    I am talking about Usyk, Kabayel, Fury, Dubois (already lost), Joshua
    I dont think so
    Even a washed up Wilder would have a chance because Hrgovic is a stationary target and Wilder punch is a lot stronger then Itaumas.

    Wow! Moses look 10x better than Fury, AJ and Wilder in the 1st seven rounds vs Hrg, there's no way AJ's taking the shots Hrg took, AJ and Fury are no longer top heavyweights and Wilder's a joke now.

    Yes he can. He was beating DD until the cut got worse.

    He was the clear underdog vs. the heir apparent "next Mike Tyson" :rolleyes: suffered a controllable cut and a borderline flash KD. By the 3d round Filip was doing better. By the 5th better still. Even in the 7th when it was clear the fight was turning, the nauseating Brit crew calling the fight said they didn't think they could give Filip one round :shakehead: Take off the rose colored glasses. By the 7th you could see Moses looking tired. In the 9th he was knackered (one of my fav Brit slang) :drooling: and was stopped. The ropes held him up a few times from a legit KD. I seriously wonder if he had the energy to get up. Filip has been denied many opportunities in his career. I'm glad he won and has one of the major belts !

    Lastly, why do top Brit HWs have to have the home ring advantage in nearly every big fight - sometimes w/Brit refs. AJ is terrified to go to MSG to face Fury. He must still be having flashbacks of when a shortish, fat Mexcian stopped his model sculpted self.
    Brit fans will travel to the US, they'll ceratianly travel elsewhere in Europe or close by.

    Of course, he can beat at least some of the fighters on this list.
    1. Usyk - he won't beat him. Firstly, Usyk is retiring, and secondly, he's a genius whose style wouldn't suit him at all. A genius wouldn't swell up like Moses. A clear points win for Oleksandr.
    2. Kabayel - he's definitely within Filip's reach. He's slower than Itauma. It would be a war, and who knows how Agit would handle the Croatian's tough replies. Filip also handled Itauma's body blows (maybe not as many as Agit would throw). It's a clear-cut result in my opinion.
    3. Fury - this fight will probably never happen, but is the current Fury so out of reach for someone like Filip? It would be a tough fight, and considering that even Makmudov could put something in his face and stay the distance, it's practically a 12-round fight.
    4. Dubois - let's be honest. Dubois has always been and will always be within Filip's reach. The first fight was a scandal in terms of ring presence. Daniel, further broken by Usyk and Fabio Wardley twice, is definitely an opponent Hrgovic can beat. Especially since he was pounding him really hard in the first rounds. A little smarter approach and better refereeing, and he could definitely beat Dubois.
    5. Joshua – it's unclear how much of AJ remains, but I don't know if he's still capable of winning a tough fight against someone who can withstand his punches and return the blows really well. He would definitely be a worthy opponent.

    There's also Wardley, Parker, Sanchez, Ajgaba, Huni, and Gassiev. All are within the Croatian tough guy's reach. Murat and Parker would probably be the most interesting.

    He can definitely compete with these fighters. Few of them will be as fast and aggressive as Moses, and there, Filip could stretch his wings much further during the fights.

    Because it makes financial sense to have the fights in the UK, the home of boxing.
