    I think its been said before in this thread but Hunter would have been closer to a title shot if he had beaten Poventkin
    Now i dont think he would be much closer if he had beaten Flip

    Rankings are unfortunately nonsense in boxing and can be manipulated at any time to suit a boxer, a promotion or the organisation itself

    Rankings aren’t nonsense because in most sanctions the top 3 get you a shot not the best promotion,where is that ever happening ? Hrgovic was ranked over Povetkin in some bodies bf the Povetkin fight ? Coming off loses and being out ranked in a rotation of sanctioning bodies get you nearer ? Come on now.

    Even in the WBC craziness , Hrgovic isover Povetkin ,not that it means much there.

    They are nonsense in how they are determined

    Because Povetkin is much, much more well known. He’s had a very good pro career and casual fans know who he is. Hrgovic isn’t known at all at the moment. Beating a well known fighter and boosting your popularity makes you a more appealing option for a champion to fight than beating some guy with less than 10 wins. This isn’t complicated

    Good enough to have haters at 10-0

    I don't know what he doesn't understand about this. It's not a controversial or complicated point. Beating Hrgovic does about as much for getting him a title shot as beating Bakole.

    Hrgovic should fight Usyk - he's undersized and over hyped.
