    You are the one who needs to smoke less. And no, I'm not a Wilder fan. He ducked way too many. 40 fights with one credible opponent? LOL!!!!!!

    So tell us Einstein... what are IN ORDER the top 5 HWs now?
    So who is the tool right now??? Hahaha, you just made a tool of yourself with all the BS talk, Ortiz has been called out for the wimp he is for rejecting 7m his fellow Cubans where shocked he rejected that much bread when his highest purse is 500k...well, being ****** cant be fixed no one can help you or Ortiz.

      This is no different from the Wilder case.
      Pretend to want the top guy with multiple titles in the division.
      Then when offered 10x your average purse,
      you and your incredibly disgusting fans would start screaming,
      "IT'S A LOWBALL OFFER!"
      Instead of wondering why your uncle Al can't offer that kind of money.

        Just because Fury is fighting an absolute atrocious fighter doesn’t make those guys better than they are.

        They are literally no one in context of the heavyweight scene and not better than millers guys either.

        All of them are basic journeymen.

              Well his trainer confirmed he was offered between $7m-$8m and five weeks would have been fine to get ready.
              So its a clear duck. The thing is I don't think it was Ortiz who made that call. I think it was who was advising him.
              They obviously whispered in his ear saying $8m was not a good offer. If they offered $20m I don't think it would of made any difference. His advisors don't want the fight.

                Especially since it's on short notice.
                No he doesn't

                He's been knocked out by Wilder

                He's not American and undefeated

                The fight will not do as well as AJ vs Miller

                He Should be happy with 5m he'd probably have to fight 3 times to match that vs anyone else

                  He'll get a lot more than 5 million for the Wilder rematch.

                    We shall see. For his sake I hope so, but I doubt it

                      Apparently Hearn thinks he does. Since reports are that he offered Ortiz more than $5 million.
