What’s the big difference between Takam and Parker? Their fight was very close and I’d say Takam pushed Joshua just as much until a weak stoppage. I think Takam has a good chin him vs. Ortiz would be a good fight.
Old Klitschko would be a slight favourite, Povetkin as well, but Ortiz certainly beats the rest of them...
Punch power? Takam is teak tough but doesn't seem to have the power to go along with it. AJ was more respect full of Parkers power and fought accordingly.
Ortiz was clearly taking it easy on Allen, since Allen despite having talent was way to green to be in the ring with him, but Allen proved to be a lot more durable crafty than Ortiz planned. However, as soon as Ortiz stepped up the pace Allen was helpless. Also, Allen's team had a great game plan for fighting Ortiz, since Allen was staying in the pocket and moving his head, which was making it difficult for Ortiz to time him, but Ortiz's counter left hooks and right uppercuts took their toll on Allen. If Ortiz was serious with Allen he ripped Allen to pieces with straight lefts and ended him quick, but he didn't. Pac also showed similar mercy to Rios and Algieri, who he could've easily stopped if he wanted to, but eased up on both.
Wlad and Parker. Small outside chance of Whyte and Takam outlasting him to a boring and razor thin decision win.
Klitschko, when Joshua fought him, and Parker are 50/50. Whyte and Breazeale have a "puncher's chance." Nobody else comes close to beating him with Takam being the only one to potentially give a rough night. This is also assuming we are talking about Ortiz when Wilder faced him and we are talking about these other fighters when Joshua fought them.
If they fought this past year, none of the above would be favored to beat Ortiz with the exception of Joseph Parker. Obviously a prime Wlad would likely detonate Ortiz, but prime Wlad would've detonated Joshua as well so let's be serious.
Why are we talking about Ortiz like he's some sort of god - because what, he knocked out Bryant Jennings and an old Tony Thompson...…… The same fella went the distance with Malik Scott in a HORRIBLE fight who was put away by Wilder inside 1 and Chisora in 6 rounds prior. This monster "King Kong" also nearly went the distance with an out of shape Dave Allen who was blowing out his arse from the 2nd / 3rd onwards after taking the fight late notice.
