Comments Thread For: Wilder: Gerald Washington 'Definitely Not' Ready for This Fight

He does not have any promotional issues, he is promoted by Eddie Hearn of Matchroom boxing.

I have no doubts that Hearn would make the fight if it was presented. He's done business with Haymon on other occasions, Hearn would not mind sending Ortiz to get the job done on Wilder.

Everyone in boxing has done business with Al Haymon at some point.

So again I ask you, WHAT PROMOTIONAL ISSUES?????

I wasn't aware that Ortiz signed with Hearn. I do know that Ortiz' promoter didn't put a bid in for his last fight.

expecting another malik scott gold medal dive in this.

Then why fight him? Why doesn't he just fight fighters that are ready?

He can add to his highlight reel, get a devastating KO with people watching, this'll help him maximize his earnings. He's coming back from an injury and he can't really get one of the big fights right now so he's just playing the game.

Ok but what about the judges? its in Birmingham, Alabama

They can't rob it if Washington wins 120-108 which imo I think he could
