    He goes the the body more than most. He throws punches in bunches. Has not gone past 8. What's his potential? He fights Zhang next.

    All these big goofs need to get a move on. I know it looks like folks are ducking Hrgovic, but this entire next class of HW's is fookin lame.

    Things are gonna be SPARSE in 3 years unless some of these guys start building themselves up.

    Its sparse who they fight right now! I say give the young guys some time. Like Hrgovic. He's on the 15th Pro fight. Headed for a title shot. He looks like the real deal. None can take his power for long and he got a grade A chin. That's tough to beat. Skills and accuracy are there too. His opponents lack the give up efforts for the most part. Watch out! Zhang and his silver medal in the Olympics will be 5h person to lose his undefeated record. I predict and easy night for Hrgovic, after that boxing fans will finally take notice.

    He doesn't impress me that much. Doesn't have much defense, and whereas he has been sold for two-fisted power, he looks like he does a lot better with the right to me. He also sometimes seems to have Michael Moorer/Charles Martin type concentration problems...maybe he's just bored, I don't know.

    Don't get me wrong...he's arguably no worse than the rest of the sub-par prospects out there. He could go far on being big, rugged, hard hitting with the right, and aggressive when he's awake. But he doesn't knock my socks off.

    He is an offensive fighter throwing ( with accuracy ) shots and applying pressure which mean he can but so what his chin can take it. Since he blows out his opponents some of whom are in there to fight I don't see the lack of focus problems that you do. He flustered with the rest avoiding him. I would not call the rest of the up and coming guys sub-par. They are big and can hit. I call them unproven, which should end for Hrgovic after he fight Zhang. Zhang is a Tyson Fury or Dontay Wilder level opponent.

    Chin is no the only element of defense. When they hit you, they score points.

    If you don't, see it, you don't see it. I can't prove it to you.

    This is a subpar crop. Lots of guys are big and can hit. It is real skills that make a boxer.

    He out landed his opponents in every round and does not fight scared. He should have won gold in the Olympics he was robbed, and kicked @ss in the very pro like world seiners of boxing. It's not like he lacks skills. He is skilled.

    That is proven, the fact that he gets hit form time to time is due to his confrontational style in boxing. He does not fight safe and does have quick feet. He's very tall, has an excellent reach, good hand speed, good power, great chin Heart is good too. Never floored as an amateur or pro.

    I think he will lose to Frank Sanchez and then disappear.

    I think that Hrgovic will not get a chance to prove himself at all, unfortunately he will continue to beat irrelevant fighters until the end of his career, I doubt that the fight against Zhang will happen...

    Hrgovic v Joyce could be a classic

    Took four 0's and fought the opponents he could. People avoid him, is Zhang good enough?
