AJ, AJ, AJ...puleeeeeze..."what's your favorite ice-cream." "I don't know, but AJ would've licked it!"

Or just Ortiz vs Any Top 20 Heavyweight would be interesting.

Honestly though Ortiz himself didn't seem too interested in announcing any "next fight" or anything last night. He may be ready to just call it a career. We'll see.

Would love to see Povetkin/Ortiz and then wave goodbye to both...

Cannot happen, Haymon and Riabinski must settle the lawsuit issues first...

I'm fine...just laughed too hard at your assessment. Seems everything here is based on the great Anthony Joshua. No one talks about the entertainment we were blessed to see as fight fans last evening. That is all...lay off the lead paint 'mate.'

I would like to see him in an evenly-matched fight that is most likely to reveal something. So basically someone in the #3-7 range, like Povetkin, Pulev, Parker, or Miller.

Any of the contenders fighting each other for any reason would be welcome at Heavyweight. Most of the fighters at Heavy got thin resumes...even the guys at the top.

I'm actually extremely curious of what we're going to get on Tyson Fury's re-entrance. He is so difficult to fight I almost agree with him about giving fits to every heavyweight out there. He's like a tall strong Jimmy Young...so unconventional and so very tough.

He'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.

I expect when he comes back they'll match him against 1 or 2 of the softest, easiest marks they can find just to let him get a win and then feed him to AJ.

I have no doubt whatsoever that AJ beats him. Wilder would too. They're athletes. Not fat tubs of sh*t that win staring contests.

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.
