    I don't think Hrgovic has Wardley's power to neutralize Huni's superiority in terms of skills, and I see Huni winning 8-4 in rounds...

    I think it would be a relatively competitive decision, I don't think Hrgovic has the power to hurt Huni enough considering how much harder Huni is to land on than his other opponents. And Huni won't be hurting Hrgovic.

    I'm leaning towards Huni because he seems to have better stamina down the stretch compared to Hrgovic who tends to gas out.

    Both are technically decent enough but I'd have to go with the more proven fighter in Hrgovic via points decision.

    Also, Huni I think could struggle with Hrgovic's jab.

    Both are overrated. Both were supposed to be world champions already according to many. Huni got knocked the **** out.

    On paper I think Huni has the advantage, as he is the better boxer, and Hrgovic does not have Wardley power to neutralize him with one punch. But Huni, rightly or wrongly, now has the smell of a fighter who pulls defeat from the jaws of victory, whereas Hrgovic mostly at least hangs in there and finds the path.

    Narrowly Hrgovic but I am open to having my mind changed.

    Hrgovic is a legit top 10 fighter who is probably quite avoided and will be a champion at some stage. Unfortunately I can't say the same about Huni yet.

    I actually think a better and more competitive fight for both of them down under would be McKean vs Huni - assuming Huni isn't rematching Kiki Toa Leutele, who were scheduled to fight in December last year but due to Huni's head coach passing, was scrapped (Mick Francis said it will be rescheduled in 2026)

    I'm not sure how good (or possibly average) Huni is, as he nearly shut Wardley out for 9 rounds, was doing better than Parker, but also almost got chinned by Lerena in a highly competitive fight that wasn't too far off being a draw, in my view.

    He's an enigma at this point.

    Huni would find a way to lose. Hrgovic make look disinterested but he finds ways to win, Dubois cheating heatbutt filled performance notwithstanding.

    Inclined to go with Hrgovic as he's more proven at the top level, but don't feel particularly strongly about it

    Hrgovic is overrated, but Huni is somehow even moreso.

    I don't see either winning by KO... So we're looking at points - Hrgovic would lead through early rounds, but Huni would start pulling back a few later on.

    This might genuinely be one where Hrgovic wins over 10, but it gets tight if it's over 12.

    Don't recall ever seeing Hrgovic get outboxed or out skilled amateur or pro. Nor do I recall ever seeing him struggling to land consistently with his punches on anyone either. Even in losses he was always ultra competitive.

    His power was overrated at first but it's become a bit underrated now.

    People are acting like he's some kind of featherfist now. He's a 6'6'' 240lbs or so giant of a man and when he sits down on that right hand of his it is actually a heavy shot. He just throws a lot of arm punches and has a slappy left hook.

    All bar one of his KOs at the lower level came within 4 rounds and the one which didn't was in 5

    10 of his 14 KOs came within 3 rounds. I definitely think he could and should be hitting harder but let's not act like he's a HW Paulie.

    Those right hands he dropped Adeleye with were clearly heavy shots. He dropped the teak-tough Kevin Johnson which even Dubois couldn't do.

    Only Big Bang has stopped the teak-tough Big Joe Joyce

    Big Bang has only been stopped by Kabayel and that was due to withering body attack which Hrgovic doesn't possess and Kabayel just might well be the best body puncher in the entire sport, let alone in the HW division.

    It took Fabio who has stopped most of his opponents early 7 rounds to get Adeleye out of there and he dropped and hurt with a sneaky shot while they were in a clinch or rather just as Fabio broke out of it

    Let's not forget that Huni wasn't only hurt by Fabio he was badly hurt and was out on his feet and a hair away from getting stopped against Lerena too. I think Hrgovic wins and could get him out of there too

    Huni would win he has super fast hands. I don't think Hrgovic would not him out. It's a very bad matchup for Hrgovic. Huni would win on points.

    Hrgovic would beat Huni

    An interesting match up though but I just don't think Huni has enough power to get his respect

    And the claim that Huni is more skilled than Hrgovic is based on...?

    That he outpointed Wardley? Wardley was outpointed by Clarke 1st fight (who btw beat Huni also) and by slow, bodybuilder version of Parker. Not a great feat.

    Hrgovic has better both amateur and pro accomplishments. Just completely baseless OP.

    Filip Hrgovic would win, people underrate his power, i would pick him to win by stoppage.
