I'm confident in saying Wlad would have beat Ortiz and AJ would have annihilated Wilder (unless he got caught whilst finishing him).

Wilder spent most of the Ortiz fight with his right hand cocked, he was controlled with nothing more than a methodical punch output which dropped to virtual zero after round 6? 7?. Ortiz clearly punched himself out, Wilder didn't do anything to turn the fight around.

AJ was outboxing Wlad before he ran into a brick wall but then resumed outboxing him.

Wlad-Ortiz would be a nice boring slow paced boxing match which ultimately the longer, rangier, fitter, younger man would win 10 out of 10.
