    Why aint top heavy weights fight each other

    looked on box rec....joshua, ortiz, wilder none or these top heavy weights have any fights booked,,,,joe louis will be turning in his grave...the great joe louis fought all the time he was the last and only, true heavy weight champion, he fought all the time and stayed on top for 11 years.

    Everything was looking beautiful last year but the pool narrowed pretty quickly. Povetkin is a multi-time cheat. Haye is done. Wlad will probably be done by year's end. Fury is done. Ortiz is getting over the hill and no one wants to fight him (except maybe Wilder). No one will fight Wilder except Ortiz.
    I hope things start looking up again.

      Its gotten pretty bad tbh. still cant believe we're getting that abysmal whyte-grant fight.

      we already had the joshua-klitchko classic in april and We'll probably get the rematch later this year.l. if not we'll get joshua-pulev which isnt too bad either.

      fingers crossed we get wilder-ortiz as well that would be amazing.

      parker-fury and miller-washington are pretty solid fights too so hopefully the winners get a crack at some of the other top names

          joshua and wlad fought and will fight again. wilders a ***** who wont fight anyone. ortiz is looking old, think he might have lied about his official age cause he looked like a grandad in the interview i watched. talent is coming up, got the prodigy daniel dubois alongside the impressive amateur joe joyce who has just turned pro. Hughie fury is just about to become a world champion soon too which could set up a huge domestic clash with joshua down the line.

            Joe Louis is very hard to live up to. Champions like Louis and Hagler set a very high standard. Hardly any champions today fight more than twice a year and rarely do they fight a top 5 contender. Usually they fight a guy ranked 10th or 15th. This way they keep their title a long time. AJ defended his title against high ranked Wlad and Wilder and Ortiz are trying to fight each other some of the heavyweights aren't so bad now. Wilder was a cherry picker for a long time but he really is trying to fight Ortiz and Ortiz is a worthy challenger. Stiverne is Wilder's mandatory and he won't step aside so Wilder must fight him or lose his title. They didn't have the alphabet groups and network feuds when Louis was champ.

              Probably could close the thread here - you've nailed it, yet again.

                This is ridiculous. We got about 4-5 top undefeated HW's. That's nonsense. Its like at Wimbledon, if Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Novack Djokovic etc. refused to play each other and each just claimed that they're the best.

                Let's get it on. Lets all mix it up and find out who is the best. It'd be like in baseball, or football, if the Winners of each division refused to play each other in the playoffs. Patriots Tell Broncos, no thanks, you're king of your division, we're king of ours, no need to play against each other. WTF?
