Makhmudov takes out everyone at HW. Even Fury. Usyk clowns him though And I feel Fury is on the slip. Wilder took alot of his resistance away with all those knockdowns.
Ortiz would be the logical next opponent (after Takam) for Makhmudov. But Bob Arum will likely have him face someone he co-promotes, like Kean.
Makhmudov is 6'5 and 250-265lbs and hits extremely hard. Ortiz is a skillful veteran with a old man chin and loss of power and reactions. It cant end well for Ortiz after 3 or 4 rounds he could do okay before then.
Im a big Makhmudov fan myself. But thats just a ludicrous delusional statement or maybe youre trolling. Fury is all wrong for him and just too damn good. If you'd said Makhmudov beats anybody apart from Fury and Usyk Id probably agree though.
Makhmudov right now is unproven. But with Ortiz clearly being well past his best and his chin clearly a liability he might end up getting KO'ed against a big powerful heavy like Makhmudov. But then again maybe Ortiz lands a bomb and Mahkmudov is exposed as the next David Price. There's just a big question mark in regards to Makhmudov. I don't think he'll be another Price but maybe he's another Ajagba or Dubois, big powerful, dangerous, but very limited. But even that might be enough to beat Ortiz now.
