Floyd Mayweather Senior Makes Odd Claim Following Wilder vs Ortiz 2

Most people seem to be in agreement that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder could be one of the most vicious punchers ever seen in the sport of boxing.

A bit of a bizarre claim but hey, that’s the way he saw it.

As for Wilder, he now moves on to a mouth watering heavyweight bonanza in February against Tyson Fury.
