Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz To Andy Ruiz: You Said You're Not Ready To Fight Me, But You're Ready For Joshua?

[Greenfield02]

Ok, right after the Arreola fight Ruiz said he was willing to take on Ortiz next, that was the plan, but you know, this little thing happened where the Fury, Joshua fight fell through and an opportunity came up, let me think for Ruiz, I could fight Ortiz and gain nothing or Fight Joshua and gain everything. Pretty simple decision, no hard feelings Ortiz, just business....

The nerve of this guy. Is he kidding? Ruiz stepped up to the plate and fought AJ when you wouldn't and defeated him. Do you think he will pass up life changing money and three title belts to fight you; Who doesn't bring anything to the bargaining table? What the Hell planet is Luis Ortiz living on?

Ortiz asking this question is like the fat chick asking why she got dumped for the hot girl with the big tits.

That's very true and nice Quote!

Ruiz vs Ortiz is a good fight. I like it on the undercard of Spence-Pacquiao or on free tv. PBC should be able to get this done fairly quickly

That would be a good idea, but I doubt that'll happen.

If Ruiz vs Ortiz gets signed, it'll likely headline its own PPV.

I think it would be a good fight. Who else is andy gonna fight next? Wait for what happens after wilder, fury, aj, usyk? I understand andy fighting ortiz is a step backwards. Maybe that's what andy needs is another fight like ortiz to get this game back before stepping in with the other big dogs? It makes more sense for andy to fight whyte but whyte has been more active. Plus i doubt whyte would fight ruiz. I like ortiz i wish he wasn't as old as he is. He'd def be done of the top contenders if he wasn't.

Can you blame him for wanting to cash in on another potential lottery ticket though? I can't. After all, Eddie Hearn did mention four different options for AJ since the Joshua/Fury fall out and Andy Ruiz was the first name he mentioned. Andy Ruiz fighting Anthony Joshua for the third time would be any fighter's dream; Money, belts, sponsorships etc.

They all want the big payday, and refuse to fight each other.
These are clowns, so I can't blame them. Hearn is to blame.
Now they think every fight should be worth gazillions of money.
What a terrible sport this is.

He had signed a contract to fight a rematch with Deontay Wilder for more money than the Joshua fight offered.

But when AJ called Ortiz for a fight he said he wasn't ready, and Ruiz stepped in and won. I was shocked he did not take the AJ fight...he lost some status with that move to me. Followed that up by not doing much against Wilder who was also not doing much. Then against Flores, he really didn't do anything.

It's a nice fight that I'd watch but it seems like Ruiz can wait to see if Wilder wins against Fury, or if AJ call again soon (potentially sidestepping usyk)

He had already signed a contract to fight Wilder for more money than the Joshua fight offered.

Well if it's true, then I can't blame him. However, the only problem I have with that scenario is there is no way of proving it. No one knows what his purse split for the Wilder rematch was. Perhaps The Nevada State Athletic Commission have a record of it or something but we simply do not know.
