    You calling landing only 8 punches more throughout the fight that he lost by quitting a domination? Hilarious indeed.

    Ortiz was at his peak late 30’s, Tyson peaked early 20’s and was losing to McBride and Danny at that point.

    If Golota shows up he has more than enough to trouble Wilder.

    First time Wilders right hand touches Golotas face Golota will start crying and quit

    Just like he did vs the other big punchers he fought

    Why does Ortiz have to be better than those guys?

    And ya hes definitley better than old Tyson and Valuev but what does that even matter?

    Because for Wilder to definitely get past them, they need to be worse than the guy he had difficulty with - if they're better than Ortiz (I'd say they all are, comfortably) then he struggles with all of them, and/or loses to them.

    I think Ortiz gets overrated to a silly degree for a guy who didn't achieve very much at all.

    Exactly. Theyre talking about Wilder like he didn’t beat Ortiz twice. Byrd would be an easy night’s work for Ortiz.

    Styles make fights

    Shot Tyson and Holyfield arent beating Wilder or Ortiz

    Haye is 50/50 with Wilder but Wilder probably knocks him out.

    Yes, if Wilder isn’t allowed to punch him in the face.

    Would be an interesting fight

    The output would probably be so low in that fight

    I think it would look a lot like Ortiz’s fight with Scott. I’d like to see Scott against Byrd.

    You know people on this forum just have it out for Wilder when they say stuff like ANDREW GOLOTA would give Wilder trouble


    Only trouble he might give Wilder is before he gets Dqd
