I voted for Joshua in this particular instance because if you looked at Ortiz at the Wilder fight he wasn’t in shape. I don’t think a 5 week camp would’ve been good enough for Ortiz to pull off the win.
It was Ruiz's fast hands that won him the fight. Ortiz would have got pummelled.
You think Eddie Hearn is kicking himself for not paying the asking price
AJ wouldn't be meme if he was knocked the **** out by Ortiz imho
Depends on if he beats Wilder or not.
I believe he would have beaten Joshua.
If he somehow beats Wilder, the Ruiz/Joshua fight is still in front of him.
Ortiz wouldn't have been able to pass a test. It was nothing to do with the purse.
That's probably the reason. Ortiz got the offer on short notice, he probably needs to know the date of a fight far in advance so he can be clean by the time he needs to take the test.
I don't really know what his reason were so I can't say. Easy to look back in hindsight say, "He blew an easy chance to be HW of the world" but we don't know what money was being negotiated by each side, etc. 20/20 hindsight you know...
