    Sultan was good enough to beat Holyfield and Pulev was a great fight.

    I think this will be a good fight just not in terms of the gross. Americans would rather watch a Floyd vs McG freak show.

    I've seen a lot of his fights but his style was terrible to watch. I thought Timor Ibragimov was better than sultan.

    Had Ibragimov beaten the Holy field of the 90's id give him his due. I just don't think his relatively unknown status at the time of the klitscko fight warrants it a bigger fight than Wilder-Ortiz, despite it being a unification.

    Wlad Povetkin.

    Also just within a month Joshua vs. Parker will be more important.

    It's certainly the biggest title fight of Wilder's career...which isn't really saying much.

    What are your factors on deciding this fight is the biggest HW fight since Lewis vs Klitschko?

    I just base it off of the number 2 and 3 guys facing off who happen to be undefeated and ko artists. Also one is American and its been quite a few years since we've seen that. Its just an opinion that I tend to agree with. Now on a global scale Joshua-Parker may be of more importance but this is a big one in its own right. I think you guys have a problem with wilder being in the equation.

    Honestly I think if it was Joshua-ortiz you guys might be singing a different tune.
