Comments Thread For: Wilder Promoter on Luis Ortiz: Fighters With PED History Ruled Out

[Kigali]

In other words; anyone who poses a threat is ruled out..so disapointed in wilder really liked the guy

Anyone who is juicing...makes sense to me.

"Deontay will have had a full training camp and whomever the opponent is will be coming in with only a month's preparation putting him (the opponent) at a severe disadvantage, so we will not be taking any risks."

Wilder is coming back from broken hand along with broken metal pins in the hand, and a torn bicept, I think he can be forgiven for not wanting to fight a ped cheat on his first fight back. At the very least he would need to know for sure that his hand will hold up on his return before facing ped cheats, on a month's notice no less.

Ortiz looked like **** against Wilder KO victim Malik Scott.

Pops doesn't have much time left.

Everyone and their mother know's that Scott took a dive. Whether that's because he's a ***** or was paid off, I don't know and I don't care.

If they find a bum who's been juicing then that's gonna be ok...that's how it works man

I wouldn't fight a known ped user on a months notice, more then likely will get popped again

Ortiz tested positive for the anabolic steroid Nandrolone following a September 11 knockout victory over Lateef Kayode in Las Vegas. He was suspended, fined and had the result of the fight changed to a no contest by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

I think the author could have mention it was Sept 11 2014.

This is a poor excuse for a duck...Ortiz has been enrolled in Vada testing for some time now and has not failed a test since. Wilder would dare face Ortiz.

Pops Ortiz looked like crap against Malik Scott...a guy Wilder easily destroyed.

Wilder is not ducking that old dude.

Szpilka took a dive too.

Your argument only stands if a person tests positive currently. What you're supplying is speculation and judgement (meaning Ortiz is currently clean via VADA--look at their site), none of which is currently factual for said "would be" opponents (they'll consider Wach but not Ortiz?). He broke his hand against a boxer that was ranked 54th in the world then wants to come back and expect the public to watch another fighter who's not ranked in the top 15 fight for the 5th fight in a row? (was someone a 12 or 14 in there? Forgive me, if so). For the most "prestigious belt"--and I do use quotes on that, because he's been well protected for far too long regardless of a setback or two, he shouldn't be too uptight on a guy taking a fight on a month's notice with drug testing. Let's look at Wladimir Klitschko...an older fighter..what--41? Will be out of the ring 17 months by the time he fights a fresh Anthony Joshua. You have to see the demarcation between a champion, and a guy like Wilder. I'm not saying he's not going to be good, but he's wasting a lot of prime years being protected. He gets no respect, because we no nothing about him.
