    I know that of course, but if we're looking at the performance, (which we should), they're not great.

    A guy well behind who pulls it out with a huge shot is the fair and square winner, but it's not as impressive as they guy who was coasting to victory and does the same. Especially when we're saying this is the best guy Wilder has ever beaten.

    ortiz was offered 6million then 7million dollars and those offers were made public by Hearn in response to Ortiz and his team saying they were being low balled...he subsequently goes on to fight wilder a second time for a fraction of that 1.5 million so that's a blatant duck imo.where are you getting the £2.5 million btw did you just make that up? As for the southpaw problems meh I'm not buying that sounds a bit far fetched tbh considering everything that's happened since.

    Of course Hearn did, he was getting a lot of stick for trying to low ball Ortiz and Whyte at short notice, whether you believe him is up to you but he is about a credible source as Tony Hayer's on this. Joshua struggled with southpaws as an amateur, Charles Martin is one thing, Luis Ortiz is another.
