    Nah you're full of it, Dubois and AJ lost , they were young enough to rebound, and in AJs case he took the losses while at the top of the pyramid and took fights to stay in the mix. Klitschko got to fight for the title coming off a loss and 18 months inactivity because he took the loss at the top of the pyramid, he's not British. Joyce is old, lost to Zhang and immediately went in for the rematch, something Hrgovic doesn't have the balls to do. Hrgovic instead fought McKean and De Mori - I'm giving the guy no props for that.
    Again, people have been on at wilder his entire career for his poor resume, which is why it took 35 fights - all KOs - before he got a title shot, and that's with the benefit of being a bronze medallist at the Olympics. But he's an American knockout artist, surely he should have got his title shot after 20 fights tops right?
    Face it, it's about marketability. In eastern Europe , MMA and the UFC garner more interest than boxing , so there still aren't that many eastern European boxers with a high enough profile to become more marketable - but many many fighters that aren't British or American do well, by taking the fights to improve their visibility and marketability. Basic business, and again you fail to understand it.
    It doesn't matter if fighters lose fights, regardless of where they're from, if they are marketable and still have something to offer , they will come again. Basic. Business.

    Ha Hrgovic has a better resume than Wilder and Fury just ended this conversation, you're an absolute idiot if you believe that. 3 of Hrgovic's last 4 opponents have been Mark De Mori (known for getting chinned by David Haye) Demsey McKean (known for absolutely nothing) and Emir Ahmatovic (who is not known) that's embarrassing for a so called top contender.

    Saying Hrgovic and Makhmudov have better resume's than Fury Joshua and Wilder just confirms you're an idiot.

    Sanchez could something of a grudge match. Hrgovic best Cuban contemporaries that troubled Frank during his amateur run.
