    1) Which fighter has the better resume?

    2) Who would win in a head to head battle today?

    3) Who is the Better Fighter Overall? (H2H, Legacy, etc)

    Please leave Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder out of it. I want to focus on the division and take a look at it's depth. Judge these fighters on their own merits not on an agenda.

    I’m a massive AJ fan but in reality Parker is pony. Wilder will have the better win under his belt with Ortiz than AJ beating the pudding.

    I've never thought Ortiz was the monster he was made out to be but l still think he beats Parker.

    Only advantage Parker has is speed. I don't see Parker winning this fight. If I put him over Ortiz that means he's top 3 fighter.

    I don't have him over Povetkin either so no...there's a few guys in front of him right now, Ortiz just narrowly almost had Wilder out of there....

    Parker has no actual signature performance yet, he has controversial ones. If he pushes Joshua and wins some rounds then that's something to reevaluate.

    This. Parker has hand speed and a solid chin, but his stopping power would let him down against Ortiz. Ortiz held back from using uppercuts and powershots, since he was weary of Wilder's power. Parker doesn't have the power to keep Ortiz that honest and would destroyed on the inside.

    Parker has fast hands and a good chin.
    King Kong is a very hard hitter and is very tricky to fight since he's not only a southpaw but the best counter punching heavyweight there currently is, Ortiz is a master at setting traps.

    I don' see Parker knocking Ortiz out but i do see Parker getting caught by a combo that sends him to floor and out of the fight

    Ortiz also takes roids and has a sick daughter he has to provide for, so there' some other advantages king kong brings to the table.

    My list of best heavys is
    1. Wilder
    2. King Kong
    3. Parker
    4. Povetkin
    5. Anthony

    Ortiz likely beats Parker, he was 50/50 from beating Wilder and he'd also give AJ huge issues. On another night Wilder could have lost that fight.

    By resume, Parker is ahead. Everything else? Ortiz.

    Ortiz is the more skilled and powerful fighter. His counter punching style is a tough nut to crack for just about anyone. Wilder didn't really solve it so much as his right hand is a nuclear weapon able to wipe everything else that happened previously in a fight off the map. Parker isn't nearly as blessed. Ortiz would most likely outbox him and possibly even stop him.

    Parker would beat Ortiz when he punch himself out due to stamina issues and show "true heart".

    It's an excellent fight, but I have to lean Ortiz (assuming we are talking about the Ortiz who fought Wilder).
