Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Recovered From Surgery, Would Like To Face Joshua Next

[Boxing-1013]

Was it hip and knee, or cataract?

Would be mismanagement to have Joshua face a threat. He’s in decline and can be sparked out by any HW with handspeed and power. Eddie is drunk with ego but he’s not an idiot. Knows times up with his meal ticket

Dear Mr Haymon.

I know we're not allowed to fight Joshua, but as I'm at the end of my career, and no spring chicken anymore, I wonder if you'd permit me to fight him. I'm still looking for a career high payday, that I would have had before, but you said no, and let the new guy have it instead. I was bitterly disappointed then, but I'm slowly coming to terms with it. If you could see your way clear to authorize this I'd be eternally grateful.

Yours
sincerely
Luis Ortiz.

Let Eddie Hearn to allow AJ to fight him next. That would be a good scrap!

In what world? Ortiz is so old & shot his leg's are so gone he can't even take a Martin jab.
4 out of Ajs 6 opponents before Usyk were also 38-41 and shot with only 4 or 5 good rounds in them.
No coincidence the last 2 he boxed of his own generation both beat him xD

Never understood the Ortiz hype from the start. He was a typical B-rate fighter who was propped up by the PBC marketing machine in order to make him appear to be a competitive opponent for Wilder. I don't see one impressive win on his resume.

problem with Joshua is he is even at risk to lose to an ham and egger. Safe bet would be to let Juice sit on the shelf until Usyk is available smh

Realist comment here. You hit the nail right on the head

That's been true his whole career but AJ's only been stopped once. I think Oritz Vs Joshua is a good fight in prep for Usyk. Got to take risks in this game. No fight is without risk. Ortiz is a bit overrated too. Who has he beaten? Good HW but not as good as people say.

Ortiz looks finished to me. Wouldn’t begrudge him a cash out though. Was definitely an avoided fighter during his peak years.

Bullshit. Joe Louis never avoided anybody.

Ortiz is fighting Ruiz probably .

And I bet if the Zhang vs Hrgovic fight fell through Ortiz would re injure himself .

You go figure! Is there any money to be made in a fight with Hrgovic? I was just curious and wanted to know. The cruel reality is that Hrgovic is coming to the bargaining table empty handed and with no bargaining chips.

He has nothing that any top contender or title holder wants. Boxing is not called Prizefighting for nothing. He's got nothing to negotiate with.Tell his promoter to find $20M and I would guarantee you there would be a long list of contenders who will be just chomping at the bit to fight him.
