How many more times does Hrgovic have to be ducked before he becomes mandatory?

    You've listed the CURRENT rankings of the people Hrgovic faced. They were ranked higher when he fought them.

    Hrgovic is seen as "high risk, high reward" - it is a high reward to become IBF mandatory.

    That being said, I think people like Ortiz and Parker are overrating him - he's not as invincible as they seem to believe.

    Once we get down the list to Dustin Nichols, he will accept. This might be his last chance at a legitimate world heavyweight title.

    I think so as well. Parker has the style to beat him imo.

    If Hrgovic is so easily beatable by the Ortizes and Parkers, why do they run from him. None of these 'top' fighters has the balls to fight him.

    What if Usyk give up his belt instead of fighting him for the title? For shame it can happen. By the time they get together Usyk will be old,

    You need MONEY backing you to make a fight with the big boys

    Hrgovic brings so little that it is not seen as a worthwhile matchup

    He also has not built up a following to generate a crowd

    How do you say duck in Kiwi? Whatever the amount is bigger than Parker's Next fight. He won't fight usyk for fury next either.

    IBF should just make him mandatory.

    There are a lot of prima donnas and craven Nancy boys in the heavyweight division.

    A win over Hrgovic would lead to a huge payday against the IBF champion, and a chance of winning a world title which would bring future big money.

    Flip Hamburger needs to stop ducking and fight somebody.

    Make a reasonable offer to top guys before whining about them not fighting you.

    Hrgovic is not a promoter. He is directly in the path to a mandatory though, and that alone should be enticing.

    You can’t duck someone who doesn’t even make an offer to fight you.

    That’s like ‘so-and-so calls out so-and-so’ — which is code for ‘please pay me big money to fight you.’

    Looks to me like Flip is ducking everyone if his team isn’t making any reasonable offers to fight top guys.

    They are making reasonable offers, 40% and if you win you fight the champ, wtf could be more reasonable?

    Forty percent of what, exactly? What did Flip’s promotion bid that his opponent is going to get 40 percent of? And why should anyone get a lower percentage than a guy whose best win is over well-past-it Eric Molina, lol?
