AJ wanting Luis Ortiz if the Wilder fight can't be made. Is this true?

[Fabes88]

Haha this. He will go from bogeyman of the division, most skilled fighter etc to absolute old bum who was ruined by Wilder by Wilder fans.

That’s why they want it to happen so badly.

[SN!PER]

Ortiz is a harder fight than Whyte or Miller.

I would give him full credit, but I don't think it'll happen.

Ortiz is 50 years old and has 5-6 round stamina, Wilder had one rough patch with him then just took him past 6 rounds and drowned him, and after seeing Wilder vs Fury, and comparing that to wilder vs ortiz, i'm sorry but Ortiz skills are overrated

I see ortiz as like a slightly worse version of povetkin and him vs AJ is so predictable it wouldn't even be interesting

At least with Miller there's some uncertainty there

Yes fight dillian on 13/4 and ortiz on 1/7.
Shouldn't need to wait 6 months. Miller can happen in 1/10

This tbh

if he is going to do the whyte fight then he needs to have a quick turnaround planned because i dont ant to wait nigh on a year for a really interesting aj fight

[Zaryu]

Youll see the fastest 180 ever on a fighters reputation regarding ortiz if joshua signs to fight him

Yup, all the AJ fanatics would start rating Ortiz all of a sudden...

[DaNeutral.]

We cant have this. Joshua is being accused of fighting bums instead of Fury or Wilder. He fought an unbeaten world champion and followed that up with Povetkin who had only lost to the divisions dominant king and nobody else. If he takes on old man Ortiz who has never won a world title and doesnt have a really good resume then sure that is a step down, If Parker and Povetkin are bums what the hell is Luis Ortiz?

Joshua destroys Ortiz easy. Even ****ing Wilder beat him and hes the most protected fighter in the sport and a bit of a fraud.

[JWHardin]

IF AJ takes on Ortiz, win or lose, I give him respect, and full credit for the win. For some reason though, Hearn and him seem to shy away from Ortiz. It would be a great comparison to how Wilder did, and build their potential fight even more.

My guess is, no way will Hearn and AJ take the fight. Hope I am wrong. Until I see it signed and scheduled, I will attribute it to Joshua just name dropping. He talks about guys pricing themselves out. Hell, Ortiz would fight him for 100K.

you mean he wouldn't be a 49 year old who is one blood pressure pill away from a stroke?

I don't see it happening. Ortiz/Fury for all the belts doesn't have a ring to it lol
