    wilder is stepping up v a top 5 fighter in ortiz

    way later than any heavy i have ever seen to be in with a top 5 heavy 40 fights into his career but this is the fight in ortiz we will see if wilder is the real deal.

    95% of his career has been against canon fodder / ortiz is a threat.

    Not implying that it is Wilders fault, just calling out the OP! How can he criticize Wilder for who he fights, yet praises Fury, who hasn't fought in over 2 years?

    No, he'll fight at least one money fight.

    Joshua hasn't fought 1 top contender. Not one. He's a fraud who was given his felonious trinkets. Stiff ass fraud.

    His level of comp vastly outweighs Wilder's and in half the amount of time. How do you explain that one?

    Boxing forum posters who think they are experts will call Luis Ortiz a bum then the winner of Josua vs Parker will be called a bum when meeting Wilder and then Tyson Fury will be a bum. . . . .plus a lot of British fans will only be satisfied if Wilder fights the greatest heavyweight of all time . . . .David Haye.

    Look it’s not hard, name me a fighter who Wilder has fought while said fighter was actually ranked in the top 10?

    Other than Stiverne 1 for which Wilder had no choice because Stiverne was the belt holder, he hasn’t fought anyone! Forget the word ‘Elite’ Top 10 will do

    NONE!!
    ZILCH!,
    NYET!!
    ZERO!!
    NADA””

    A 41 year old Vlad almost knocked Joshua out! A 41 year old Vlad would knock Wilder out cold! A 46 year retired Vitali would knock Wilder out. There is zero excuse for Wilder not fighting a legit fighter. As far as Ortiz, he was looking pretty good years ago, that's why Wilder ran from him, but now he is a 50 year old inactive fighter on high blood pressure medicine, he is actually 48 years old, but close enough to 50 that he should not be fighting............he has zero stamina, but can punch hard, has shown a good chin, I really do not know how much is left of Ortiz, but if he is a fraction of his old self, he could knock Wilder out, however, Wilder would not fight Ortiz is he were not guaranteed a win, by hook or by crook! Ortiz was framed before, blood pressure medicine is not a PED and that was proven! It still gave Wilder more time to fight an even older Ortiz.............

    Wonder what he has on Oscar and/or the Ring magazine staff that they let him keep that belt? Are they going to wait until he has violated every single one of their rules before they strip him?

    I think It's all about the $. Everyone and their mama knows a fight between Fury and AJ or Wilder would be huge, especially with AJ. That's the only reason I can think of as to why he hasn't been stripped yet. Personally I don't think he will ever return.
