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

[methodcal]

Bull ****t! Ortiz was NOT signed to fight Kaufmann before Whyte called him out. He offered to jump off the Wilder card and travel to the UK. At that time nothing was signed between Whyte and Chisora.

Joyce called Ortiz out publicly BEFORE he signed to fight Hammer, or Stiverne and Joyce were signed.

You are a lying sack.

I remember this ^^^

It being a more challenging fight is your subjective opinion just like me thinking both Whyte and Ortiz getting knocked out by AJ in similar rounds is my opinion too.

I know exactly how both fighters look when they are knocked out so I wouldn’t mind seeing a fat Yank from Brooklyn getting knocked out with the incentive he has a big mouth and I curious whether he falls face first, butt cheeks in the air or he curls up like a new born in the foetal position.

If Miller can take and absorb a punch well the fight might be really competitive.We already know with Ortiz he is skilled but he is old. He can not take punishment.

AJ vs Miller will sell more than AJ vs Ortiz

In the US...I agree. Even money in the UK. Just believe Ortiz is a more competitive fight due to him being a south paw and Joshua's limited gas tank.

No one wants to see this fight. I'd rather see AJ vs. Big Baby Miller

There is a really good chance Whyte beats Joshua, He's a much better fighter than the first fight. I would put money on Whyte.

Whyte is a very good fighter. The best fight he can do right now besides the obvious 2 which are fighting each other again as these 2 are.

Yeah, I totally agree. Whyte has done what he was supposed to after a loss: Get back up and fight good competition. He is easily among the top HWs out there, with the big 2 at the top in any order you want, and Fury, Ortiz and him in any order you want next. No doubt his record is better than Ortiz.

This is a fine fight and it is interesting. Whyte is a legit fighter and Joshua could lose if not prepared. I like this a TON better than a fight with Miller who has stepped up less than anyone in the top 10.

Wasn’t Whyte carrying an injury into the first fight too?

I think he can worry Joshua, he’ll definitely give it a good go anyway. Eventually though I just think Joshua will have his number.

I hate it because it’s an awful fight, but it’s actually the fight I’m hoping he takes since he has to eventually. Why not now? He clearly doesn’t hve anyone else to fight.

I think it’d be an ok fight, Pulev looked relatively decent v Hughie (better than Parker did) despite having a long time out. Only got the one loss on his record, and will be a big awkward lump.

As you say, Joshua’s got to take the fight at some point, so might as well do it whilst nothing else interesting is on the table.

I agree. I think it’ll be a trash fight, especially with Pulev being 38, but Joshua doesn’t have an opponent. Last thing I want is for after wilder/Fury for Hearn to go “oops! Pulev mandatory!”

No, He's still awful. Struggling to put away some one with 9 losses doesn't change that.

38 is quite young for an AJ opponent.
