For me all those Americans like Stiverne, Malik Scott, and Ortiz from Cuba are actually not that good at all, they just haven't fought Europeans or Russians out of the top 30 yet. I expect Ortiz to lose his next fight actually against an american who did fight someone from out of Europe.Chepppaaa wrote: parker is tough, solid well rounded heavyweight. but ortiz, that man can bang, the most underrated heavyweight right now, but he is arguably #1. big time power, solid defence, great technician for a heavyweight and judging from his neck, he can take a punch.
I expect AJ to take over the heavyweight division in the coming few years, he's so good in defending, he hasn't been hitted at all in most of his fights, even the close range fights he had.
