USA vs. CUBA! This would be a perfect night for Lara vs. Andrade! "Please baby please, baby, baby, baby please!"

Props to wilder if this comes off very much doubt this fight takes place but impressive if wilder takes and wins this fight put him in number 1 pos for joshua in the fall of 2018

Its pretty sad people dont believe this fight is going to happen. People are so happy hes actually fighting someone in the top 10 lol. He should of done this ages ago.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

wilder will win the fight but what will he gain? fans? yeah. respect? yeah. bigger fight opportunities? no, because after wilder, whos already regarded by some as 1 of the most avoided fighters in the division, beats luis ortiz, who also 1 of the most avoided in the division if not more than wilder, more guys will not want to fight him.

And the guys who will want to fight him wont be belt holders. just more challengers like washington and ortiz. it'll be interesting to see what aj and hearns excuse is to not fight wilder after he beats joshuas REAL mandatory challenger.

lol! Never heard anyone mention Bumsquad and most avoided in the same sentence....his cherry-picked resume speaks for itself.

Alright Deontay, if this is true, hell yeah!!! That's how you step up.

Let's hope this fight gets made. I want Deontay to make a statement.

If this this true then props to Wilder! That's all we wanted, him to fight someone who isn't a bum! Please let this be real.

[Mitchell Kane]

Good fight.

Hope it happens.

[LacedUp]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Golden Boi here let me tell you this secret, magic trick...

IF YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO SAY YOU ONLY FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHTER ONCE THEY WERE OLD, THEN TRY FIGHTING A GOOD FiGHTER BEFORE THEY GEt OLD!

Not that complicated. If Wilder wanted to fight prime Ortiz, they he would have fought prime Ortiz two years ago, instead of waiting until Ortiz got old and looked like **** going 12 rounds with Malik Scott LOL.

You get the credit you deserve, for what you actually do. There are levels to credit. Fighting bums is one level. Then fighting a name, but passed his prime, is a higher level, but still not a legit level because they're old. Fighting a top guy who is still in his prime, that is the highest level. When Wilder actually does that, he will get credit for doing that. Don't put it on the fans for not giving him credit for something if he still isn't doing it. When he actually does it, he will get the credit, but we all know 38 years old is not prime, especially not when the performances in the ring have decreased in quality drastically before Wilder decided to fight him. Those are facts.

I agree! The HW division waited until Ortiz was old! I would assume that you don't give AJ full credit for beating a 41-yr old Wladimir Klitschko! Hopefully Wilder wins and AJ wins, so we can get a real HW title fight, the likes that haven't been seen since Bowe vs. Holyfield!

If this this true then props to Wilder! That's all we wanted, him to fight someone who isn't a bum! Please let this be real.

Exactly. I'll be rooting for Wilder, but this is a really dangerous fight to derail the Joshua-Wilder mega fight.

But if it's true then yeah respect and credit to Wilder. I just hope he can pull through against Ortiz to keep the Joshua-Wilder mega fight alive.

Siiiiiick. Josh-KlitX2 and Wilder-Ortiz in the same year. Boxing Gods I will never doubt you again..

Just imagine Wilder-Ortiz on the co main event on AJ- Vlad fight!!! Winner of Wilder-Ortiz calls out winner AJ- Vlad. This year is already the best year in boxing but damn that would be a statement.
