Will Hrgovic fade away into mediocrity now that he's reached the summit?

Depends if he fights solid contenders or fights no names like Fury done for the bulk of his rein.

 

34. I think he continues to train hard and gets bigger fights than Itauma. He has a real chance of beating the other belt holders. Kabayel is about the same age and has a size disadvantage. DuBois is about to be 29, but he has been in some wars and probably has another one coming up with Wardley 2. Gassiev is a former CW that turns 33 in a little over a month. IMO we are possibly looking at the next unified HW champ.

 

Ya he definitely looks older than 29 to me. In fighting years he definitely is older than 29. It's gonna catch up with him soon.

 

He can beat Gassiev and Dubios to be a unified champ. Has a reasonable chance against Kabayel too (though I think Kabayel would find a way to break him down).

So I hope not. Some good fights to be made here.

 

My worry is more about his chin

He's not like a Vitali Klitschko where it's a combo of good chin and good defence, he is ALL chin.

Eventually something has to give.

 

Division is WIDE open. Who knows can even beat Sanchez in his next fight? All I know is should be exiting time for division, which may lack a true great but should be able to continue to put together some good fights. Dubios, Hrgovic, Gassiev, Kabayel, Sanchez, Parker, Itauma on the comeback. Lot of different matches can be made.
