    He got exposed by DDD. Now he's just a name on his next opponents resume.

    Laughable to say he has been avoided. By who? He always looked beatable

    He was definitely avoided before Zhang. Why do you think he had to fight Zhang?

    He was some sort of mandatory to one of the alphabet boys. He's not an attraction....there was and is no money in a match with him. That's not avoidance, that's finance.

    have been waiting for his peak @ pro's since his debut. And I'm still waiting.

    I always thought, he's bored due to low competition and is not showing 100%

    Now I think, he just doesn't like this sports and politics. He probably may have 2-3 meaningless fights to earn some money and then retire

    Maybe 6'3" Luka Pratljacic can be the next big thing for Croatia. Marko Milun is also talented but got 0 defense and is stubborn like his bro Babic

    Edit:
    Better follow Luka Plantic, he's world's top 10 now @ his weight class

    If he bothered coming in shape against Dubois he could have won. He was landing at will early on.

    Yep I think he thought because Usyk knocked Dubios out with a jab that he would blast him out quickly but Dubios was able to soak it up and Hrgovic gassed.

    The Dark Horse of the division. He is extremely good. Despite him losing his last fight I think that was just a case of Daniel being a very good boxer himself. I think Philip is easily a top five guy and he just is a high risk High reward so it's tough to get fights

    Sadly I think that might be the biggest factor. He hasn't been the same since his Dad passed away.

    Pratljacic and Milun will be stopped early in their professional careers, only for Plantic I have hope that he will achieve something, and subconsciously I hope that the end has not yet come for Hrgovic...

    Laugh all you want, but I think Hrgovic v Itauma would be a barn stormer and I'd back the teenager to win.

    Dubois's destruction of AJ put Hrgovic in position to get another title shot if he sits and waits tbh. HW has an incredible backlog of talented fighters. Right now beating Hrgovic would vault any contender to the front of the line while Hrgovic has little to gain from beating them.

    I know that Hrgovic is going through a rough time but all it takes is a few wins and youre back in the picture. Look at Parker, Dubious, and Zhang.

    Hrgovic can still make a comeback if hes dedicated

    Dubois headbutted him to a stoppage and he did better than anyone else against Zhang. Underrated imo.
