Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ortiz, Jacobs, Lipinets Showtime Tripleheader in Play

[Dr.Cool]

If Haymon is smart he'll pair up Jacobs against Charlo. Canelo fighting Golovkin right now so Jacobs and Charlo also need a big fight to put pressure on the winner of Canelo/Golovkin and other champions (Saunders) to fight em.

Fans will definitely demand the winner of that bout to fight one of the champions, or rather, will demand one of the champions fight the winner of Jacobs/Charlo.

But I think Jacobs won't want to fight another power puncher so soon after Golovkin, especailly one as just as big as he is but more vicious, with a much better chin too.

Charlo is already mandatory for one of G's belts, so the winner will be ordered to face him next. If that happens, Jacobs would be a perfect opponent after that for Charlo. Doesn't matter if Charlo wins or loses, if he wins, it would obviously make all kinds of sense, but even if he lost to Canelo or G, then a Charlo-Jacobs winner could get another title shot in no time. Honestly, I think all four- G, Canelo, Charlo, and Jacobs- will all fight each other eventually. Should be some great fights.

good fight, fair play to wilder for stepping up. Dont think ortiz is amazing but neither are 99 percent of the heavyweights. I dont rate wilder at all so good chance ortiz could spark him.

I can't believe what I'm reading. Wilder is actually going to fight a ranked, recognized HW? I won't fully believe it until they both step in the ring.

The MW division is red-hot ATM. So many possibilities for exciting match-ups, it should be awarded 'division of the year.'

Im not buying into this until its official

Ortiz going to fight Wilder in November and discard a guaranteed shot at Joshua after Pulev for huge pay day? Hes not only risking losing but whos to say Wilder doesnt (INJURE )himself and pulls out ?Wilder himself all sudden taking on second biggest threat for him and risking Joshua super fight which is the fight that he was seeking with minimal risk in between ?

Sounds far fetched tbh ,and IF it does a Wilder loss is going to be the ultimate disaster in what has been a lack luster career so far which is why its just a bad idea all together a Joshua vs Wilder fight much more appealing .

Didn't Stievern say that he would absolutely not allow Wilder vs Ortiz to go on and didn't care about no step aside fee??

That's what anybody would say if they wanted to maximize the amount they would receive for stepping aside.

Wilder grew some balls. Finally lets see what you are made of "champ"

He flew to Russia to face Povetkin in enemy territory when he could have easily faced Martin instead. Nobody should ever question Wilder's "balls."

It makes more sense to wait and see what the GGG-Canelo winner does. Charlo is the mandatory so I'm pretty sure he'll want that title first and then maybe shoot for Jacobs.
