    Hrgovic needs to be tested in the pros before we can really give him a ranking.
    Haven't seen anything from him yet.

    Hrgovic would win. Joyce has always been too slow and won because Dubois gave up. UK fans might think Joyce is all that but he slow, Hrgovic best him to the punch and Joyce isn't getting any younger. It;'s too bad Hunter back out their fight. Hrgovic will likely get the winner between Usyk and Joshua.

    What an entertaining fight. Joyce won a debatable decision but took a tremendous amount of punishment in the process. The man's skull is his greatest asset.

    That fight was in the amateurs when Joyce was a grown man at 27, Hrgovic was only 20. Joyce had okay speed back then. The result means nothing other than Hrgovic showing he can take a punch. Now Hrgovic is a man.

    That is my exact main point here. One guy is prime when he was as green as **** last time, and the other guy is post prime after being prime last time.

    Ages and primes matter in boxing!

    Also Hrgovic may look sloppy recently because he has been facing cream puffs. With all the will
    in the world you aren’t as switched on when you know you easily beat the opponent!
