If Hrgovic loses, does that mean the end for him?

    Zhang has power, what if Hrgovic's defense fails and Zhang knocks him out?

    I really don't think he will lose to Zhang and even if he does it will 100% not be the end for him. I expect him to pick up a title possibly but not do too much more than that.

    With that said, he is not the great hope that his rabid following here are making him out to be.

    He is 29.

    One loss is nothing at that age.

    He will be the World champion after Usyk if boxing politics don't get in the way

    Zhang has power but that's it,
    Zhang is just another Wilder and Ajagba, too one dimensional for someone like Hrgovix. Hrgovic even if he stands too up right up at times and sticks chin out eg when Molina hurt him - Hrgovic is still huge favourite for good reason.

    He hasn`t even started as far as I`m concerned, he`s never beaten a top 10 heavyweight.

    Hrgovic hasn't really been tested yet so we don't really know how good he is.
    I would expect him to beat Zhang if however loses he can come back it would just depend on the nature of the loss.

    When did it start for him?

    You're giving him way too much praise, he isn't anything special.

    Yeah, this, sadly he'd probably make more money in the 18 months after a loss than he will after he ktfo Zhang.

    Didnt Zhang beat him in the ams? Not that I personally care about such things. Not too schooled on Hrgo and have only seen a couple of his fights but I do think he is very good and theres a reason nobody has wanted to face him.

    Double Z is a bum, who literally went life and death with Forrest. He had kidney failure, liver damage etc.

    You mean he will be world champion if he is gifted a shot at an average contender for a vacant belt? He is not and never will be in the top 4 HWs

    The end? No, far from it. He is just starting.

    Zhang poses little risk to Filip, IMO.

    Everytime you fight hard opposition you run the risk of losing. As a boxing fan thats exactly what I wish for. At the same time the fans need to stop discrediting losses in top matchups. Its time for some more maturity in the sport.

    You badly overestimate the HW division. Whyte is a top 4 HW, I am sure Hrgovic can get there by the time Usyk and Fury retire.
