Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Aims For Three Fights in 2019, Hopes For Title Shot

[DougalDylan]

Ortiz should fight Brezeale I thought they were both PBC , Big Al side of the fence and he has 50 million.

Then assuming Wilder is not available you have a case for calling out Whyte ppv UK. That WBC second mandatory thing is worthless.

Ortiz has to face facts he got his shot and now fought two really low level opposition sincewhen others have done way more.

Whyte called him out for years till Ortiz got his shot, Ortiz avoided him because Whyte had nothing for him now Whytes in front and we have the reverse. Ortiz needs to push (come up with a big win somewhere) / come up with a load of cash or wait his turn again. At the end of the day Ortiz got his shot at a title Whyte never has so he can't complain.

German Caicedo, trainer for heavyweight contender Luis Ortiz (30-1, 26 KOs), says it's very hard to get opponents for his boxer. Ortiz is currently training for a scheduled ring return on March 2nd at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, against Christian Hammer.

It's about time these contenders step up to the plate and stop avoiding King Kong. They want the title shots but they rather choose to take the path of least resistance by circumventing Luis Ortiz. These guys need to start fighting one another and earn their shots at the Heavyweight world titles.

Alexander Povetkin
Kubrat Pulev
Dominic Brezeale
Andy Ruiz Jr
Carlos Takam
Adam kownaki
Flip Hrgovic
Joseph Parker

Of the above mentioned names; He knocks them all clean the spark out. He has nothing to prove against any of those guys at this point of his career because Ortiz is no longer a Spring chicken and he's not getting any younger.

Moreover time is running out on his career. Therefore, it's time for Joshua to step up to the plate and give him a title shot because Deontay Wilder already has.

He has everything to probe because he's proven NOTHING. He doesn't have a better resume than any of those I just mentioned, WORSE THAN some of them

I wondered why you were on ignore, good decision

[SuperSuperLeeds]

Fury dropped and stopped hammer with ease and that was years ago. I think Ortiz vs H.fury would be good. H.fury schools him, would be a good eliminator

Yes he got his shot and I'm going to say something nice about Wilder for once he gave Ortiz a shot he didn't deserve coming off 2 drug bans.

He got a free shot if he wants another one, EARN IT

[Oshio]

This guy has been badly managed and the only people that can help him now are Joshua, Wilder rematch and Fury. Whyte, Povetkin are also names that can help him

Ortiz vs. Kownacki at the Barclay's! Make It Happen!

[Laligalaliga]

Well point #1 is his team don't seem to even have approached any of the other contenders, as usual and point #2 is maybe AL Haymon ought to open his wallet and stump up a half decent payday for a Luis Ortiz opponent.

Offer Andy Ruiz Jr a mil and that fight gets signed tomorrow. That's a GREAT heavyweight fight pitting a skilled but old counterpuncher vs a guy with incredible handspeed and a great chin.

These guys aren't going to make offers to Ortiz because he doesn't bring any $$$ so it's on HIS team to finance an offer to a decent contender.

We arent going to get Ortiz vs a ruiz jr or a pulev or a hrgovic, It won't happen, he will fight Eric molina or someone next and say the champs are ducking him.

One thing I like about your posts is you call it just the way it is. I agree with everything you wrote absolutely.

[Phill lynott]

No he's not there yet. Then again we dont know where he's at and the way he fights now at his age why not test him with an Ortiz? He's gotta grow up soon and has heavy enough hands to get Ortiz's respect anyway.

[Laligalaliga]

They don’t want smoke with King Kong Ortiz just ask Joshua and Whyte!

Ortiz is just gonna have to beat down and knock out everyone who’s willing to step in the ring with him until he looks shot and the ones with merit will come crawling!

I sent a letter to his team to tell them they need work him into one of the mandatory rankings for one of AJ’s belts and they said it still doesn’t matter cuz an opponent still has to want to take the fight!

True enough

it's simple..... make an offer to other top 10 guys.
Am tired of all this duck crying. How can the whole division be scared of a guy that his best win is Jennings.
I still don't understand.

Post the approaches Luis Ortiz team has made to the following fighters

Alexander Povetkin
Kubrat Pulev
Dominic Brezeale
Andy Ruiz Jr
Carlos Takam
Adam kownaki
Flip Hrgovic
Joseph Parker

Oh that's right they HAVEN'T

Ortiz only wants to fight BUMS or world champions

You HAVE to beat some guys in the middle ground, but Ortiz doesn't even TRY, he just signs fights vs bums and expects multiple title shots

Wasn't he the WBA mandatory???
