Comments Thread For: Joshua Throws Water at Tyson Fury's Lineal Champion Claim

Ortiz won ONE good fight against Jennings three years ago that's it, the Wilder fanbois just want to big him up to make Wilders record look less pathetic.

No one boxes Ortiz because he never fought anyone so has no fans, no one rated him as an ameteur because he got beaten up by Povetkin. Hearn tried to build him up but he stank the house out against average opposition.

lad breazeale, parker and whyte are all limited boxers compared to ortiz, do u buy into everything that comes out of eddie hearn and sky sports? uk heavyweight fans just dont appreciate boxers outside the uk ortiz even in his 40's would smash those guys

To the WBC. Not in my eyes. A strip Donald *****s a unification

That doesn’t matter. Boxing is boxing. You can die tomorrow and the rules won’t change. Even look at my very next post. Eddie Hearn saying “unification *****s mandatory” I linked the article for you and everything

[whatismyname]

come on man u cant consider him unified until he fights wilder or/and fury. he never beat a champion to win them titles ( and dont refer to wlad who spent two years out of the ring after a defeat and was in his 40's).

hes just salty as wilder and fury have grabbed his limelight and hes went from being the guy everyone wanted a piece of to the guy who needs to prove himself after the fight in LA. serves him right for thinking the game was in his hands without having to fight the best, u cant cheat the public

Unified is having two or more titles. So technically he is unified. I do believe he was "postponing" Wilder, but right now I think its the other way around. Wilder needs to accept his biggest payday ever and go see AJ in the UK.

so why did AJ avoid him after hearn confirmed they would fight?

im not america. and a good technician beats a good puncher 9/10

Well not in Ortiz case and considering our debate is based on Ortiz why is it ludicrous to assume fighters such as Joyce and Whyte can live with Ortiz. Technically they are not on his level but every other attribute I feel they ***** Ortiz. Personally I favour Ortiz over Whyte but I definitely favour Joyce over Ortiz.

I will explain and don’t take my Word for it look up what I am saying. Joshua beat Wladimir and became the new WBA champion. He already had the IBF belt.Anyway Luis Ortiz was the mandatory for the WBA . However the IBF obligations had to be met first . Which was Pulev then Luis Next. Luis did not want to wait and figured he will fight the WBC champion Deontay Wilder. Luis Ortiz manager confirms this by the way so there should not be any raised eyebrows. As you know Luis Failed a drug test and the fight with Deontay is off. Meanwhile the WBA bans Ortiz ( which is strange admittedly)wilder offers Luiz another crack at the whip and the rest is history

It is definitely turning.

When AJ made social media posts really, he just gets replies from loads of (probably converted) Fury fans haha

It'll be interesting to see how AJ's show does as you said, if it's not a really top opponent. Ticket sales for his fights have been getting slower and slower. Povetkin didn't even sell out. That's the problem when almost all your fans are casuals, once the novelty wears off, you go downhill quite quickly in terms of popularity.

AJ's dreams are filled with chants of "Gypsy King! Gypsy King!" and cries of "You big dosser!"

About every 3rd reply on his latest social media posts is someone posting a gif of Fury saying "dosser" haha.

Haha! The best part is, Fury is just too articulate and quick-witted for AJ. Imagine them at a press conference or face off? Fury would brutalize him, no doubt forcing Hearn to have to try come to the rescue. They'd both get exposed and verbally sodomized.

i too favour joyce, but no point in putting an up n comer in the argument when he still has to prove himself but he certainly has future world champion written all over him. with his qualitites, and fighting that aggressive hybrid sanchez style he really will be a force to be reckoned with
