All we are asking for here, is for the best to face the best. Other sports have no problem with that rule, because despite the politics there is some form of accountability at play and rules that everyone respects (with the exception of PEDs). Boxing as a sport, and the fans, need to demand that the best face the best always, and not accept this BS.
The only folk who believe they’ll put the chinny robot back in with the guy who just sonned him and made him quit in his first fight outside his backyard, are those sporting a match room scarf and a sky season ticket. My call immediately after the fight was someone like Allen/chisora and I’m sticking to that.
No. The thing that caught up with Ortiz last time was he simply didn’t have the legs anymore. A year later where he’s looked less impressive than ever is gona prove even more brutal.
You might be right. I think I've missed Ortiz's subsequent fights so I'm not sure what he's been looking like since. Still, gotta be an improvement on Breazeale.
I just think it happens a lot earlier this time. 4-6 I’ll be backing. One thing is certain, we all agree Ortiz is getting KO’d. This is why I’m saying it’s pointless.
I'm hoping it will be. Even if Ortiz has declined in the meantime, he's got to still be a clear level better than everyone that Wilder has ever beat ! He is, after all, about the only good heavyweight Wilder has on his win column.
Davison said Schwarz was picked for his height. So they will likely stick to the plan of fighting guys who are 6'5. Likely with padded records who don't pose a big threat before the Wilder fight. Maybe someone like Otto Wallin.
Easy fight with someone past their best so as not to risk the value of the Wilder rematch So Joshua it is then....
Kubrat Pulev would be okay. Pulev is legit top 10. Jarrell Miller's a bum but I'd enjoy watching Fury shut him down and shut him up.
