Who should be AJ's replacement opponent?

[LacedUp]

Ortiz would be perfect...but they don't have the balls for that...they being matchroom

I heard Eddie saw the 12 round decision over Hammer and immediately blocked Jay Jiminez's phone number.

nah that didn't happen

but what did happen was hearn heard wilder would be in attendance at an AJ fight and wanted to enter the ring so he called the BBB and made sure he would be banned from doing so

he also had wilder on the hook for 12.5 million if he guaranteed the fight in 2018 but he sent some papers with no date on it and then said "april 2019" when asked what the date was....

that 12 round decision over parker by AJ was must see stuff I might add....everyone was very impressed and AJ is now tops on the avoid list! lol

[Madison Boxing]

Overrated as hell but ortiz would be a decent stand in opponent. He wont get any credit for beating him though 'he wasnt the same after wilder, age caught up with him'will be repeated a lot on here by the same people saying joshua is scared

[Kezzer]

Realistically if Miller is definitely a no go then Ortiz, Kownacki Pulev or Whyte? I think most would prefer Ortiz or whyte

[DaaamnSon]

ffs not kubrat pulev.

If not Ortiz why not Pulev?

Not only does he have some notoriety in the US for kissing that reporter that would help sell the fight but a potential Pulev fight would also fulfil AJ's IBF mandatory in the process.

No credibility whatsoever, Hearn has paid Wilder to be in attendance at AJ fight and offered to to so for the Parker fight. But Wilder wanted to get extra free promotion without signing to a fight and got upset when he would only be allowed in the ring with AJ's permission. He also found out Whyte would be there crapped his pants and turned down a easy pay day and chance of raising his profile.

Only reason you're saying only 12.5 mil instead of 15 is to twist facts by lying and make it into something it wasn't. Facts are Wilder said he was gonna sign and didn't, there was no reason it wouldn't be next as it would have been overly damaging to Hearns image as he was about to launch with DAZN, also he didn't refuse to add anything. The WBA then got fed up made the Povetkin fight a must no more delays. Also there was a reason for the missing date and venue which was it wasn't booked Hear only managed to sort it out a month later but even the WBA were satisified he was doing so.

Wilder has admitted himself he is avoiding AJ for a larger pay day in the 'future'.

Poolev is absolutely dreadful.

[Jax teller]

Ortiz is the ideal guy for fight fans, plus it will get rid of these "Ortiz beats AJ and AJ knows it" ******s or atleast change them into "Ortiz was too old and Wilder ruined him first" ******s.

[LetOutTheCage]

Ortiz would be the biggest scalp from the list mentioned. None are great though
