Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: Dillian Whyte Will Knock Joseph Parker Out!

[JWHardin]

They are portraying Whyte as fearless? I wish Whyte would explain why he didn't want to fight Luis Ortiz? Next to Wilder and Joshua, he is the next most dangerous boxer at Heavy weight.

I guess the same question could be asked of AJ. Why not fight Ortiz to help build the Wilder fight? He could fight two 40yr olds in a row before Wilder. (Povetkin and Ortiz)

“Hey Illmatic,
Get off that computer and come back to bed” (Deontay Wilders voice)

Post of the year !

I think i'll actually do one of these ! lol

Lots of people saying Parker on points, he probably has to win 8 to 9 rounds to win this on points. I see it most likely being a 5-7/6-6/7-5 fight that Whyte gets the decision on.

Because Ortiz lost.. so his stock goes down and that's not even considering the fact that after Ortiz lost AJ unified against an unbeaten world champion . I think AJ has done enough to build the fight without fighting Ortiz who has no mandatory status in any org and is coming off a loss. This is a business y'know .

As for Whyte? Why didn't he fight Ortiz? Probably because of the ******ity surrounding the final eliminator mandate and second mandatory etc.. the length of time it would then take to get a fight out of wilder and also .. money.

The UK fans watched Ortiz stink the place out under matchroom against Scott and Allen.. next they heard he lost against wilder. UK fans will absolutely have bigger buyrate for the Parker fight than the Ortiz fight. That's a fact. Noone in the UK will pay a PPV of Ortiz.

Ortiz couldn't even get close to a Joshua fight when he was with Hearn. Instead he lined Joshua up with a Wilder left over Molina, and wouldn't even put Ortiz on the same card. The Scott fight was a joke, and should have been stopped as a NC or DQ due to Scott's constant running.

When Ortiz was the WBA mandatory, Hearn insisted on fighting his other mando Pulev instead of Ortiz, and lined up Takam knowing that Pulev would pull out like he did before. Why not line up Ortiz instead? Whateveer I guess. High risk low reward is the only logical answer.

Ortiz had already lost his mandatory spot with the WBA due to his failed test and it was upheld by them. He wasn't mandatory when the pulev fight was called by the IBF and if Hearn hadn't gone with Takam then Joshua would have been stripped of that belt as the IBF had already stated they'd exempt a Klitschko 2 but if it couldn't be made he had to fulfill his mandatory.

Due to pulev pulling out they follow their rules and go down the list to takam. Very simple.

At no point was Ortiz marketable enough to the UK buying fanbase to be a Joshua fight. Yes it was also dangerous but then it's just another valid reason for not doing it.

Why put in Ortiz.. who at the time he started with matchroom had beaten Jennings and Jennings only and was known purely as a drug cheat against Joshua who at the time was building the first Klitschko fight ?

You're asking why a non marketable , high risk low reward non selling drug cheat wasnt put against Joshua whilst they were building the most lucrative heavyweight fight since Tyson / Lewis?

Boxing is a business first and foremost. And Ortiz made absolutely no sense in any regard to business. And like I said.. when the pulev fight was ordered.. Ortiz had already been stripped of the mandatory WBA slot.

Whyte to win by a brutal KO. End of "never been dropped" tag

How do propose Ortiz get a fight with Joshua when Klitchko was going to figtt him in November 2016 which was agreed to a few months before ?

Molina was a step in for Klitchko who injured himself so the date was pushed back to April 2017 .

Joshua then had a mandatory in Pulev switched to Takam and Ortiz was guaranteed a fight next bc he was the 2nd mandatory but HE chose to fight Wilder instead .


It is Ortiz who decided not to fight Joshua , took on Dan Martz and then Wilder .
