How good is Hrgovic?

Against Usyk right now he is clearly the underdog. But in 2 years time it might be different.

I would rate him as a favourite against Kabayel though.

I doubt he faces Fury or AJ, they are previous era and on the way out. Hrgovic has been number one contender for one of the belts for a while now and neither have faced him.

Let’s face it Hrgovic is 31 and doesn’t have any miles on the clock in the ring. It will get interesting in the next 5-6 years.

 

Hrgovic, in ring,
Like Frankenstein, slow and plain,
Meandering fight.

 

I know you are just answering the OP, but everyone is a clear underdog to Usyk; he shouldn't be stalling out a mandatory challenger for years

Yeah, people forget the IBF mandated the final eliminator with Hunter in February 2022.
Now with Usyk v Fury 2 delayed until December 2024, that will be...(Quick Google)...

1,032 days

Remember the outrage in the newspapers and across the internet for Dillian Whyte. It's crickets or excuses regarding Hrgovic

 

He doesn’t deserve a shot.

 

Hrgovic beat Zhilei Zhang

How did previous challengers earn a title shot?

Dubois - beat Trevor Bryan
Whyte - beat Oscar Rivas
Usyk - CW undisputed
Pulev - beat Hughie Fury
Breazeale - beat Eric Molina
Povetkin - beat Christian Hammer (?)
Joshua - bought the shot, but beat Whyte
Parker - beat Carlos Takam (?)
Fury - beat Christian Hammer
Wilder - "beat" Malik Scott

Hrgovic did more than most

 

TBH we don’t really know how good Hrgovic is,Zhang stepped up to fight him when others would not as he was the big bad Boogey Man of the division,Hrgovic got the nod but looked anything but special and imo Zhang should have got the win. Zhang has gone on to fight Joyce Parker and now Wilder,just look at what Hrgovic has done since !

 

I think Hrgovic carrer dont go quick way because no one need some arogant Croatian beat all this dudes...

Can be wrong but I have no idea why Hearn for example dont give him more focus....

 

We will see. If he knocks out Dubois all of a sudden he will be the next great thing.

 

There is some truth in what you are saying, I also think Zhang won the fight. But officially Hrgovic won and I also recognize losing his dad can't be easy, and he is basically being sidelined by the popular fighters.

Joyce v Zhang was a matchmaking error. Parker I'll be kind and say he wanted to beat the guy who beat him, but I gather he was offered the Hrgovic fight.

My criticism of Hrgovic is he only wanted the rematch with Zhang once Zhang had the WBO interim, but he has at least been calling out his peers to fight

 

No doubt should Hrgovic beat Dubois he will be the big bad boogey man once more,we all know boxing is very fickle sometimes .

 

We’ll know after Saturday. If he belongs near the top he should be able to stop DuBois.

 

Better than the bums mentioned by really just all right.

 

Hype train, he loses to Dubois.

 

What? **** off, Parker beats the **** out of this guy every day. He deserves the shot.
