    They wont even admit that Rigo moved 2 divisions up and Loma is way bigger than him at any weight , let alone that he was inactive and getting old.

    40 or 50 years old and even with high blood pressure Ortiz is dangerous for everyone at HW and Joshua avoided him for whatever reasons.

    Tha same number as those who know 40something Luis Ortiz achieved nothing in his division, then now admit that Rigo was an established elite at 37

    I'm not really certain what the point of any of this actually is. Rigo was already offered the fight several years ago at a catchweight, his highest or 2nd highest paycheck of his career, and in addition, 500k to the winner of the original offer of Rigo vs Loma. He turned it down.

    Are you saying that Rigo was past his prime and looking over the hill for several years and not facing any top comp like Ortiz has been for the past several years? Look, I used to be a huge Ortiz fan but he's far past it now and with health concerns. If this match happened with the 2012-2015 Ortiz LOL Wilder would be on the mat drooling and flopping around like a fish.

    Ortiz isn’t a spring chicken but also isn’t a slouch, was still going strong, and was a solid win. But I don’t like that extra bit of time Wilder got when he was still on weak legs. And the vast majority would agree he was out boxing Wilder and winning the fight before getting caught.


    Rigo same thing as far as age and was still fighting as well as ever but Loma dominated him from start to finish. And Loma didn’t “Drag” him up two divisions. Rigo trolled and talked his way into the fight and got more than he bargained for.


    Both solid wins.

    Deontay took his life in his hands fighting a guy with that high blood pressure - had he cut Luis he would of got sprayed across the ring by the force.
