The ONLY fighter that should be a mandatory challenger is Parker. Every other mandatory is a joke!

    - Dominated Wilder, completely outboxed Zhang who had no success besides the 2 knockdowns and barely threw anything because Parker's movement was too much. Has looked WAY more impressive than Hrgovic, despite an extra knockdown, Parker looked way more comfortable and zhang was afraid to throw because of being countered.

    - Hasn't had a single impressive win in his entire career. Zhang is a decent opponent, and Parker did also take a knockdown, but Parker dominated Zhang throughout most of the fight, where as Zhang vs Hrgovic was a closer fight and arguably could have been scored a draw. If Hrgovic did win it's because Zhang gassed late, it had nothing to do with Hrgovic being that good. Besides Zhang who has Hrgovic beat? Molina? Booker? LOL!!!! He needs another good win on his belt before being a mandatory IMO. His only good win was Zhang, and he only just scraped a victory, it was not dominant. IMO he needs to be fighting at least one more good opponent before being a mandatory.

    - Makh was way overhyped. His best win was ****ing Takam, who was KO'd by Chisora when he was younger and better. Who has Sanchez beat of any significance? Junior Fa, who got KOd in ONE round by Lucas Browne. I like Kabayel but surely there needs to be an eliminator here against someone of any real significance? Even if it's someone like Ruiz? P.S. Sanchez was injured.

    - I don't even need to explain myself here. WBA shouldn't even exist anymore, they're a ****ing disgrace. Dubois vs ***** tits Bryan for a shot at Usyk? Just ****ing lol.

    I hope that Hrgovic will convincingly overcome Dubois and earn at least some respect on this forum...

    Even if he does overcome Dubois what does that prove? He has proven he is well below the highest calibre fight.

    Dubois was almost KO'd by Lerena ffs.

    He had a difficult fight vs Miller. Dubois is not great.

    Hrgovic beating Dubois means nothing.

    Agreed.

    Dubois struggled against Miller. Hrgovic showed he's not that much better than Zhang, who lost easily to Parker.

    I'd probably back Parker to beat Hrgovic.

    I'd back Joshua to brutally KO Hrgovic.

    You are a good boxing expert, but I want your prognosis to be wrong...

    Have those four guys fight in a mini tourney to determine the undisputed #1 contender.

    And Parker was KO cold by f**** Joe Joyce. Everyone has bad nights. People should start judging boxers based on their skill levels and their usual performance, not on an off nights, as everyone has them, and you can nitpick on anyone like that.

    Parker has fought many great fighters. Hrgovic has fought one, and he struggled against him.

    He's been tested by one fighter who only lost due to an aging gas tank.

    Ah i can say the same for Parker and Zhang. Parker only won cause of Zhang poor gas tank, and he get overconfident.

    Parker deserve his chance, and he will get it, but he also needs to rematch Joyce and Whyte.

    Yeah but Parker was mostly dominant over Zhang, Zhang vs Hrgovic was far closer.

    Hrgvovic doesn't deserve a shot yet, even if he beats Dubois.
