    If usyk didn't duck December this wouldn't be happening

    Fury will batter him if he gets him in the ring

    Usyk needs to schedule this ASAP and get it over with, as quick as possible, so he can be free to fight Fury by April or so

    Why did they skip over Joe Joyce or better fighters and allow a fighter all the way down the ranks a chance at the belt?

    Then another body decides they want to mandate their "mandatory"

    Boxing is a corrupt joke of a sport

    The fighters have to take control and use their power - DROP THE BELT

    It's very simple.

    Then AJ & Hearn will buy the IBF belt AGAIN which HOLDS NO LEGITAMACY

    I think Usyk will regret not taking the December Fury fight. He’s going to be shot by the time he fights Fury late next year.

    No 37 year old bloated 220 pound cruiserweight on the planet can beat Tyson Fury. Usyk is 35...he has a slim chance still he has to drop the IBF belt.

    The bodybuilder will buy the belt yet again....a fake manufactured champion.
    Always was always will be.

    He stopped Chazz Whitterspoon. He almost stopped Chisora and Joshua.

    Now that he has enough experience, he will definitely stop the low-talented, slow, clunky and inexperienced Hrgovic easily. 100% certain. Unanimous decision is out of the question.

    Dwyer has Hrgovic winning this fight.

    He's really big on him.

    Don't sleep on Hrg

    Hrgovic has been Dwyer's hipster, contrarian pick for the last year. He's sticking by him even though he's going to be a busted flush.

    What's the problem?
    Fury is fighting in December and everyone knows that he's not gonna fight (for the undisputed) before July/August 2023 anyways.

    And it's a good thing they refused to fight him because he did absolutely nothing to earn a ****ing title eliminator.

    A good win? How is beating 50 year old Zhang considered that much of a good win? Who's Hrgovic's best win outside of Zhang? Molina? Booker? These guys would get KO'd by Chisora or Takam ffs.

    Hrgovic hasn't earned a title shot, he hasn't even earned an eliminator.

    He really struggled vs Zhang, and in reality he should be calling out Zhang for a rematch or calling out someone like Takam or Dubois.

    If you're just scraping a win 114-113 vs Zhang you're going to get decimated vs Usyk.

    Chisora and Takam would lose to Zhang. If the entire top 15 avoided the Hrgovic fight, then it only makes sense for him being mandatory as I am sure the Zhang fight was a final eliminator.
