Hrgovic has the best chin in the Heavyweight division and the least power

I remember the last guy whose chin everyone was raving about. Started calling the dude The Juggernaut and saying his chin was made out of adamantium. Didn't take long before that narrative got brutally debunked.

The name of the game is to hit and not get hit. It won't be long for Hrgovic if he continues to use his face as his main form of defense.

 

Hrgovic's chin goes without saying, its been on full display in multiple fights. Probably the best in the division atm, but who knows how long that will last looking at how much he gets hit.

But regarding his power, its not great for a guy his size but like all heavyweights at this level he still has decent power. It comes down to how he sets up and throws his shots.

He doesn't have the explosive one punch power some guys have, but he could definitely be more heavy handed if he mixed things up a bit. Power is mix of timing, weight, technique, speed, placement etc. And Hrgovic looks lazy in the way he puts his shots out there to score without putting too much into them.

But like a lot of the "weak" punchers in the division I don't doubt that if he worked on it he could be displaying more power in his bouts.

Think about "non-punchers" like Usyk, Fury, Parker, who all can show more power when they mix it up like in Wilder vs Fury 1 compared to the second fight or how Usyk ran over Dubois, or how Parker KO'd Bakole with a single punch.

 

Those arm punches.. old habits die hard.

 

Based on how Hrgovic reacted to Adeleye's power, Wardley has a better chin than I thought. He also took big left hooks and was never hurt. Didn't get caught with perfectly timed counters like Hrgovic though.

 

TBH, it looked like Big D got scared after he got the cut.

I think this is about Fil's ceiling. Other than people telling me he's fantastic, I just don't see it. It's so bad the commentary team is not even half wrong about his terrible posture and footwork game.

What is really crazy is how much **** Wilder got while this jabroni gets called "talented" and "skilled".

Give me a break. Jamooks who have seen Wilder's kinematic chains and still question his power tend to be the same jamooks who tell me Hrgovic ain't shitty. All I know is you silly billies don't even understand basic physics let alone boxing.

 

And commitment.

Hrgovic throws almost as if he's afraid to take the risk... Which he shouldn't given his chin.

At the end of the day, if he's not going to throw hard he should be getting some mass off and fixing that awful gas tank.
