Comments Thread For: Stiverne Rejects Luis Ortiz Fight: I Have Bigger Fish To Fry!

[Deletrious]

Lol shameless duck. Let's go down the list and see if Pulev wants it.

Seems ridiculous Ortiz can only have the mandatory against one belt at a time. I get not ranking other belt holders but why bar being mandatory for multiple belts? Makes it too hard for avoided fighters to get fights.

I'd love to see Ortiz/Miller, put Ortiz on top 5 of every ranking. But Miller doesn't want it, already talking about only taking fight if he guaranteed shot at belt next.

Hard to sympathize for Bermaine after failing VADA I'm on the record in support of Pedvetkin advancing to face Wilder -- this was before he ( Sasha) also failed. Nevertheless I am wondering what other former world champion has had so many political obstacles to overcome in order to get a shot at the title he onces held? remember he beat Arreola in a eliminator to face Vitali Klitsckho ; when Vitali retired he had to face Arreola again for the title because they were the highest ranked by the WBC.

Now once again he agrees to the WBC's stipulations vs. Pedvetkin but Alexander fails his test ( once again derailing Stivernes course to the world title ) and isn't it funny that this sanctioning body issues a another eliminator vs. another PED cheat in Luis Ortiz....I mean why they doing this to Bermaine? why they hating?!!

Guys, he meant that literally. He doesn't have time to fight Ortiz, he's gotta stay home and eat.

When someone works as hard to squander their career as Stiverne does, they develop quite the appetite, ya know?

Stiverne has a burning hunger, so rather than satisfy it by defeating top-ranked contenders, he's going to have a fish-fry. Heard Arreola's coming.

How old is Wilder? How old is Joshua? Didn't somebody else just back out of Ortiz fight?

Like I said, old man got these young boys (and old Stiverne) running scared

You're an idiot. The only people Ortiz is chasing away are the drug testers.

[BrometheusBob.]

He was OK with fighting Povetkin, who had failed a drug test in his previously scheduled bout, but not Luis Ortiz? Unless he is in the midst of making a deal for a fight with someone at least as big as Ortiz (and I can't imagine who that might be), this is a duck.

LMFAO, Stiverne about to lose his WBC no.1 spot is Whyte the next in line to face Ortiz ?

Pulev mandatory will be first for Joshua Klitschko winner, Pulev earns more facing Joshua than another eliminator in Ortiz and facing Wilder. He ain't takin this fight.

Who's next in line is it the Whyte Chisora WBC eliminator winner Whyte ?

Looks like Stiverne is about to lose his number 1 spot with the WBC. Good, if this is the way he behaves when a good fight comes along.
