ANTHONY JOSHUA could have to face Luis Ortiz early next year despite the Cuban boxer testing positive for banned substances last month. IBF, IBO and WBA heavyweight champion Joshua defends his titles against Bulgarian challenger Kubrat Pulev on October 28 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. But Ortiz could retain the mandatory challenger position for the British star's WBA title despite a failed drugs test. Click Here To Read More]
I hope so. I still wana see Ortiz against a titlist. All those Wilder fans who were like “Give Wilder props! He’s fighting the boogeyman of the division” now they’ll say AJ has fought 2 old men.. They’ll never give him credit.
A lot of posters on here don't and also do not make the effort to research. You can't say that AJ is a cheat when he is going through the same testing protocol as Wilder.
VADA does testing for multiple boxers that are registered for competing in different organizations, including the WBC and WBA.
I wouldnt say its even just 4 posters tbh based on some of the recent wilder vs Joshua threads I have been reading.
Seeing a lot of people calling Joshua a roided cheat, coward and generally playing down what he has done so far. That guy I quoted hates British fighters and for the most part anyone who is not from the US, he's not the only one though
There are definitely more people who are starting to see the random reasoning coming from the Joshua camp. Regardless of how we feel about their ability, nobody likes ducking. We just want the good fights and that's the only one that matters right now. Unless Fury loses 150lbs and stops with the white stuff, its the only fight anybody really cares about.
With both fighting mandatories now, there's no reason why we can't get the fight early in 2018. Hearn has been talking about Parker, Haye, and Ortiz (again). Any reasonable fan can see none of those fights should come before Wilder, if AJ was truly interested in fighting the best.
AJ & Ortiz are both juicing so this makes perfect sense
Beyonce Alabama Bum collector is the worst HE Champion in living memory. Not 1 Top 10 fight in 10yrs of boxing and 40 fights. The WBC Protection program and Al Haymon have brought shame to all American HW Boxing having this man represent you as a Champion and the very same man calling out other American Champions that paved the way, legends like Tyson and Ali saying their records are poor.
He is conman and I think American fans can see that hence no PPV. AJ is happy to clean out the division while Beyonce needs to be cleaned out by an American for prides sack. End this farce it's criminal and not funny anymore.

More and more people have begun to see the truth that Ive preaching long before they got on the Deontay bandwagon ; at first the forum mocked and abused me but now I'm labeled a prophet -- I have delivered the message Deontay will baptized Joshua in Vegas, so it is written so it shall be done.
That's one of the 4 posters I mentioned in my post lol

You cant say its bogus when you literally have idiots like this on the same thread playing down Ortiz
That's one of the 4 posters I mentioned in my post lol
As someone who passionately roots for both and can't wait to see them clash, I have to say that your post is bogus
A.J fanboys celebrating that Anthony gets to hide behind another ma, ma mandatory m8! 2020 doe! King-Dung is a prime animal! he a better win than Deontay doe.

Yep. There were guys on here before saying that a win against Ortiz would make wilders resumè greater than wladimir klitchko but when josh knocks him out he'll be another old man.
Wilder fans are the biggest hypocrites on here. These are the same guys that can understand why tank doesn't fight loma and advocated canelo taking long to fight ggg as he's the a side but don't want to hear Josh's argument that wilder turned pro the year before he'd even laced up a pair of gloves so he wants to take his time with fight.
Personally I think it should happen in the summer of next year. I think he wants to build it so it's a ppv fight in America but wilder won't be big enough to carry a ppv for years if ever. Aj still has plenty of big fights on the horizon without wilder

Battle of the Juicers. Ortiz is probably more loyal to the syringe than Joshua though. While Joshua is out womanizing, getting drunk and high on weed and missing cycles Ortiz is staying dedicated to his craft never missing roid cycles. This match will be a toss up.

Most Wilder fans acknowledge AJ as a solid foe and champ. It's the AJ supporters (brits) and closet US racists (calling him a "thug" and various puesdo-animal names). Who say completely silly things about Wilder. He's the most unfairly ridiculed fighter in all of boxing imo. (And this is coming from someone who thinks his fundamentals are lacking. But he has some amazing athletic ability and all-time power.)
There are like three posters who troll AJ supporters and Wilder critiques, but I could literally name all three or four of them in this post lol
Every body else just wants to see good fights. Wilder trying to fight Ortiz was a good look for boxing. But it seems like everybody is steering clear of him for some reason. Parker, AJ, and now Ortiz have all either said or done things that signal he's not on the immediate wish list.
That's my objective view of this mess. Wilder can't be blamed for the last few months of randomness. Hopefully 2018 ends with an undisputed unified champion.
