Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
Won't even begin to analyze Fury's worth until he finally ends his 10 year sabbatical---no sure thing---and steps into the ring.
Unlikely Ortiz will retire. If he's still fighting at 38, he must enjoy it. And if he's really 100, as some if you claim, then he'll probably still be fighting long after Wilder and Joshua retire.
Maybe a matchup with Big Baby Miller next if the Joshua fight falls through.
But if Ortiz isn't damaged goods after last night's crushing KO, he might be far too experienced for Miller.

That's a great idea. Parker Ortiz.Syntax Error wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 14:50 He should try & target the loser of Joshua v Parker.
He's still a big name with some cachet.
PS: He should be nicked The Camel instead of King Kong: He's forever spitting in the ring!![]()

Be some money in it I recon.

It won't happen but I'd pay a weeks wages to see Ortiz-Povetkin

Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
Yes because fury has wonderful form for all the staring contests he's been in. Dull as shit when on his game no doubt, doesn't mean he's not effective and very difficult to beat. The feints and movement alone are enough to give any hw an issue, I don't see many others able to do that kind of thing and they don't know how to respond to it.gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 16:19 Briggs would be a good opponent for Fury's comeback because Briggs has the attention of a few Boxing nerds on the internet, and is at least perceived by some morons to be a threat still. So that might be a good win for Fury to come back on. Briggs would be mildly dangerous for about 120 seconds and then Fury could just win a staring contest...we know he loves that.
I'd like to see ortiz against a fringe contender next, maybe a whyte or brown winner, Miller could be fun, Washington or brezeale even.

Briggs and Fury have been yacking about fighting each other but who knows.gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 16:19 Briggs would be a good opponent for Fury's comeback because Briggs has the attention of a few Boxing nerds on the internet, and is at least perceived by some morons to be a threat still.

Fury even claimed he's sending out contracts to both Briggs and Tarver (why?) but as expected, it appears to be just a lot of talk.
I have a feeling, given Briggs' age and Fury's endless hiatus, a bout between them would 10 deadly monotonous rounds.
"Boxing nerds" and "morons." I have a hunch that accurate description of Briggs' groupies might rattle the sensitivities of a certain someone here.

He's effective against guys that just follow him around and don't do sh*t. Wilder or Joshua would bomb on his ass like he stole something from 'em.Yes We Can wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 16:34Yes because fury has wonderful form for all the staring contests he's been in.

Maybe they would, but I don't see them being so hung home against somebody so big, even if he doesn't carry to much power....gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 16:36He's effective against guys that just follow him around and don't do sh*t.

And what about when his movement and his feints throw there rhythm, and they start second guessing when to throw and what to throw etc.
Of course I'm presuming tyson the Dyson is still as he were, which isn't likely.
Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
If Fury can get into shape and fight like before the suspension, he's a tough beat for anyone.

Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
..I don't think Ortiz was doing that badly against Wilder..not sure how it would have ended, had Wilder not thrown him down half way out of the ring a minute before the knockdown...anyway, juicing aside, I 'd like to see him against Povetkin..

Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
Oh, I don't know, that makes me wonder even more why Wilder prefered to fight Ortiz for 2 mil instead of Whyte for 5 mil. I also think Ortiz is better just before the Wilder fight. Not sure if he still is in 6 months.tiny_acres wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 20:18Isn't this a wbc final eliminater?
Whites #1 contender I can't see him risking it.
But I'd pick Ortiz to beat either

Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
Fury picked Wlad apart. Joshua may have given a more entertaining fight with Wlad, but Joshua struggled mightily, whereas Fury had an easy time of it. It's quite possible that if Fury is in peak form, he may pick part Joshua as well, and maybe Wilder too. Fury has the most height and reach of the good big men, and has an easy time of shutting down other skilled big men.gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 16:08He's a fat tub of sh*t that won his title in a staring contest. Wilder or Joshua both flatten him inside 5 rounds. He's a joke, and a disgrace to the sport.
Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
It's honestly hilarious the way Tyson Fury gets to maintain this "Heavyweight Pernell Whitaker" image in the minds of you guys based off of the worst fight of all time, and a near 3 year hiatusLackeos wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 22:39Fury picked Wlad apart.

Comparing Fury to Jimmy Young?
The same slippery, defensive whiz Jimmy Young who fought in the 70s and into the 80s?
That Jimmy Young?
Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
It's hilarious that you are too dumb to acknowledge how great of an accomplishment it is to dominate Wlad.gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 23:03It's honestly hilarious the way Tyson Fury gets to maintain this "Heavyweight Pernell Whitaker" image in the minds of you guys based off of the worst fight of all time, and a near 3 year hiatusLackeos wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 22:39Fury picked Wlad apart.

Re: Who should Ortiz fight next?
Big Baby Miller would destroy the old man... Ortiz is done... The youngsters outlasted him and he won't get better at 39 and 40... It's over dude... You should have finished Wilder in the 7th... Where were your cool and short hard flurries??
