Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz: Any Heavyweight That Thinks I'm Old, Get In The Ring

[ecuasionz]

Joshua was only going to take Ortiz as a last minute replacement. Joshua knows Ortiz is old. No body gets credit for knocking out old guys.

Vladimir Klitschko was 41 years old with no belts and hadn't fought in 2 years. And Anthony Joshua got all the credit in the world and was said to have cemented himself as top heavyweight after the best win of his career. You've now been suspended indefinitely for that dumb @$$ comment.

You are one of the clowns if you don't think Ortiz team should make an offer to other guys to prove hez not over hyped and old.
Nobody is obliged to make an offer to him.

Still cannot clarify HOW Ortiz has been "exposed".

Sure i am the clown!!

Thanks for clearing that up.

Back to discussing boxing with people who really have something of substance to contribute.

Now, after this fight, they have no reason to be in the ring together unless they trying to help Wilder catch a body. This dude's can't keep taking that kind of punishment at this age.

King Kong beats Joshua, Ruiz, Fury, Usyk, Whyte, Miller.

Nothing stops Ortiz and his team from making offers to other guys. The world doesn't owe him a thing. You can't just sit around and expect others to come to you. To how many guys out there has his team initiated an offer? Guys like Hunter, Takam, Chisora, Povetkin, Parker, Pulev, Rivas would embrace the chance if offered something good. What stops his team from pairing him with in-house guys like Martins, Ruiz, and Kownacki?
Ortiz should stop crying and do the needful, only then he can tell us who and who turned him down.

Sit around? He is one of the most active HWs out there

Why would he be on anyone’s radar though?

He isn’t a good win for a top 5 fighter. He’s a promotional tool for Wilder, and that’s all

What’s to gain exactly?

Ortiz can’t have been exposed because he didn’t earn the right to be highly regarded

How far does a UD against a 2019 Cristian Hammer get you nowadays？

Joshua's best win is against a 41 year old coming off of a loss and a 2 year layoff man

Wladimir Kiltschko was not exactly inactive entirely for 2 years, he was engaging in training camp after training camp 'He effectively had 3 full training camps before he fought Anthony Joshua' he was clearly in better physical & technical condition when he fought Anthony Joshua 'In comparison to the Fury fight'.

Wladimir Kiltschko has even stated himself that he was in better condition when he fought Anthony Joshua etc

and back to back training camps is why floyd gets slammed for his mosley win and why ortiz is complaining now.....cant move the goal post to fit your agenda..cant call a younger person old and then call and older person not old especially when they are coming off of a damn loss

I can remember at the time, Kiltschko stating that it benefited him 'He was clearly in immense condition, his performance in losing? Reminded me of when Holyfield lost to Bowe I. Since that fight no fighter has gained so much credit in a loss, until Wladimir Kiltschko 'I did not expect the fight to last so long, or be so competitive'.

The real progress happens in the gym, not really on fight night. 'It is the fighters who stay in the gym who improve' I never like hearing a fighter stating they are going to take afew months off etc You do not see this mentality in Olympic athletes who are the pinnacle of dedication.
