Who will fight the old, coming off a KO loss Ortiz?

[Redd Foxx]

Though he just got finished, I think his stock actually went up. People now realize he doesn't fight like an old man, has heavy hands, and ate a lot of bombs before going down. I think he's going to give anyone in the division trouble and guys like Whyte, Parker, Fury, etc will want nothing to do with him.

[Mammoth]

No one. His career is essentially done now that he has lost. He is a threat to anybody but the upper level contenders now have an inbuilt excuse not to fight him. He is in a position where his price point is too high to start fighting second tier opponents so he really has nowhere to go.

You're saying nobody's going to fight an eliminator against him?

Tyson Fury

He's fighting Parker.

Really? Interesting.

Just yesterday I read on ************ that Ortiz-Whyte might happen on July 28th for WBC eliminator.

The Sun also posted on it.

But it seems you are correct about Parker. Things changed fast...

Big Baby!

He is set up nicely for IBF or WBO eliminator no point in him taking the fight

Things changed really fast. I was surprised since I thought Parker was going to fight Jennings.

Absolutely. I think it's a toss up between him and Povetkin for third best heavyweight.

Agreed. And, with as close as he came to beating Wilder, I would not put it past him to become the #1 guy if it weren't for the two things against him;
-No one wants to fight him.
-Time waits for no man.

Those two are a terrible combination and have been his bane.

If that's how you want to phrase it. There are no real eliminators anyways...it's all paper talk. Until the money fight happens...or one of them loses...nobody is getting stripped. So Ortiz won't be getting a second shot no matter how many eliminators they speculate about...and nobody who has a shot is going to give up their position by fighting high risk Ortiz for little money.

Maybe Kownacki. Del Boy would fight him if the money's right, Takam would probably fight him as well
