If Joshua-Wilder doesn't happen next, Ortiz deserves a rematch.

[Sentient A.I.]

Wilder would win again. Ortiz doesn't have the necessary stamina, that's why Wilder won.

He was winning the fight and would have had Wilder out if he had a few more seconds after he hurt him. It was a good fight and everyone should welcome a rematch.

You come across as a very bitter and jealous boxing fan. Get over it; Ortiz lost! Until the Wilder/Joshua bout is made, then let AJ step into the ring and fight Luis Ortiz now in order to prove his mettle.

I think on reflection this opens up more fight opportunities. If Joshua wilder doesn’t happen immediatly there is quite legitimate fights to be had including Ortiz now elsewhere. In addition with Ortiz out boxing him and getting him rocked it will make any fight against a whyte or phlegm, etc much More interesting. I think I’ve altered my view a little bit and would quite like these fights ton happen in summer (assuming Joshua beats Parker):

Us:
Joshua vs Ortiz
Miller vs Povetkin(undercard)

Uk:
Wilder vs Whyte/Pulev

Other contenders to throw in the mix include brezeale, haye (if beats bellew), fury

Joshua fighting Ortiz coming off a loss makes no sense. He wasn't the one that just struggled with the guy.

Wilder slated the beast that AJ wanted no part of. Everyone should welcome AJ vs. Ortiz if Joshua is still running from Deontay.

It makes a lot of sense, but I think Ortiz may not have the hunger any more after that fight. He's old as ****, gave it his all and came up just short but took a bad beating in the process. I just don't see him having the fire to do it for 12 rounds the next time and Wilder would be more comfortable in a rematch and take Ortiz out earlier imo. I still want to see Wilder vs Whyte in the UK in the Summer next, really build the hype up towards the Joshua/Wilder mega-fight
