Could Hrgovic beat any of the top heavyweights ?

    Everybody at HW is in danger of being beaten by everyone else.........................the division isn't good. It's actually quite weak. Someone from the top 15 or lower could potentially come in and beat a top 10 guy (it's already happened). That's because the top 10 guys have a tenuous hold on their top 10 rankings...............No one is dominant.

    I'm excluding Usyk as he is probably retired.

    He lost to Dubois but he demonstrated he was capable of beating Dubois. He was the favorite and didn't take Dubois seriously.

    A big part of why people underrated Hrgovic is they took a negative takeaway from that fight. After Dubois beat AJ so easily people were supposed to be going "oh Hrgovic would probably beat AJ too that loss looks really good now". I remember at the time no one was exploring that angle.

    Time will tell but I think it’s just a matter of time until Hrgo’s chin will crack. Look at Joyce, he could take anything anyone threw at him with ease until one day it just gave out.

    As long as his chin holds up he will do good with his endless endurance and no quit attitude.

    Rematch with DD could be fun.

    Do you think he looked better than DuBois against Hrg before he won too?
