Comments Thread For: Otto Wallin on Fighting Anthony Joshua: I Think I Deserve That Fight

[MastaBlasta]

Wallin shpuld fight someone up and coming (like he wants to be) .... someone like Frank Sanchez, who would take that fight immediately.

Aj should fight Dubois, try to quickly get a title again. Same for Deontay (if Deontay is able to take head shots ... I'm not sure he is ready to) and for the same reason, to quickly get a title to go forward with. Not saying Dubois goes easily to either figter .... it will be a championship fight. If either guy can't beat Dubois then it's time to jon the second tier. As for Dubois, if he beats AJ or Wilder he will have properly arrived to hold that title he got. It would give him and that title some much needed legitimacy.

Come to think of it, Wallin should be following Dubois around too, like Briggs stalked Klitchsko ... LoL ... trying to anger Dubois into a fight. Seems Dubois has lost his urgency to fight since getting that title .... someone needs to go make him fight for it. That's your Cue Wallin ..... or go badmouth Frank Sanchez, LoL.

He fought 2 trialhorses this past year, won a 12 round decision over Breazeale & beat Kauffman by injury stoppage. It’s not like he has been some destructive force. He is a big southpaw who can box. He doesn’t blow guys out. He is a low reward opponent who brings nothing to the table. He needs a promoter with a tv deal, influence & money to blow…

He’s the only boxer I’ve ever seen RUFF up Fury. He can whip any top 3 boxer out there if they have the balls.

He cut him but lost almost every round. Not sure that is roughing him up. I saw Fury cruise to a wide points decision after the cut.

Rewatch the fight without the volume up and see how ruff of a fight it was for Fury. Fury was SUPPOSE TO WIN. It didn’t look like a tune up fight, WHICH IT WAS. No one wants to fight Wallin or that fat, old Cuban (Ortiz) for a REASON.

Joshua ain't fighting Wallin. He will be protected for the rest of his career.

[Tecnoworld]

Nobody's fighting wallin for a reason. He's technically good, and he's big. He can last 12.

Well he should have thought about that before becoming the heavyweight boogeyman!
Yes he took his shot at Fury and it made him notable and feared in the heavyweight division but he lost and it cost him what?
A shot at the WBC belt and massive paydays from Whyte and now AJ?

Really sucks to see a good fighter get freezed out. I think the only top fighter with the balls to fight Wallin is Joyce.

No not really. The first couple of rounds were competitive and close because Fury was trying to box so many of Fury's punches were little taps or blocked by Wallin. However, once the cut happened and Fury got rough he was ragdolling Wallin across the ring. It was only until the 12th round after Fury was gassed from the loss of blood and brawling for 6 rounds that Wallin was able to make a comeback. So Wallin had one good round. Half the rounds were obviously Fury's and the rest were close.

Otto "the Ripper" Wallin is out for blood. If AJ won't give him a shot, how about Sanchez!

This is it right here. Too much risk and not enough reward. His televised fights are on other promoters (PBC, DAZN, etc) undercards.

His only other shot is to stay active and move up the rankings fighting nondescript opposition but I don't think Salita has the resources to do even that.
