Yep, I'm happy to concede Parker was a bad name on the list on my part and to be deserving of the shot would need a good win (or two) more and TBF although I favour Povetkin over Ortiz, he too could win a fight or two since his AJ loss.. I always admit a mistake. Do you disagree with ,Whyte, Pulev, Kabayel, Kownacki?? - what am i saying, disregard that, ofcourse you will...(exception possibly Whyte) Ortiz had his chance and I believe should of been placed down the queue
Deontay Wilder should fight Dillian Whyte right now. Whyte shouldn't be fighting Rivas next and Wilder shouldn't be fighting Ortiz next. But they are. Ortiz is next in line. His first fight with Wilder was very exciting. I have no problem with them fighting again. I want them all to fight each other on a regular basis. I've been saying it for a couple years now. I'd prefer it if guys like Wilder and Fury and Joshua and all of them started fighting each other now ... because they could all fight one, two or three times each. They just need to start the ball rolling. Lets get series' of fights between these guys going. I thought we'd done that with the Wilder-Fury fight last year, but then Fury ran for the hills and Bob Arum as they were about to announce fight two. If it's Wilder-Ortiz 2, okay. As for the others, Kowanacki is good, but he says he doesn't want a shot now. For whatever reason, he doesn't think he's ready. I saw Kabayel fight once, against Chisora. It was one of those fights where Chisora was flat, before he joined up with David Haye. I wasn't impressed with Kabayel at all. He got the close decision. I haven't seen or heard of him do anything since. He's just "a guy." Leans on you. Throws slow punches with not much on them. Just a typical monotonous heavyweight "guy." Nothing about him stands out in the least. Frankly, I don't even know why he's ranked. Pulev would be fine. But I don't think he's ever going to fight in the U.S. again (if he has to take "don't try to kiss the harlot who was massaging your dick between her ass cheeks two minutes earlier" classes). Pulev seems like an easy defense for either Joshua or Wilder. He wasted his best years, if you ask me. Bottom line, an Ortiz rematch is fine. A Fury rematch is fine. I'd prefer Wilder fight Whyte before either of them again, though. But I'm not going to bash another good fight because I want to see another. Again, in the WBC ratings, the only truly "deserving" challenger is Whyte. He's done more than enough. Whyte, Fury or Ortiz. They're the top WBC challengers.
If Ortiz was younger, it'd be alright. Not what I wanted to see, but alright. Since Ortiz is older than Methuselah, I'm not really interested.
Some people always expect us to get the 2 best or top 5's mixing it up within the same division multiple times every year. It just doesn't happen. Wilder/Ortiz II is nice, that first fight was obviously very competitive with Ortiz handling him well and an exciting finish. Best fight out there for Wilder? No. Top 5 fight out there for Wilder? Yeah.
