I thought the same thing when I first read the tweet in the thread starter. Like, 'Damn, how long are they planning on waiting? Ortiz isn't young.'. But I think Abel means that Joyce is not as proven as Luis Ortiz and needs at least two wins worthy of a feather in his cap before he would confidently match him against Ortiz. Not that Luis Ortiz is overall more physically talented at this point.
With Ortiz turning 40 soon, hopefully this potential bout takes place before the end of next summer. If Ortiz is their goal, he should be Joyce's 10th or 11th fight.
I've never seen Joe Joyce fight but if he impresses against Stiverne, I'd like to see him against someone like Kownacki.
