I think he has very little chance of a big fight because no one is willing to invest in him, he has to change something to change the course of his career...
This means nothing since now all he has to do is win his mandatory fight and he’s guaranteed an IBF title shot. And guess what he won’t even have to beat a top 15 opponent since all of them are making “business decisions”. So right now regardless of how I feel about his skills, he’s doing something right since he’s literally one fight away from fighting a unified champion or for the vacant title.
He is in the right position. Somebody in top 15 needs to beat this guy and he will become mandatory for IBF belt. I don't know why people are avoiding him like that, he is way more umproven than any other top 5 ranked guy in sanctioning bodies.
Maybe the opposition see him as a high risk with low reward. He is unknown but that's a double edged sword as he could be a hard nights work also the lack of name is not going to help revenue. He will get an apportunity soon enough just needs to buy his time. the people above are looking for money fights but someone will pull out or will fall through. He just needs to be ready.
I'm not condoning the behaviour I'm merely stating that to many of the current top 10 are looking for the money fights and the path of least resistance. So let's look at say Parker and Ortiz both are on a run after being beaten a few years ago. What happens then if you fight a lower ranked unproven fighter? You will drop out of contention and have to rebuild which takes time. The fact both have ducked the fight shows me that they don't fancy that risk. I'm not saying it's right I'm just looking at it objectively. If I'm wrong what would be the reason for the ducking?
The belts are tied up between Joshua-Fury-Usyk for the next 18 or 24 months. I think people like Parker would rather fight somebody else in the meantime.
If Parker ends up taking another hard fight, like Joyce, instead then you can say that the money just wasn't right. Hgrovic not being a big name and not having enough financial backing to get bigger fights is mainly on Hearn, if you're a non-British HW you're gonna get stalled if you sign with him... He probably should have taken a fight with that bar brawler Babic last year because that would have made him more famous in the UK and it could have been a big deal on Croatia.
I see it the other way around. There are very few " ranked " contenders. Look who got a title shot before. All Hrgovic need os to pay the sanctioning fees and the under the table stuff from the money he will make. Got it? By the way I think he smashes Ortiz and the rest of the division. Maybe Fury beats him IF he gets in shape AND it happens before he gots too old.
