    The ducking of Hrgovic by so many heavyweights is just shameful. I don't even think the guy is that good, but so many people are just running scared.

    Parker vs Hrgovic would be a far better fight because Parker is a younger and better fighter and poses a bigger threat to Hrgovic, I hope the fight will happen...

    Ortiz just had a fight where he was knocked down twice. He is probably not even thinking about fighting again yet. Give the 63 year old some time to rest.

    I am calling it now. Parker does not take the Hrgovic fight either. Will all of you call it a duck just like Ortiz?

    I did. Ortiz ducked Hrgovic, we all know that.

    Tyson Fury has nothing to do with this topic.

    I like the Parker v Hrgovic match up, Ortiz v Ruiz would be good too. Also, Ruiz v Hrg would be fascinating.

    Since Ortiz is coward, It's Parker vs Hrgovic.

    I want Hrgovic to replace Parker in those rankings. He has to prove that he is top 10 right now.

    "Looking for a decent payday with little risk." That basically describes his entire career. It's not the first time he's ducked an eliminator he ducked Ustinov twice in 2016 for a WBA title eliminator which the IBF also decided to make an eliminator. He would of been the mandatory for the WBA and IBF. When he was the WBA mandatory for Joshua he instead of waiting his turn after Povetkin and making millions decided to make 500K vs Wilder only to fail a drug test.

    He seems to have had very little desire throughout his career. He's avoided eliminators, been happy to fight for small purses against easy opposition, ducked one champion to fight another for less money and less prestige because he saw it as an easier fight like most did. Even said no to a 7 million payday which is almost probably as much as he'd earned his entire career up to that point, if not more.

    Could be old Olympic rival Yoka who takes it. Got a feeling Parker might have rotator trouble..

    Oh, that’s convenient. C+ Ortiz ducks his first step up. Colour me shocked.

    A broken hand like those broken hands that Wilder got against Fury?

    You know, the ones that you posted iStock and Getty images of as proof - only for me to debunk them via your pals at Lions Den Community and they redacted 2 videos and blocked me from their YouTube channels.

    Cute, but a duck is a duck.

    Wilders best win is nothing more than a 50 year old, C level heavyweight.

    Today would duck it as hebdid before when previously offered the Hrgovic fight.

    I will be surprised if Parker or if not Joyce doesn't take it. The again I was surprised when Hunter turned it down.
