ortiz moved to england, certainly with the goal to fight the top boxers their.

for me, the 2 best heavyweights in the world, how would this mega fight end up. josh is mroe athletic bigger, ortiz more technicle and arguably equaly strong as puncher. to me, ortiz by late tko

Maybe 2018. I expect the plan is to the 2 of them to clean out the division and then meet in a couple of years when AJ has more experience and Ortiz has more grey hairs.

Anthony will get the more lucrative and less potentially banana-skinny and Ortiz will take on whoever from the start. That's my prediction.

I suppose it could happen, but I believe the plan is for Joshua to defend his IBF belt against Molina then take on Wladimir Klitschko for the WBA Super/IBF titles in the spring, with the winner of that contest to fight David Haye in the summer.
Haye might even be the WBO champion by then. I read that he is down to fight the winner of the Parker-Ruiz contest.
Perhaps Tyson Fury will be back on the scene next year to stir things up.

Ortiz ruins Joshua inside 6 rounds! They'll never make that fight while Ortiz is this side 40 years old! Joshua is a big stiff idiot that can punch.. And that's it, he'll get exposed and his career will be over sooner rather than later. How long they can wrap him up in cotton wool for remains to be seen.

He is better than wilder but you are something here, no way they let me near Ortiz this side of Ortiz being 40 as you said. They don't want the cash cow to be turned into hamburger.

Ortiz-Scott November, Ortiz-Allen (crap fight but better than a journeyman I guess) on December 10th and hopefully Ortiz-Whyte in early 2017 to build Ortiz's profile up for a potential fight with Joshua hopefully.

Why are most threads about Joshua followed by replies about how he ain't all that? Geezer clearly has something a bit special and good luck to him. Lets see how far he can go!

He has a punch mate.. And that's it.. If you think that's a bit special, you are just another tiny cog in the big cash cow, getting sucked for pay per view money etc! How can he be special if he ain't had a proper test yet?? I hope he does get better much much better, because he's gonna need more than a punch to be "special"

wlad no fight on plan.

josh is gonne fight molina. ortiz gonne fight malik. both opponents have 0 business in the ring with j and o. molina lost to faterola, molina just c level. maliks weak chin, couldnt survive chisore and wilder, how in hell is he gonne survive a techniqule big puncher which ortiz is? no chance. mo and malik gets wrecked quick. easy fights.

the door is totaly open for Joshua vs Ortiz. in england, certianly in london, maybe even wembley. this is the best heavyweight ortiz against the second best heavyweight in the world. a better fight than froch groves and that was in wembley, so why shouldnt joshua/ortiz be at wembley.

wlad should do, what he does best and fight some b-c level boxer like moremeck :lol: glazkov looks much smaller than wlad, perfect opponent for him to hug and wrestle :doh: :lol: :yay:
