    THIS is the fight I want to see the most. Wilder will be a bombs away 2 minute fight for Joshua, but THIS fight would be a war.

      Joshua doesn't like fighting smaller guys as much as guys his own size. I do think Ortiz is not quite as good as you'd like to image he is, but he's a pretty good fighter.

        Granted, sure big promoters can work behind the scenes but I'm sure one of the reasons Ortiz signed with Haymon if to have someone who can play that "behind the scenes" game also!

          He's the mandatory so this could actually happen

            Finally watched the fight last night, Joshua gassed himself hard after the KD, and Wladimir let him off the hook after he bludgeoned Joshua down. Not sure if I am sold on Joshua yet, keen to see a unification against Parker or Wilder.

              Ortiz has way more skills and savvy than Joshua...and more than enough power and not to mention even more reach. He was the one guy Joshua did not call out...nobody at the top wants any part of him for good reason.

                This...is the fight I want to see. Ortiz is serious trouble for young Joshua. I hope Ortiz gets a legit title shot before he is eligible for social security.

                  Ortiz is right about Klitschko letting Joshua off the hook. He tried to coast to victory rather than applying pressure. Not to mention he was swinging wild after he knocked AJ down and missing everything. But give AJ credit he did what he had to do to get the W. Klitschko even at 41 was a live dog and a decade long champion

                    Who calls out their mandatory? And what do you mean no stalling anymore he's held the title for three days please tell me at what point they've stalled.

                    The wba will give him extra time as mandatory aren't enforced on super champs so unlucky mate looks like you'll have to wait a while to see your dream fight.

                    A klitchko rematch, fury, wilder and Parker all more attractive options.

                    Ortiz had his chance. Was signed by matchroom to build the aj fight and had two stinkers. If Ortiz really wants this fight labouring to a boring points win over the likes of Malik Scott isn't going to cut it anymore.

                      100% agree with this, bad stoppage imo
