    I'm still on the fence, but leaning no. He'll make it to the top 10, maybe a little higher, but that's probably his ceiling.

    How I see it. If he develops the way I think he will then the top boys might have a problem. What's his chin like ??

    Ive just watched a clip of him sparring Wilder, he might be able to do something with him right now, he looked to be capable with him

    Ive seen a few people say this about the Olympic final and I just didnt see it at the time. Joyce was clear second best. Maybe I need to watch it again, but thought Yoka was a clear victor at the time.

    Hrgovic is one of the tiny handful of top SHW amateur boxers in recent years who has never been floored or stopped. In fact, I'm never seen him hurt before and he's mixed in the highest company.

    Easily skilled enough for anyone imo, just no rushing

    He's definitely a talent, but a lot depends on how that talent will be developed in the pros. His fundamentals are real solid and if developed properly I certainly see him as a legit challenger in two-three years.

    Hrgovic is the truth because he beat 98 year old Kevin Johnson and 109 year old Amir Mansour. Hrgovic has to be one of the top 5 heavyweights of all time. In reality he has done nothing to prove that he is decent. The heavyweight division is still extremely bad and he has yet to step up in this watered down era for heavyweights.

    Definitely looked like Hrgovic was making a good account of himself there. Have you been able to find any vids of Sirenko whooping Dubois in sparring? I heard Vlad rocked him.

    he only has seven pro fights and is 26 years old. none of the "big three" were that far in their careers at this point.

    Right the point he still hasn't beat anybody worth mentioning yet in his career.

    Nope. Sirenko did say Povetkin was probably the toughest sparring he's had out of DDD and Joyce . He was a bit vague on Usyk sparring to but said he was much more formidable then Stiverne .

    I believe Sirenko is the top prospect ,and will wait until 2020 to fight a name .even moreso now that I could pick his brain a little and even when I had him at 1 ,it was before any stories of him. I see a guy that will be in line with Joshua 2022 .
