    Luis ortiz ducking a good fighter again doesn't surprise me in theslightest. Everyone knew it would happen apart from the Wilder fans.

    Now Parker vs Hrgovic - that's a very good fight!

    If not Parker Hrgovic, make Hughie Fury vs Hrgovic.

    Fury is with Boxxer, Hrgovic with the Sauerlands, a big Heavyweight fight on Sky Sports.

    A great fight. Parker wins. It will also boost the resume of Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte!

    This would be a top 3 HW fight of The year in my opinion. I believe Hrgovic would bring out the very best version of Parker.

    I think parker takes that fight up. Both are with Hearn so its easier to make. Hrgovic untested. For parker its one thing to beat a faded chisora and look good. Hrgovic is a huge man with a decent right hand. If its parker who sits back and waits on hrgovic hes gonna be in trouble.

    No doubt this is a Huge duck by Ortiz but he is 42 years old. I don’t see him as anything more than a gatekeeper now , looking for decent payday with little risk.

    Ortiz learned from Wilder, just fight enough cans and you will be considered great

    Ortiz is quacking. A title fight eliminator. How else does he expect to get a title shot?

    Parker would be a big step up for Hrgovic. An interesting fight and test for Filip.

    Ortiz knows all about Hrgovic because he beat 3 of his top amateur countrymen in the unpaid ranks and WSB. Didn't just beat them he stopped them. Lenier Pero currently 6-0 in the pros, Yoandry Toirac, and Jose Larduet currently 7-0 in the pros.

    Ortiz's buddy The Tuscaloser likely warned him to swerve him too after experiencing first hand what he could do in the gym when Hrgovic was like 19 or 20 y/o and still an amateur and he was 28-0 and 28 y/o. The Tuscaloser also saw Hrgovic slice open Haye's eye during that camp, which obviously is the reason Haye had to pull out of the Tyson Fury fight.

    Probably caught wind of Hrgovic stopping Dubois in sparring too.

    The whole top 15 of the IBF turned down an eliminator against this Hrgovic "bum" and a guaranteed IBF title shot should they beat him and this is hardly the best version Hrgovic can be. Ortiz, Hunter, and Martin among them. But maybe Parker will step up to the plate, who FTR, Hrgovic beat in 2010.

    Hrgovic is going to show Parker what real power is.

    I know that Fury is going to duck too. Does everybody also know that?
