    If Ortiz takes Joshua fight should it be pushed back?

    Honestly Ortiz is 40 now and this a dangerous fight for him wouldnt it befair on AJ and Hearns part to atleast let him have a full camp at his best you thoughts?

    Being that we were still 6 weeks out when the news hit I don't think a pushed back date is necessary. I couldn't fault them too much for pushing it back if they decided to, but it seems like a tiny variable when we are still 6 weeks out. If we were 2 or 3 weeks out I might feel differently.

        Given that 17,000 tickets have been sold and 10,000 Brits have already booked flights for the occasion...I'll go with nah.

          Yeah man, not happening. The Ortiz fight isn't happening anyway. Like someone already said, it'll be Hunter

            Ortiz shouldn't take the fight at 6weeks notice unless he's already in decent training shape. If he loses he isn't getting another chance so he needs to be sure he's giving it his best shot.

              Assuming Hearn is making 40 year old Ortiz a reasonable offer, this is a chance Ortiz likely won't see again. If he can pass the drug test phck winning, he needs to do this for his family.

                  If Ortiz were 24 not 40 my answer would be different.

                    The fight is in 6 weeks not 6 days (plus didn't Ortiz fight last month? He can't be in bad shape.)
