Comments Thread For: Matchroom CEO Sees No Reason Wilder To Face Ortiz Again

[JWHardin]

Joshua should just fight Fury next. Forget about Wilder for now.

If Ortiz was fighting Joshua this weekend, what would Hearn be saying about Ortiz right now?

That he's a massive puncher, a southpaw, the biggest challenge in the division, had Deontay out on his feet and would be the WBC champion if the doctor didn't delay the next round, the undefeated uncrowned WBC heavyweight champion and that live on DAZN this Saturday you're essentially getting to see the crowning of the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis.

This right here. Good post.

I've never heard this guy before so things must be serious lol. Really he is mad because Wilder just killed any possible hype for the AJ fight this weekend. Like he said "the only question AJ gets is when is he gonna fight Wilder. Now that's gone because Wilder did his own thing". That anticipation to see what happens after the fight is gone. So no one has a reason to watch.

Fury was riding high after beating Wilder (you know what I mean)...Wilder was riding high after demolishing Brezeale...and they both blew it with these fight choices. Is Joshua THAT scary??

That's how boxing works.

Wilder is fighting Ortiz because he ran out of heavyweights to fight - he beat them all. So he's now got to fight all the people he already beat again.

It's a shame Fury can't fight Joshua but Fury has chosen to fight a real dangerous fighter in Tom Schwarz. Schwarz holds the WBO intercontinental title which is a huge belt to own.

Wilder and Fury have the biggest balls in the division. I would recommend that Joshua fights all the fighters he has already beaten again. Only if he beats them can he even be close to Wilder's level.

It's really a great time to be a boxing fan!

fair comments but ...

maybe ortiz had a deal in place with showtime or for fox for wilder before jarrell miller fell out of the joshua fight and couldnt get out of it.
thats why he didnt take the joshua fight

i agree that we already saw wilder v ortiz
but it was entertaining
and ...
if ortiz is as you say eddie 'old' why did you claim to go to great lengths to make the ortiz v joshua fight?

i mean you cant love him for joshua but thinks hes too old for wilder - even if they already did fight

Yet they were willing to do a Whyte vs Joshua rematch.

[Oshio]

I really hoped that they would've had Ortiz fight Kownacki for the right to face Wilder! I hope the WBC mandates Wilder to fight the winner of Whyte vs. Rivas next, instead of Kownacki!

And you think Al Haymon will allow this to happen!?
