Ortiz is a nightmare for Joshua money train. He is unknown outside the core boxing community. The real King Kong can Def stop AJ
I can see Ortiz beating Joshua if he comes in ready and in the best shape of his career. He'll have to be at his best to beat him though. But Ortiz has some very good pop.
I would love this fight to get made but I don't think Joshua and his handlers will go for it. I would favour Joshua but I rate Ortiz pretty highly and would expect him to have some success and possibly even pull the upset. I would love Ortiz to get a shot at any of the belt holders and besides AJ, I would favour him over the rest. Although he is correctly criticised for his lack of speed, his precision and all round boxing ability make up for it. Any potential fights have to happen for him sooner rather than later however as he is about 40 years old. Joshua TKO
It's not outside the realm of possibility. Sadly, he'll never get the chance. Cubans don't register, apparently.
Yup Something about those Cubans. Lara, Rigo, and now Ortiz. Just ignore them and they effectively disappear
Would be an interesting fight, Kong's style suits this fight. I don't think this fight will happen though as it is so risky, and for not a lot of reward for AJ. There are 'bigger' named fighters out there that aren't as such a big risk for AJ. My ideal would be to an Aj vs Fury and then a Ortiz vs Wilder. Then a fight between the winners.
It would be a good fight and one for the hardcore fans. I just hope Ortiz doesn't self sabotage himself again and gets his shot. Ortiz will be dangerous, he hits hard and is an adept counter puncher, he could catch AJ with something big on the way in. But I still favour Joshua. Ortiz doesn't move well, he has pretty slow feet and his style is to sit back and let fighters come to him, that's when he excels. Against a bigger man like Joshua who himself has become a counter puncher he's going to be at a style disadvantage as he'll be forced to stalk down Joshua and while Joshua isn't as agile as Scott he's a much more dangerous on the counter.
The deluded old fool will be in a pensioners home by the time he's mandated to fight Joshua, playing chess with Tony Thompson. Overrated punk. Go rematch Scott and get him out of there like Chisora did.
