Comments Thread For: Ortiz, Wilder Want To Fight Again; When & Why Are Still TBD

[5000boxing]

I agree styles make fights and Joshua fights on the line with little head movment.He is open for jab,st8 right and Wilder is quicker and has REAL dog in him and will go for it at any time.AJ has some dog in him too and like I said the more complete fighter but I just see Wilder clipping his less then great chin(at least)also Wilder is stronger late better stamina.Although Wilder if he don't spark him quick might have a problem not getting clipped himself before AJ gets tired.AJ is a huge puncher himself not on Wilder's level but no one is since Foreman in his prime.Great fight and would be HUGE for sport.I like AJ but seem to be always defending Wilder because MOST of AJs fans are NO WHERE NEAR as honest when talking about fight.Thrilogy would be the best thing to happen to sport in a LONG time.

Same here.. I was upset with Wilder back in the day because he said he wouldn't give Ortiz a shot bc of his past.. AJ dethrone klitschko and Ortiz started working with matchroom.. I was like omg.. AJ is fighting Ortiz? I have no choice but to ride with him.. but then Wilder decided to fight Povetkin in russia.. then polish guy pissed hot.. an Wilder was still talking about giving Povetkin another chance.. I was furious.. but then matchroom dropped Ortiz.. which meant that eddie signed him on fight by fight bases to avoid him. Bc ortiz was wba mandatory.. Wilder shocked the world announcing the Ortiz fight.. So I was back on the Wilder train.. but then Ortiz pissed hot.. I was crushed.. but then the wba cleared Ortiz.. and Wilder agreed to bless him again when he could have ran.. Wilder fought and beat him..

Great post esp about AJ/Hearn signing Ortiz to KEEP HIM AWAY from AJ.And yea Wilder had the best excuse in the world to not sign to fight Ortiz again.And then takes the next guy(Fury) most would avoid because of style(and skills)almost impossible to look good with even if you win.One southpaw and other 6-9 switch hitter and clearly those two are better then anyone AJ has fought.And AJ has fought some good fighters but a 41yr old and inactive Wlad and Povetkin don't quite add up to those two.
