    No one is ducking or dodging Ortiz . So Whyte agrees to a Fury eliminator fight but not an Ortiz fight ????

    Ortiz just backed out of fighting AJ on June 1st.

    Is there a signed contract? Whyte’s words are inconsistent with his actions.

    A signed contract to fight fury, how would that have come about? He’s just signed to fight Rivas.

    Question, Why would anybody duck Fury?

    Because they’re trying to clear the path to Wilder without fighting Fury?

    Whyte ain't trying to get to Wilder and neither is Fury. The best way to get to Wilder is to go through Fury.

    He makes everybody look bad because of his reach and his ability to evade shots.

    Backed out is a light way of putting it . Calling him and his team a bunch of liars is far more appropriate , they were claiming low-ball offers and saying AJ and Hearn were not serious . Ortiz and his team got exposed badly during this and now everyone is questioning what is Ortiz serious about ?

    Ortiz ducked AJ, Whyte fought AJ.

    So by your logic, Ortiz is more of a coward than Whyte.

    This is not my logic. I have no clue how that was assumed to be my logic by you.

    I honestly do not think truly any boxer is ducking any boxer this includes Wilder , I think this is some promoters (Haymon , Finkel and Arum) thinking they can milk this . The best hope is TV networks and other groups like DAZN and ESPN+ putting these fights together . TV networks command a lot of power and can make and break a boxer more than a promoter . It's honestly a little sad that Whyte is called a ducker , I've never seen Whyte back down from a challenge , to be truthful he has probably has the best year and a half out of any HW boxer , his form has held up and I really got him as the number 3 guy . Browne , Parker and Chisora are no bloated boxers they are top 10 contenders and he has fought them all consecutively .

    The division is looking pretty stacked where the landscape can change anytime , there are no shortage of challengers and quality HW fights to happen . I'm looking forward too the next few months and seeing what happen during these next fights let alone a year from now . Even the British and Commonwealth division is looking tense with top fights happening .

    It's only AJ , Whyte , Wilder and Fury fighting each other where there is stagnation . The only certain fight we know is coming is AJ V Whyte soon , via mandatory or voluntary .
