    He was very close to finishing Wilder, he's a good counter puncher. Some guys might take a pass instead, especially if they have their eyes set on the big prize and don't want any bumps in the road.

    I'd like to see him and Povetkin fight.
    True that, I expect Povetkin to beat Price so we ll see what he does after.

You can see his ring iq is high for a heavy, he gave a few different looks at certain point of the fight. I also loved the way he would get on his toes and gives us a reminicisent Ali impression, circling and extending his jab to reach his opponent. I caught myself smiling every time he tried that.
      Ortiz is a quality fighter, he’s certainly the most skilled HW in the game atm. However, he’s nearly 40, doesn’t draw and even at his age is still a very dangerous fight for anyone in the division. So I can’t see anyone really wanting fight Luis Ortiz, especially any of the bigger names, he’s unfortunately too high risk and low reward.

          Povetkin is a Joshua mandatory .

          Ortiz will fight Joshua in 2019 or 2020 for the WBC and unified titles .

            i think hes not gonna do very well. he looked old and slow in the last few years and i thought he looked terrible against wilder, know im in the minority thinking that but neither guy covered themself in glory. im not convinced hes gonna be the 'best of the rest'.

              I was impressed that he put up a decent showing against Wilder, but I felt through the bout that his best days are behind him. His jab and movement was good but the speed wasn't there, you could just envision him 5-10 years younger and he would have been a force. Technically better than many HW's but I think that was his big payday.
