Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz: I'll Ask To Go On Disability - So Joshua Fights Me!

[JWHardin]

Does he? Takam is a tough guy. I wanna se that fight.

What would that prove? Takam just got his ass kicked by gatekeeper Chisora. Chisora, Parker, and Whyte are all about the same level, which is a level below Ortiz.

The idea that Joshua/Hearn are avoiding Luis Ortiz is really quite silly. What does Ortiz bring to the table? His only notable win came in beating Bryant Jennings in 2015. Jennings, who'd already been beaten by Klitschko, is no longer rated. On the basis of that win Hearn started promoting him with the idea of him as a future Joshua opponent. But Ortiz stunk the place out against Malik Scott and Dave Allen, so Hearn let him go. Five months ago he challenged a seriously underweight Deontay Wilder and got dropped three times and stopped in 10. He's 39-years-old and has previously failed a drugs test. Joshua is avoiding no-one. His programme is his mandatory against Povetkin, then Wilder (if Wilder signs the contract), then either Miller or Whyte, then Tyson Fury or Usyk - with a mandatory or two thrown in. There just isn't room for Ortiz unless he beats one of the names on this list.

Haha, Hearn won't let Joshua get this fight. Too dangerous

Yes it's far too dangerous. Beating the likes of Whyte and Klitschko are nothing compared to fighting a guy who has beat nothing but cans and a bloated Cuban on heart bills. AJ scared doe.

Pretty sure he meant social security because he's gonna be 65 soon

Lol AJ is going to hold Dillian as a shield and Whyte will duck and say Ortiz priced himself out.
These UK fighters are yellow. Both of Hearns bums will duck Ortiz.
Just watch it.

(...) a fat bum who could not stop Malik Scott.

... tbh: he floored Malik three times in the process, and ended his boxing career...

Save face? By fighting a guy who has lost to Wilder is on heart pills and is over 40?

Povetkin has beat better opponents and is the bigger fight for AJ.

He is 39 and not 40 until next year. Call me a publicly educated sevant, perhaps a genius but Google is free as is actually listening to Showtime commentators. Maybe proclaiming an art repeated lie makes people feel better to attempt to discredit a fighter? Hell I don’t know. What I do know is had Irtiz landed that same left on AJ it’d be lights out. AJ knows it as does used car salesman Hearn. Jim Gray was 100% spot on. No top HW will fight him because it’d ruin their paydays. HW isn’t about bravado any longer it’s a division of cowards after $$

**** Ortiz! this guy is fighting straight up bums and expecting title shots, who has he fought recently? After Aleen and Scott he went awol, then fought some guy off the street, then got stopped by Wilder, and now another unranked bum.

This guy needs to retire or he needs to fight someone in the top 10 before getting anywhere near a title.

That unranked bum as you call him big guy Parker couldn’t put away and people around here out stock into Parker as if he is a top 10. Parker therefore is a bum yes?

[Boxingfanatic75]

6 months older than the age Ortiz claims to be.

It’s the age as posted on the internet with the actual date and what Showtime states so unless you have proof positive evidence to the contrary close the yap
