      He lost every round to Fury twice.

      Ortiz is winless against fighters of his caliber.

      Ruiz only beat Joshua because PBC cared so little for him they were willing to sacrifice him. He’s only been with PBC for four fights and two of them were against Joshua. He’s not following the model.

      Kownacki was knocked out by Helenius. He’s the perfect example for what I’m talking about.
      Then losing doesn’t mean they haven’t been productive and successful. Pbc contributed to that anyway you cut it.

      When everyone is bad to mediocre, you can’t really criticize the guys that are successful. Haymon did as well as he could with these guys.

      Not like anyone of them is young Tyson or the older guys a Ray Mercer.

          Fight no one until you have an amazing record.

          It seems the no ones upset the apple cart too often at heavyweight.

          Coffie just experience it and Kownacki recently experienced it. Jermaine Franklin should have gone through it but got a gift.

            The reason?

            Unlike the other weight classes, the tomato cans at heavyweight can punch.

            That means the overhyped losers that pbc builds can’t just outbox cans for 12 rounds like they do at other weights.

            The chances that they get hit are too high.

            If you disagree, name the last undefeated PBC heavyweight who has had a significant number of fights without having some underdog knock him out.

            it isnt that the tomatoe cans can punch, it's that these big guys don't carry the same bone density ration to the power they generate in a punch as the smaller guys do. at least in most cases, joe joyce is an exception.

              Its boxing, people lose. Haymon’s problem at hwt is many of them are coming in older. Frankly, almost all of them are not terribly good and, if I am correct, many seem to lack credible amateur experience so every time they fight it’s a real chance to lose.

              Should give a real fan more reason to watch.

              the memo should be 'HWs lose' and al should never have been protecting their 0s. It's like with Eddie hearn with fabio wardley, he's blatantly fixed the last 2 wardley fights, but why? to protect him, for what purpose? sooner or later he'll have to step up.

                heavyweight boxing is more about power then skill more then any other weight class.

                  At this point Ortiz's team probably has given up waiting for another multi-million dollar offer from DAZN.

                  They were happy to be given a bus conductor for his dance partner last year from Haymon, which Luis summarily KO'd
                  in just a few dance steps and in less than 2 minutes of the first round. Ortiz's team was happy.

                  The charade of showing "Luis is very much active doe, see?" is over. All they have to do now is wait for the offer from Hearn.
                  It's been almost a year now and no offer has come. Clock is ticking for Luis.

                    True. I don't think Ortiz's camp would even let him fight Arreola or Washington, let alone Martin, Breazeale, Kownacki, Ruiz, who were all available for him. Nah, they'd rather wait for Hearn's offer and meanwhile fight cab drivers while waiting. But it's been a year now and they're beginning to realize it's not coming. In sum, Camp Ortiz avoided those threatening fights themselves while waiting. It might derail their flimsy plan.

                      DAZN's spending spree is over. Money no longer grow in their trees.
                      Can't even produce a plan B for the botched Canelo/Plant unification.

                      Ortiz's team better just start calling out PBC fighters.
                      Martin, Arreola, Breazeale. Stop waiting on DAZN.
