    Moorer was 222bs .7.25lbs more than Wilder scaled for his last fight.

    Wilder hs fought one man of any class and was nearly out against him,there is a reason he hasn't fought the iron of the division .

    I assume you're talking about Ortiz, a 240 pound, undefeated southpaw, with a great amateur resume? Having a tough fight with him is no disgrace and beating him is impressive!

    Who is the "Iron" of the division ? A shot WK, a punchbag Lucas B or Breazele, fat Whyte who's claim to fame is getting blown out by Greenhorn AJ ? Or the Russian PED cheat ? The division sucks, period.

    IMO, Wilder is the best of the bunch because he has Ring IQ, legitimate elite power and comes to fight.

    BTW, Wilder had the flu against Ortiz, thats why he came in light, he usually is around 225 and still did not use any excuses and flat out Ko'ed Ortiz who was the big Wilder conquerer when the fight was signed and is a bum now because Wilder laid him out. Whyte is the new bogeyman now.....once he is disposed he turns automatically into a bum too.........

    Yes 32 was old for then McVey as you probably understand.
    As Harry Carpenter said... " he's won the title back...AT 32 !!! ( much emphasis) "

    Best heavy of his era by a country mile.
    Just hope he proves it before age catches him.
    He beats Joshua all ends up.
    Fury , his challenge is to get near big Fury.
    Bellew...joke fight..

    Guys like Jose Luis Garcia, Bugner, Larry Middleton, Henry Clark, and Randy Neumann could do it but there’s no way Deontay Wilder could. Right?

    Having just one class man on a resume of 40 fights,7 of them WBC defences is not impressive!

    Looks like we have a new Mendoza with us one fixated on Foreman instead of Johnson.

    Wilder's next opponent is that same Breazeale ,the guy who did not win a round against Joshua and was brutally stopped against a man having his 17th fight.Wilder is still after 40 fights an unknown quantity, simply because he has been fed a succession of fringe contenders and men who had no business challenging even for his splintered belt.Joshua has already ko'd Whyte just as he did Breazeale.
