Fools talk a lot of crap about Ortiz but none of them want that smoke. If he's so old, slow, and overrated then it shouldn't be a problem for the other heavyweights to fight him. The only ones who had the stones to do so were Wilder, Joshua, and JenningsComment

Much success to one of the greatest fighters of this generation Luis Ortiz. They are running out of places to duck.
We all know Eddie Hearn made up this sound byte to justify AJ and Dillian Whyte ducking King Kong Ortiz.
However the challenge is can they explain why age matters to them so much when that fighter is undefeated and at the top of the division. For Whyte, Ortiz was even ranked higher than him. Why wouldn't you want the old man?
However what is increasingly telling about the real reason for the sound byte is not just the ducks in a row, it is this... There are three UK fighters clearly ducking Ortiz. They are the same ones that keep the "King Kong is old," in their hip pocket Joshua, Whyte and Fury.
What isn't said enough is two of those fighter in Joshua and Fury made there HW name fighting Vladimir Klitschko. At the time Fury fought him he was 39. At the time Joshua fought him he was 41. Remarkably the same age as Luis Ortiz? Where is this new respect for older fighters coming from?
Matter fact Joshua and Fury have been fighting guys near or over 40 recently. Just recently Fury fought Sefer Seferi who wasn't even on his level. Well he was 40.
Joshua fought Povetkin and Takam and struggled. So whats special about 40 year old Ortiz? Is it that he was ranked #4 in the division and may be the best pure boxer in the Heavyweight division.
We all know whats up. Even the trolls with their fight prevention efforts. Give me old boxing where Moorer took on Foreman and got KTFO. Non of this wining and posturing we see today in order to keep the peoples hero's safe.
These guys need to fight Ortiz. Lets start with Whyte. He needs something to do as we wait on the B-Sample. Looks like it was shipped by Pony Express across the Atlantic.Comment

Dillian Whyte was begging Hearn for a fight with Ortiz back then, but Eddie wanted to keep the old guy safe for an easy mandatory defense by AJ.Comment

Nobody is obliged to make an offer to him.Comment

Ortiz can make a bit more money as a stepping stone for up and coming contenders. Good luck to him, but he needs to be realistic with his financial expectations now. He doesn't offer much by way of either money or legacy for anybody.Comment
