Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Joshua vs. Whyte Rematch is Getting Closer

[KTFOKING]

I just got done listening to some interviews from yesterday and he was saying Miller is the favorite and even if it is Whyte, it will likely be in May or June. What am I missing here? Did something change that quickly or is the article a bit suspect?

If Ortiz wants to fight Joshua, he can't fight guys like Cojanu. He has to fight Parker, and guys that Parker fights...like Cojanu

Not to mention Cojanu went the distance with Parker and Ortiz KO'd him in 2 rounds lol

No one wants to see a re-run of Whyte getting KO'd. Why not fight someone that is a threat. Luis Ortiz is the best available opponent. Oh that's right, he brings nothing to the table, and is old.

And he got knocked out with snot running down his face only 2 fights ago. Not to mention he went 12 rounds with Travis Kauffman. You don’t fight a Calibre of opponent such as him and get rewarded with Joshua. That’s not how it works. Maybe if he was still undefeated he may have a case but the mystic of beating Ortiz has gone. If you get to the 9th round vs Ortiz he collapses all on his own

Cojanu was a late substitute when H Fury pulled out with days to go, was not Parker's intended choice of opponent. True that Parker didn't look great in the fight.

F**k me this April date is nearly as annoying as this brexit s**tstorm

Get something signed ..... annoying as f**k

not gonna lie there is literally no fight joshua could make that is even a little interesting except Fury and Wilder. unfortunately they arent serious about making fights with either before or after they do their rematch

Fury and Wilder have been offered 40% to fight Joshua. Is that not serious offers? You have the fight you want and you are still complaining. Your champion does not want to become undisputed. He wants to be lineal champion.

Are you okay? You seem pressed today and haven't mentioned baby oil. I'm concerned.

Ortiz is nothing living off outboxing wilder till he got sparked out and everyone knows wilder can't box for sh it whyte has earned that rematch he's fought much better fighters than Ortiz and Miller what's the point in having rankings if the fighter who fights the best to earn the shot don't get it cos someone looks hard Ortiz or shouts his mouth of Miller whyte has gone from strength to strength since first fight I dont think Joshua has

Whyte might win this one by KO.

Rankings are subjective and not some authority. As far as Whyte earning his rematch...meh. He beat some C level guys and Parker...barely. Better names than say Ortiz but a lot of people give Ortiz more credit for almost beating Wilder than they give Whyte for surviving versus Parker. With that said, given that Joshua owns a win over Whyte a lot of people would prefer Joshua take on Ortiz over Whyte...its a more challenging fight.
