    On the basis that Zhang punches a hole through Wallin and Pulevs skull lol.

    You're criminally underatting Hrgovic.

    The consensus was that everyone wanted to see Joshua in with Hrgovic. Some were hinting that Joshua was ducking Hrgovic to fight Wallin and Ngannou.

    Dubois beating Hrgovic is a great win for him but Hrgovic used a terrible gameplan. He thought Dubois was easy work and would blow right through him. Dubois came back into the fight when Hrgovic started to gas out. If you think Dubois is "clearly" levels above Hrgovic then I'm saying you don't know what your looking at buddy.

    Its an interesting fight. Joshua is at his biggest age gap in his career. This is the first time since Joshua fought Klitschko that Joshua doesnt have the power edge. Good fight.

    Hrgovic is ridiculously overrated - he scraped past overrated Zhang, who is almost impossible to lose to on the cards... Surviving deserves credit, but Hrgovic is absolutely not a legit contender.

    The consensus was that Joshua/Hearn wanted it - for the IBF mandatory status...

    Anyone hinting that Joshua was ducking Hrgovic had it completely backwards - Hrgovic was the one not interested in good fights and sat on his ass protecting his zero.

    Dubois is a genuine top ten fighter, Hrgovic isn't.

    It's possible Hrgovic could've been if he'd actually taken good fights and learned lessons, but he hasn't... Maybe he'll develop from here, but he'll be past prime by the time he does.

    Dubois is clearly better, clearly improving faster and clearly going to go a lot further than Hrgovic...
    If you don't think Dubois is clearly a level or two above Hrgovic, then with respect it's you who doesn't know s about boxing.

    I was in a boxing gym tonight but sure i don't know anything about boxing lol. Sure tell us what and where your boxing knowledge is from squire?

    Hrgovic fought a stupid gameplan against Dubois. Hrgovic is the better skilled fighter, if you can't see that then there's nothing else to say.
