    To be fair you are picking names that aren't it it. I'm using official rankings as of right now. You are not.

    Ortiz is so old now, Chargeav who was in his prime and a fair alphabet champion would defeat him

    I've said this myself today, I don't see Wlad ever beating Fury. Styles, Fury s confidence in the ring, being able to match Wlad for size.
    Prime Wlad loses by decision.

    Yes I fully accept that! I was pushing my own agenda, which is I probably believe this era is a lot stronger than most give it credit for. The fact Uysk, maybe the greatest cruiserweight of all time and Pulev, only lost to Klitschko whilst beating some good names aren’t even ranked speaks wonders for the era in my opinion.

    I think Ortiz is a very talented boxer and has much better fundamentals than Chagaev. I’d also say he boasts a pretty good engine for his age. Like I said though, I wouldn’t be resistant to anyone favouring Chagaev, I think it’s a far assertion
