    Now im no hater of Luis Ortiz .im actually a fan of his. I been keeping an eye on the WBC rankings and Ortiz is ranked #3. Even after the wilder loss. He was #4 previously i saw last month . Usyk and Wilder are ranked ahead of ortiz though.

    . As we all know Ortiz is up there in age especially with his medications.

    Will Ortiz get one more title shot? Or fight one more top contender like ruiz ,whyte. Pov etc

    Ortiz is at #3. Will he get a shot at Tyson Fury?

    Rankings don't mean anything

    Belts don't mean anytinhg

    Usyk will be a top 10 heavyweight soon enough but he shouldn't be worthy of even top 20 status right now.

    Grandpa Ortiz is a good friend of Mr Haymon and loyal servant to the wbc president. Because of Whyte's humiliating loss to Povetkin. His title shot will be forfeited, and king kong gets his third title shot next year, when Tyson is stripped of that shiny belt and it's awarded to Deontay for ducking the rematch this year. Lol

    wbc rankings are dodgy as ***** anyways
    i mean you can stay ranked with them for years without ever holding their belt
    i mean you can be given a ranking for charitable work
    its there in there dodgy a55 rules
    i do not recognise the wbc at this stage
    its a pantomime outfit at best

    Ranking has been a joke for a long time. As others have mentioned, so has championship belts.

    Combined age of Pulev and Ortiz has to be at least 100

    Yes it all started going wrong with boxing after they dispensed with London Prize Ring Rules, think Ortiz made his pro debut at one of those bouts.:rolleyes:
