    I would love to see Hrgovic vs Sanchez. I'm actually in the minority that think Sanchez can outbox him.

    Oh. I thought you meant the time he needs for Frank Sanchez, haha. They were picked for the IBF eliminator.

    I've said for a few years now that Wardley is the dark horse of the HW division as he has quite rare natural fighting instincts and can certainly wallop a bit so, I'll go with a Wardley mid to late stoppage. I appreciate that Hrgovic is a tough out for anyone but, if Wardley is gonna beat him, now is the time as a relatively late sub.

    Hrgovic is a bad matchup at this stage for Wardley. I favor Hrgovic.

    Jared Anderson would be great matchup.

    Huni, F. Sanchez, L. Ortiz, Pulev, Hunter, Joyce are good options.

    M. Charr is a viable and decent one, if no one else agrees.

    Looks like 3 fighters are in discussions: Huni, Hrgovic and Hunter.

    According to a source, Huni is Warren & Wardley's first choice, if he accepts the fight. It would be the easiest win for Wardley.

    Hrgovic however has already accepted, and he would make for a more competitive and meaningful fight.

    I think it will be Hunter because he is the weakest of the ones listed.

    I think Hrgovic is too well schooled for Fabio, he obviously has a limited amateur background and will make mistakes that Hrgovic will exploit. I think Hrgovic should be pushing for this right, get straight back into a fight against a winnable top 15 contender then look for the title shot.

    If I was Wardley I’d go in and try to get Huni, I don’t see him as a massive threat.

    Why should Wardley be careful in choosing his opponent, he's 30 years old, experienced and a Top 10 fighter...

    Hrgovic is the most hyped heavyweight of all time. Dubois literally destroyed him, yet still he has lots of avid worshippers in this forum.

    Well, Dubois himself quit twice and has a lot of worshippers too. Losses don't always define your career and how you are viewed.

    Hrgovic is as good as he is, there are worse fighters than him in the Top 20, so Dubois destroyed Joshua too...

    Hrgovic clearly lost against zhang and didnt seem to know where he was for periods in the ring. He also lost against dubois. Still I am convinced he will control wardley. Wardley is too one dimensional and small in order to deter hrgovic from his style. He will even be able to take breathers with his defense and chin as a last line of defense. So I see it as very likely to be a clear win for hrgovic
