To be perfectly Frank (Sanchez) Hrgovic is the Cuban assassin

 

Yes, Moses is blessed with great physical offensive attributes and skills but as Hrgovic said it's not about what you can give it's about what you can take and even after this humbling and sobering defeat his chin still hasn't been tested by a truly elite puncher. One shot from that kind of power can change and ruin entire careers and put an end to hype in the blink of an eye

Hrgovic hits pretty hard but how many times did he actually catch Moses clean with his best shots and full power/full leverage right hands and on the occasions he did Moses looked visibly uncomfortable.

What's going to happen when Big Bang, Dubois, AJ, Fabio, Gassiev etc. type punchers and other huge punching future HWs yet to emerge crack him flush on the chin with their biggest shots? I didn't see anything last night to suggest he can withstand savage HW power. If Hrgovic hit like some of those guys Queensberry wouldn't have dared put him in with him yet

 

Yes, Sanchez is a very good fighter and a bad stylistic match up for some other fighters but Hrgovic is a very good fighter and the toughest fighter in the division and one of the toughest ever.

Stylistically Moses was a very bad match up for Hrgovic. Hence why Queensberry was willing to put him in with Hrgovic and almost everyone had Moses beating him and most via early stoppage but Hrgovic only has one loss to the #2 ranked HW in the world and he was more than holding his own vs him until he got stopped on cuts and I think Hrgovic beats almost all the other HWs or is at least 50-50 against all of them or at worst 40-60

Usyk is soon to turn 40, is well past his best and is on the way out

Belly, AJ and The Dosser are all past their beat too and on the way out

That just leaves Dubois and Kabayel and those are 50-50 match ups for me with maybe Kabayel being 40-60 in Kabayel's favour

Hrgovic would be too much for Fabio and they aren't going to stick Moses back in with him anytime soon unless they want to risk ruining his career

His biggest problem is probably going to be his chin eventually cracking at some stage due to the ridiculous amount of flush bombs he's taken from murderous punchers and legit bangers
