What about AJ vs Luis Ortiz or Andy Ruiz?

[NihonJim]

Luis has said he's not done, and AJ has unfinished business with Ruiz.

AJ is not going to fight Bakole or Zhang, the best we can hope for is him vs another has been.

AJ vs Ortiz would be funny as hell.

[Marchegiano]

I wouldn't mind either tbh

[MulaKO]

What about they clear the path for young talent
I wouldn’t mind that

- - Luis and Ortiz are done as in stick in the fork along with Deyonce. AJ could retire tomorrow as one of the best Hvys ever who invigorated the corrupt Boxing Divisions at least temporarily.

Now the flagship Hvy division is back to being dominated by the Ks and Usyk with only the briefest hope that AJ brought.

Joshua’s future is retirement, or is filled with more knockout losses, I'm afraid. He's got plenty of abilities; but his chin is not world class, and never was. The plight of the muscle man. Ortiz would have ended his first title reign. Ruiz did.

Yeah it's unfortunate, if AJ had a decent chin he'd be twice the fighter he is, but it's always been shaky and he and his team have known that since the early days when all the sparring rumours were out there which now seem very likely to have been true.

Once that weakness has been exposed, opponents all come with more ambition and less trepidation, this era is full of ****ers as well.

AJ would have probably done better in the Klitschko era when condenders were the likes of John Ruiz, Chagaev, Pulev, Eddie chambers etc boxer types.

In a division full of big sluggers, it's bad luck for Joshua.
