    Right. I'm not in massive favour of giving Hrgovic a title shot because of his crappy opposition, but if everyone is going to duck him, I think we should just ****ing make him a mandatory.

    If he was really an easy fight, no one would duck him. He's being ducked because he's high risk.

    Let him have his title shot. Just **** it. If none of these fighters are confident enough to take the risk they should not get a title shot before him.

    Hrgovic is never going to be able to prove himself if no one will fight him.

    Bring back the days of Brook and Khan moving up two weights to fight GGG and Canelo. That was the last time fighters had balls.

    The fighters now are all Floyd Mayweather Jr wannabes who are only interested in a paycheck. It's embarrassing.

    I feel for poor Hrgovic. Somebody give that big teddy bear a hug. Shame on Parker, Yoka, Ortiz and co.

    Tony Yoka did not refuse to fight, Martin Bakole intervened because allegedly Yoka should fight him...

    Zhang wants the fight. Both are connected to match room. It makes sense, and hopefully builds the profile of the winner too, which could lead to more fights

    Im not going to blame yoka (even though he's a glass chin false Olympic gold medalist with a medal made out of fools gold)

    Because i saw a post a several hours ago on reddit saying that Martin Bakole sent the ibf a letter about how Yoka is under contract to fight him.

    It's probably not his fault

    Martin Bakole should just **** off. He was offered the Hrgovic fight and ducked.

    Better. It would have been a massacre perpetrated by Hrgovic.

    Knew it was too good to be true. I knew Bakole had petitioned the IBF but didn't think he'd succeed. Can't blame Yoka if he has a contractual obligation and can't blame Bakole for wanting the Yoka fight as he's getting a reported 400K euros for it, which for him is clearly a good payday.

    So who's next? Joyce, Kabayel, Gassiev, Ruiz Jr and Martin are the others in the IBF top 10.

    Must be Zhang now then. Don't see him pulling a rotator bluff or sore elbow.
