    Look at Zhang and Joyce, they can't wait to fight, while Hrgović trains persistently and there is no opponent in sight...

    More of a problem with his management and promoter though. I don’t see how you can blame him for it unless he is on record as stating he only wants to fight once per year.
    We have evidence of a lot of the top 15 ducking him.

    Majority of the division is in a long break.

    Hrgovic is trash just like Yoko Onochin

    You could replace Hrgovic with just about every top 20 heavyweight and i would agree

    I somewhat agree but not entirely. For one thing, why would anyone duck him??

    Low reward higher risk than fighting a stiff and then saying everyone is ducking you

    It wouldn't be smart to get more than 1 heavyweight punishment a year and lose billions of brain cells and shorten your lifespan. I think he's doing the right thing.

    He's highly ranked and therefore a gateway to a title shot. It would be different if were not ranked in the top 10.

    Seems like most of the division are wasting their primes away.

    You guys don't realize how hard it is for certain guys like him to get opponents. A lot of opponents want crazy money to fight people like that even journeyman. Lou Dibella explains this very carefully when he was talking about jalalov
