Lets get 1 thing straight. The winner of Wilder v Ortiz becomes the #2 heavyweight!

Look, you clearly don't know a lot about heavyweight history.

*Jack Johnson was off TWO YEARS between the Jim Jeffries fight and the Fireman Jim Flynn fight.

*Jess Willard was off THREE AND A HALF YEARS between the Frank Moran fight and the Jack Dempsey defense.

*Jack Dempsey was off THREE YEARS between the Luis Firpo fight and the Gene Tunney fight.

*Jim Braddock was off TWO YEARS between winning the title against Max Baer and his first defense against Joe Louis.

*Joe Louis was off FOUR YEARS between the Abe Simon rematch and the Billy Conn rematch.

Tyson Fury is coming back this year after being off two years. In the history of the division, that's no big deal. It's only a big deal now because there are orgs all over the place trying to hand out belts.

Hell, one belt Joshua has (the IBF) was stripped from Fury within days of him winning it.

Tyson Fury is the champ until someone beats him.

Still less accomplished and impressive than Povetkin, regardless of how awesome either looks tonight.

 

even with a victory over Ortiz i can't put a guy top 2 that Dustin Nichol's smashed into the ropes with a jab.
