    IBF ordered a fight for interim champion belt which was to be Hrgovic vs Ruiz. That didnt happen. Who is next on the line? Martin Bakole was IT, but for some reason he was demoted 6 spots on IBF ladder, has he refused the fight? The next is Frank Sanchez, who has 21 fights and I dont remmember the last time I saw him fight. Below him is Agit Kabayel. Both of these fighters arent high profile like Ruiz so they shouldnt decline Hrgovic fight due to monetary reasons. What do you think?

    I would prefer Sanchez to fight Hrgovic because he would somehow represent a bigger challenge for him, it would be a good remedial test for Hrgovic to convincingly beat Sanchez...

    Would be a great fight since they had common opponents in the amateurs and Hrgovic looked better.

    Sanchez is dirty-ish, very resourceful, and at times surprisingly awkward. Also a surprising amount of heart for a Cuban.

    Sanchez would knock him out cold.

    It would be a great fight. Both are killers and for sure more interesting that current duck&talk champions.

    He has the power, but does he have the will to fight him. It is up to Frank now.

    Sanchez would win on points, comfortably. Very one-sided fight.

    A fight where both fighters risk their career, both huge, both at the top. It would be a bloodfest. The more thirsty one will win.

    Nahh that fight aint ending on points, that is for sure. And after looking at sanchez he doesnt seem like technical boxer, or at least not at the Hrgovic level. He is fast and he is powerfull.

    Hrgovic has close to a granite chin. Betting odds on Frank stopping him would be huge.

    If Sanchez becomes the mandatory for Fury, Fury will vacate his WBC belt. Sanchez is all wrong for Fury and Fury knows that very well.

    I have a feeling Usyk and Sanchez will fight each other for the undisputed heavyweight championship at one point.

    Hrgovic and Zhang would turn Frank Sanchez into Frank Cotton. So stop deluding yourselves.
