wasted his opportunity.

Ortiz made 1.5 million against Wilder in 2019. Hearn offered him 6 million. So nope.

Again: Eddie lined him up with the WBA mandatory spot and Ortiz blew it. Simple as that.

 

Perhaps you haven’t moved your bowels today.

He got cleared for the blood pressure meds because he was on a beta blocker which inhibits ability to perform. He didn’t blow anything. The Wilder fight got delayed because of it.

Ortiz made over 6 million for the Wilder rematch and got additional paydays with PBC, most notably the Ruiz fight.

You can use the search function and see my post on it or ask an LLM.

I just did, so you're wrong again.

Yeah, the fight got delayed cause he was caught on the banned substance. He never informed VADA about taking any medications, so he blew it. The fact that he popped in 2014 didn't help him either.

His purse base was 1.5 million, base purse for his AJ match was 6 million. And if he won the fight, he would have earned way more than on his PBC deal.

I don't need to search for anything as I got facts by hand. Saying AJ ducked Ortiz is hilarious.

 

I don’t know why you insist on comparing a flat fee deal with possible minor incentives to an incentive based deal with lower base. Ortiz was paid over 6 million for Wilder.

It’s also interesting that you refuse to acknowledge that he was cleared for HTN meds. He would’ve been suspended and the first Wilder fight wouldn’t have happened if that weren’t the case.

In any case, Joshua quit against Ruiz and sent all sorts of possible fights down the drain as a result.

 

He would be paid more than a flat fee of 6 million from the AJ fight, so this is a non-argument.

He got popped for the banned substance. Second time in his career. He had an option to request the testing of the B sample but he didn't. WBA suspended him. So again, he blew it with being a mandatory.

AJ lost to Ruiz after Ortiz ducked him, so his loss doesn't matter in this discussion.

 

He didn’t gaf about the WBA bc he was signed to fight for the WBC belt.

You can’t duck someone when you’re signed on for a comparable or better deal to fight someone else and they come fishing when their original opponent drops out.

 

Yeah, so again, his fault the AJ fight didn't materialize.

The deal wasn't better and on top of that Ortiz's trainer said it was a bad move to decline the offer and Ortiz's manager apologized to Hearn for messing around.

 

Id put the Szpilka knockout top 5 due to the severity of the knockout. His gf was distraught ringside lol. Just like when Curtis Stevens was sent to another realm by David Lemiuex, his mom was freaked. Me and the wife were 2 rows from her too

 

Actually you a right! His TWO PEDs busts book-ended both the wins against Jennings AND Thompson, putting the legitimacy of BOTH in doubt.

• September 2014: Following a knockout win over Lateef Kayode, 0.5.2 reports that Ortiz tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone 0.5.1. The Nevada State Athletic Commission fined him, suspended him for eight months, and turned the win into a no-decision 0.5.1. [1, 2]

• September 2017: Ahead of a scheduled fight with 0.5.5 Deontay Wilder, VADA reported that Ortiz tested positive for diuretics (chlorothiazide and hydrochlorothiazide) 0.5.3. These are banned because they can be used to mask other performance-enhancing drugs 0.5.5. The fight was cancelled, and he was subsequently fined $25,000 0.5.10. [1, 2]

 

He was cleared for the second incident.

 

Lol. A guy with a previous bust taking two masking agents.

 

What was the beta blocker about?
