37 years old , wins over an ancient Thompson, and a so so Jennings and now facing past it Malik Scott Whoop De Doo!
He's the guy no one wants to fight. I'd pick him over Wilder and Fury for sure. He also has the promotional connections to fight for a title.
Yeah, don't get the excitement. Signs a new promotional contract and is matched with a very poor fighter who sometimes wears a bag on his head to the weigh in.
Since no one ranked will fight him, he took Scott to keep busy. Make sense? With Oritz, it's not just who he beat, it's how conceivably he beat them. Ortiz is ranked #1 by the WBA, and has the right promoter now. He's a mandatory waiting to happen. Quick prediction, Ortiz fights for the WBA championship and wins vs. Oquendo, Ustinov...one of those types, and Joshua and Wlad fight for the other belt ( IBF or WBO ). His current promoter who also has Joshua is in a positon to clean up provided Joshua wins.
