    Hrgovic via KO without doubt

    He was more than holding his own with a 28 y/o, 28-0, Dosser when he was a 20-21 y/o amateur and both Adam Booth and David Haye confirmed that The Dosser cracked him him with his best shots and he walked through them no problem

    If Hrgovic was privileged like The Dosser and had the opportunity to win a world title off a useless giant penguin like Stiverne who is one of the worst HW champions of all time and then had the WBC rigging their rankings for him spoon feeding him binmen like Molina, Washington, Breazeale, Szpilka, Duhaupas, Arreola's ghost to extend that manufactured reign with the only world class guys being Ortiz and Belly the later of whom he should be 0-3 vs then he would've been a long reigning champ too

    Hrgovic beats everyone The Dosser beat and the only person on The Dosser's CV who might beat him is Belly and if Hrgovic had 3 attempts to do so he's winning at least one. And Big Bang possibly by a hair if he fights the version of Hrgovic he did fight

    Ortiz isn't beating Hrgovic in a million years :lol:

    The Dosser isn't knocking Hrgovic out and he sure as hell ain't outboxing him and winning on points

    And Hrgovic struggling vs Moses is because Moses is the worst possible style match up for him and is a crazy fast reactive fighter and it's extremely rare to see a HW of his size move like that and be that fast. In fact, I don't think we've ever seen one before

    Oh I think he's solid, technically decent and properly durable... But... As a whole? I just don't think it all adds up to a fighter who's that effective - stopping power is limited, and cards ability is limited by stamina.

    I feel the same way - he's just being overhyped after beating a hype job, in frankly what was not a super impressive performance... He ate a ton of punches from a guy who could barely stand up.

    Edit: This doesn't mean I think he sucks... Just that I'm not going to retroactively pretend I think he would have beat AJ, Fury, or Wilder 6 years ago now....

    Hrgovic competitive decision. Wilder would land big shots and take rounds with his speed and explosiveness but Hrgovic would be doing the more consistent work and landing combinations. Would be a very fun fight.

    Fury stopped Deontay due to boxing skills. His and Hrgovic's are worlds apart.

    This has nothing to do Hrgovic beating Moses I've never doubted that he'd beat The Dosser
    ​
    This is who The Dosser fought during his reign

    Stiverne
    Molina
    Spilka
    Washington
    Duhaupas
    Arreola
    Breazeale
    Ortiz

    Ortiz is the only one who would even stand a chance of beating Hrgovic and he absolutely wouldn't

    Hrgovic already beat Big Bang albeit controversial and J-Park in the amateurs

    Hrgovic was calling out Chisora at least a year before this video but Chisora wasn't interested. Hrgovic was avoided by many

    Again, The Dosser is not knocking out Hrgovic and he ain't outboxing him and beating him on points. He's never fought anyone with a chin like Hrgovic, let alone knocked them out

    Hrgovic has no defence at all.
    Prime Wilder sleeps him easily

    Story goes Zhang had serious kidney issues in the Forrest fight. Definitely not a 12 round fighter though.

    Prime Wilder has tons of flaws. What he had was speed, power, and accuracy. The one thing that Wilder needed was to land that power punch. The only chance Wilder has for winning is what Hrgovic would give up on a silver plater.

    Prime WIlder gets outbox and wins by KO.

    A very interesting match up that could go two ways...

    I'd actually back Wilder on points here. Hrgovic, while he has a granite chin, gets hit way too much and has stamina issues of his own. I don't take too much stock in sparring stories.

    Hrgovic proved he can handle punchers like Zhang and Joyce, and could handle faster opponents like Moses. I like Hrgovic by late stoppage or UD.

    Wilder's chin was more like G-class, as in GLASS. Guys with B-level chins don't get dropped by tomato cans like Harold Sconiers or Dustin Nichols, or knocked out by light-hitter like Tyson Fury.

    The difference here, as in the Itauma fight, is in the CHIN. Hrgovic has one and Wilder doesn't.

    And Hrgovics boxing skills are worlds above Wilders. As Wilder found in the gym against Filip when he was still a kid.
