Only heavyweight who matches up to him size wise and skill wise. Usyk got the skill, but not the size.
Right now I'd say AJ and Usyk are still bigger threats to him than Hrgovic. Filip is still too inexperienced and Is also even stiffer and slower than AJ, though he has a better chin and has a deeper amateur background
Usyk & AJ. Hrgovic though talented, has not fought top competition yet, let's wait until he faces resistance
Who promotes Hrgovic currently ? Can he realsitically get into the picture anytime soon ? I am a Fury fan amd back him to beat someone like AJ, mainly because he can adapt, and remains relaxed even when under duress ...BUT...i hope he doesnt get too confident after the latesy Wilder win....i trust Fury to be intelligent enough to know that a diffwrent game plan would be required against most other top HWs. AJ is accused of being stiff but his footspeed and head movement is head and shoulders above Wilder....Fury would have to be a lot more savvy against AJ, who can box and has power....but i still fancy a well prepared and switched on Fury to wear him down and win on points, same result v a Dillian Whyte....i dont expect Fury to stop either...... as much as I root for Fury, i felt that wilder capitulated much faster than the likes of AJ and Whyte would, wilder just has this ability of being done but just about remaining uoright round after round....but that could be down to Fury not having that proper concussive punch power...or maybe because after a few rounds wilder absorbed most big punches whikst going back and leaning right back on the ropes Who knows....but having watched back a few recent Aj and Whyte fights this week...it highlighted just how terrible wilder is once you remove punch power and heart
Usyk is biggest threat if he gets the fight in next 12 months. Fury didn’t look great against Wilder. He may have been bored but he was overweight and packing on pounds in between fights is never good. His reaction time was slow and his punches while very heavy didn’t look too snappy. Wilder presents very few dimensions too. Basically a step in 1-2 if you can avoid that all night you can win.
Probably. Hrgovic's star is o the rise, Fury's is in the decline and may not have the will to get in shape. Hrgovic is more skilled and IMO has the better chin in comparison to Wilder who nearly took Fury out and knocked him down 4x.
No, Usyk, Joyce and AJ are bigger threats than Hrgovic right now. Hrgovic is good but he's nowhere near experienced enough as a pro to be anything other than a massive underdog to Fury. Also Hrgovic's style I don't think matches up too well vs Fury. Hrgovic relies too much on his size and he's smaller than Fury, his lean back defence will see him get caught a lot vs someone with Fury's size and reach.
Why the hell is everyone so high on Hrgovic? What the hell has he ever done to warrant such hype? In answer to the question, no, I don't think this big stiff Vitali lookalike poses the slightest threat to Fury, and I doubt he poses a threat to his daddy Joyce as well.
Why he looks like the next champion. He's big, he can hit, he's very accurate, he take a great punch and never need floored as an amateur or professional, he young, he's eager to fight, etc.. You don't get it. He might be a little stiff but he savages guys in the gym. Years back he gave Wilder heat in the gym and made Haye cancel his upcoming fight. He's much better now.
Sooner or later you gain experience in the gym. He does't rely on his size and is better than Wilder who floored Fury 4x. The defensively average Fury is in for it...I'm telling you. He hasn't fought any young skilled guys. None unless you consider Wallin skilled and the made a mess of him with that cut. Hrgorvic is the best offensive fighter he would be in the ring with in years.
