Joshua vs Ortiz next?

[Curt Henning]

Only in Wilder fangirl land should the heavyweight champion of the world fight a guy lower ranked than his last two fights and who's coming off a KO loss

Absolutely pathetic.

hes not coming off a KO loss dummy....hes coming off a KO victory over a guy that went 12 rounds with parker...idiot

[Boksfan]

Ortiz got his chance already and got knocked the **** out, time for the new, young guys to get their shot at title. Big Baby Miller is hungry.

Stop calling Parker idiot, only because he went 12 rounds with Romanian bum doesn't mean he's an idiot!

[Boksfan]

Why fight killer Ortiz when he can fight Whyte, Kownacki, or the Chinese guy.

Bum killer has spoken

[Sparked_26]

AJ fights twice a year. Can’t be wasting a voluntary on this guy.

I accept he’s dangerous but he also looks 400 years old and has no name value,

Jarrell Miller, Usyk or Dillian for me.

Whyte is touch and go as to whether that is acceptable but he’ll sell. He’s also earned a title shot at this stage and Wilder ain’t fighting him.

These Wilder fans make me laugh, why are they clamouring to find opponents for Joshua when he’s got the best resume in the division?

[BoZz]

WHY can’t we get this fight?

Joshua vs Ortiz is a really good fight with promise of fireworks and a knockout!

Why aren’t U.K. fans of AJ fans clamoring for this?

Why aren’t boxing fans asking for this fight?

We all know Wilder is tied up with the lineal undefeated champ Fury so why not Luis Ortiz who has only lost once in a FOTY contender against Wilder an undefeated champ and is still a viable top contender!

He was the first to stop Brandon Jennings something Klitschko couldn’t do.

Stopped Cojanu, something former champ Joseph Parker couldn’t do.

Stopped David Allen, something Dillian Whyte couldn’t do.

This should be the fight happening on April 13th at Wembley, not a rematch where AJ only got rocked in a round and brutally stopped Whyte!

Let’s get it, Joshua vs Ortiz at Wembley on April 13th!

Because gayjay is a coward, by now you should know that

This fight doesn’t interest me at all, it’s trash. The only reason I would be happy for this fight to happen is because of the payday Ortiz would get for his daughter. He hasn’t done anything, I would rather Joshua/Whyte rematch happen or Joshua/Miller. At least Whyte is fighting decent names and had momentum.

So why blame AJ and Hearn for boxing politics that's been around for years?

First you state it was because he CHOSE takam.. which is rubbish..and by the way it was Pulev who was injured causing takam to come in. That fight was a necessity as the IBF had ruled that if Klitschko 2 did not happen then AJ MUST fight his IBF mandatory or be stripped. The WBA allowed this as he had just won the super belt.

He then faced off in a unification against Parker.. but I guess a champion unifying against a champion isn't as good as facing Ortiz in a wilder fans eyes.

The simple fact is mandatories are what they are... And whilst nobody blames Ortiz for jumping to Haymon for an immediate title shot, he still failed a drugs test and cemented himself as a cheat..and AJ wasn't to blame for that .

The fact wilder fans moan so much about drug cheats and everyone on drugs cos they don't wana fight wilder.. yet they'll happily push for AJ to fight both well known HW ped cheats back to back is laughable.

That's fanboyism .. not being a fan of pugilism

First of all, Ortiz failing a drug test while he was ranked by both WBC and the WBA while being Joshua's mandatory challenger was simply not true. The man had high blood pressure.

That was why he was on those diuretics and hypertension medications to begin with. They were not performing enhancing drugs; Unlike Alexander Povetkin who had popped three prior times for failing drug tests. One was with Wilder (meldonium) and the two others were with Bermane Stiverne (dimethylamylamine and Ostarine).

However, and the real issue issue here is that Ortiz was inevitably cleared of any wrongdoing. It was determined by the WBC that he had not indeed doped or juiced for PEDS because there was no evidence to have ever suggest that he did; Thereby getting reinstated by the WBC to challenge Wilder for his belt.

Now he is currently ranked second. Tied with Dillian Whyte for the second mandatory title elimination bout to challenge Deontay Wilder for the title. Lastly, have you not heard the news? The WBA has just recently begun to reinstate Luis Ortiz by their sanctioning body and has started the process of having him ranked again.

You mean after he served the mandatory sentence on non-ranking?

Oh well because the WBC found him clear then he must not have cheated... It isn't like you where one of the ones who absolutely berated the guy for taking a PED to need to beat wilder... No not at all.

If he beat wilder you'd be screaming drug cheat.. now Wilders beat him youre screaming an AJ duck.

You aren't a fan of pugilism and keeping the integrity of the sport. You aren't a neutral .. you aren't someone who appreciates the sport over the participants.. you're a fan boy.

Now **** off back into your hole
