He hasn't done much of anything to deserve to be in the top 10 ratings of current HW division. Winning a belt off a sick slob doesn't count. Many other contendors have much, much better wins than Wilder . But if Wilder wins tonight, I will put him in my top 10 HW. Current ratings . Good thing Ortiz will win! Go #KONGSQUAD!!!
I'd agree. The bottom spots in the top 10 are pretty weak. If he wins tonight, okay top #3-6 earned for Wilder, though I still suspect he's a bit of a fraud.
He's a fraud regardless, but this win, as diminishes as Kong is, will be legit (unless there is an obvs dive)
Dive city! This fight also takes place at the 'Haymon nest' aka Barclay's. My money is on something shady to happen tonight.
Why doesn't Wilder get any props for being a Bronze Medalist in the Olympics, winning and defending the WBC heavyweight title 7 times and having a 39-0 record knocking out every opponent he has ever faced?. . . .My gawd, look at the records of Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and other heavyweight champs. . . . .You are all delusional haters.
Wilder will be just outside the Top 15 if he beats Ortiz. Not much credit from me for beating a Mummy.
come on guys I dislike wilder as much as anyone.. but hes already in the top 10.. you can bash wilder but saying stuff like this is 2 much...
Yeah Joe Frazier defending his title against Ali isn't any better than defending against a pastry chef. ffs. Based on numbers I bow to your expertise. Wilder is clearly a much better boxer than Frazier.
the division now is not very good. Ortiz is unproven. When Tyson came up in 1980 there were a lot of veterans Mike had to beat and he did.. Mike's first year Bonecrusher, Thomas,Tucker,Biggs, then Holmes and Tubbs and Spinks. Those are tough guys compared to what they have now.
