So Wilder confirms Ortiz is next, what should the fight be called?

[Robbie Barrett]

My point was that op was mad that all the attention was on Wilder. Can you read?

The OP is mad that Wilder isn't going to negotiate a Joshua fight but fight Ortiz instead.

[TheBigLug]

For me it's the most pointless rematch since Kovalev v Pascal. No need for either matches to happen again.

That fights will happen soon and you know it will.

[champion4ever]

That's exactly what will happen.

I believe that would be the case too. In addition, he went the distance with Joseph Parker too.

[champion4ever]

Wilder's last 3 fights have gone viral. This will do good numbers too

So true. I agree. Hands down Wilder is the man at Heavyweight. He is by far, the most entertaining and crowd pleasing heavyweight champion/boxer in the world today.

[champion4ever]

yeah it would be embrassing if he nearly gets stopped and is down on the cards when he wins by late ko over a gassed ruiz. hmmm sounds familiar...

You're dreaming man. If he don't put Andy Ruiz away a lot sooner than Deontay Wilder put Breazeale away then his stock will plummet. Especially in the states and in the negotiations with Deontay Wilder; If Matchroom and DAZN are pushing for a late November early December bout. Hell Wilder just may get a 60/40 split of the purse.

Exactly! Joshua is clearly #3 behind Fury and Wilder.

Only a bias Limey would even suggest otherwise.

Just the facts here; What has Joshua done INSIDE THE RING that would suggest otherwise?

Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing. Since the Wladimir Klitschko fight; More than two years ago. He has done absolutely Jack shit! He has fought nothing but Euro bum after Euro bum. That's why he is now fighting in the states against an American opponent.

Now Eddie is under a lot of pressure to produce Wilder vs Joshua before next year because he knows he has only a small window left. If he doesn't generate enough subs or revenue for DAZN by the end of September of next year he is out with the bath water.

[Tyistall]

So, according to Wilder fans, AJ is #3 now because Wilder beat a guy that AJ beat 3 years ago when he was undefeated. Also Fury is #2 or #1 because he was in a draw with Wilder, who is only now stepping up his level of competition after 40 fights haha. Never mind AJ has 4 belts, has been fighting top ten guys and offered both Fury and Wilder millions to fight him. Y'all aren't even worth debating any more on this.

Thank you! I give AJ A LOT of respect for beating a very game Wlad.

But since then he's done NOTHING. His best win since that was against Povetkin. And he sure didn't look too great during the 1st four rounds of that fight!

While Deontay has beaten a very game Ortiz, was 1 second away from stopping Fury in a draw, and just starched Breaze in 1 rd.

How could ANYONE argue Wilder is behind AJ at this point?

And a win over Andy Ruiz ain't gonna help his cause too much.

Face it Hearn; You guys are going to have to take a tough fight at some point.
