    Ortiz laboured to a PED assisted win against an out of shape Dave Allen.

    Even older and no assistance and he still gave wilder a hard time.

    Beyonce is laughably limited and will do well to survive 3 rounds against Joshua.

    I don't think so. I think Ortiz would have been stopped in about 7 rounds by Joshua.

    Yes this is what both angers and saddens me the most.

    The fact that Ortiz should have had a big pay day long ago which he was undoubtedly entitled to.

    Yet both Eddie Hearn and Joshua decided to follow through with a plan to take money and food off the man amd his family's plate out of fear while Ortiz pleaded and begged them to see reason.

    That is unforgivable.

    This. Ortiz signed with Hearn for the Joshua fight, but all Hearn did was waste his time. Ortiz was even the WBA mandatory and let Joshua fight Wlad when he could've forced his mandatory status. After the Wlad fight Hearn used his influence to force the Pulev fight instead of the Ortiz fight, since Pulev is a scrub and easy competition compared to Ortiz.

    This is exactly why Wilder wouldn't face Whyte, since he knew Hearn would just waste his time. I also think it's hilarious that people are comparing Takam to Ortiz. The same Takam, who couldn't beat Perez and was easily beaten by Povetkin and Parker would get destroyed by Ortiz. Takam was landing a ton of body shots on Joshua, but Takam has zero power. If that were Ortiz Joshua would be on the canvas.
