And Ortiz was regarded as one of the more formidable names on that list, for years before and after. Anderson was perhaps a fringe top 10 guy for...
I don't see your point. If you believe that Anderson was just as much a consensus top 10 HW as Ortiz then you're entitled to your opinion,...
I don't see how Byrd (who is no Usyk) would have a chance, Fury wouldn't quit even if he somehow injured himself. "Slick" Kevin Johnson also made...
He's dangerous but slow feet, questionable stamina, mentality and defensive flaws suggest that he'll be fortunate to grab a title, let alone hold...
