    Whyte got into world ranking by losing to Joshua in 2014 maybe early 2015 if you boxrec it but y'all know that fight. He got ranked 15 by the WBC.

    Ortiz got into word ranks by picking up a letter belt that guarantees world rank. He was ranked like 8 by 2011.

    So when you're looking at the end of their careers where they're fighting the caliber of guys y'all usually call bums with one blanket equalizing statement consider the caliber of said bums.

    I don't mean to be a dick to the fighters Whyte's beaten, but they're mostly useless. His whole career is based on riding Joshua's coattails.

    Get's KO'd by Josh and gets ranked. Then he finally steps up his caliber of journeymen to around the level Ortiz was fighting back in 2011 and pick himself up a letter belt that actually guarantees him something and moves up rank. Then he fights a guy significantly ranked below him, blows that fat no-hoper out, and now he's basically Ortiz?

    Whyte just got to a place that King Kong has been at for four or five years. By 2014 when Whyte was just getting ranked 15 in the WBC Ortiz was up to 1 or 2 in the WBA.

    Let's give Dillian sometime to prove he can maintain position as well as Kong has.

    Did you think Ortiz looked a hard puncher against Scott and Whyte against Brown?

    Whyte has a better win than ortiz when he beat Brown. Whyte also holds wins over Helenius and Chisora.
    I would say resume wise and considering Dillian has had less fights that they are similar with Whyte holding the better singular win

    Punch stats are highly unreliable!
