    It seems that Hrgovic wants to achieve something and has realized that silence is useless, if only his promoters would offer enough money this fight might happen...

    I think AJ should take one more fight against someone rated 10-15th before going for the top and Hrgovic is a good opponent. If Hrgovic wins - big credit for him, he'll move way forward in the rankings, if AJ manages to beat him in a more impressive way - that'll prove he's up to comeback in the big game. I doubt the fight will happen soon, but will be a good one.

    Joshua KOs. Joshua does better the bigger and slower the opponent.

    Hrgovic scraped a win vs Zhang.

    This is what I like to see. Everybody calling out the bodybuilder. Joshua has nowhere to run now. Call him out on the streets!

    Hrgovic is a poor man’s version of Joshua

    I don't think the battle of those glass chinned giants will go to decision.

    AJ is too experienced for Hrgovic.

    AJ wins by KO.

    I'd back AJ but I don't see any benefit in taking the fight for him.

    There's no money in this fight. Hrgovic is very poorly promoted.

    Once upon a time I rated Hrgovic as the future but since the Zhang fight i've pretty much wrote him off. His performance against Zhang was far worse that AJ's performance vs Franklin!, it was quite worrying to be fair.

    Yeah, he got sent into outer space on a few occasions like there was something wrong with him. Taking some time off probably was smart, but if he's serious about fighting at championship level he needs to make a move. Sitting on the shelf won't help him.

    You wrote him off by showing close fight with 120kg Chinese that hits hard, and did not wrote AJ off when he was almost KO by lightweight where judges had to intervene 8-10 seconds before the belt to not have AJ knocked out by Usyk
