    Hrgovic is boring and hasn’t won a legitimate fight yet (I believe he lost to Zhang). No need to waste time talking about this bum…

    Some people said the same about Usyk.
    Why is he getting a title shot after only beating Chas Witherspoon and Chisora at heavyweight?
    He doesn't deserve it.
    He is blocking undisputed. etc.
    Hrgovic has been mandatory challenger to Usyk for a year now. In December it will be three years since Joshua fought IBF mandatory Pulev. Hrgovic is due his title shot or compensation.

    Retire? Lol
    He should attack this dudes on all occasion. Maybe some one give him chance.

    He is boxer. That's his job. He doesnt earn soo much nie that he can rest now.

    No belts and Usyk needed. He probably will be loose in that fighting for now.

    He should travel to Furys next fight and attack Parker for example in front of camera and journalist.

    Anderson good fight too but nobody let him loose to Croatian right now. He is "new USA Hope". No way he take quick soo risk fight.

    Entire top 15 expresed that they will not fight Hrgovic, Parker was one of the first ones, and now having been defeated by both Joshua and hypejob Joyce, he isnt the level of oposition Hrgovic needs.

    Anderson is a hypejob, Hrgovic should preassure him and destroy that american dream.

    After that only Makmudov is left.

    If both of the fights dont happen, he can retire, nobody will fight him and he will not get the chance at the belt.

    Simple, next champion will be Unified, they will fight winner of Joshua-WIlder, and WBC will be one of the belts on the new champion, so WBC will order mandatory. IBF doesnt care, if they didnt step up now, they wont do it then aswell. There is no chance in hell Hrgovic is gonna get mandatory shot for at least another 3 years.

    It's hardly Hrgovic's fault his resume is so poor. He's been badly mismanaged and very unlucky but it's not like he hasn't been calling for the big/bigger names for ages.

    When you have to go up and down the IBF's top 15 rankings multiple times to try and find someone willing to face him in an eliminator with the prize being a guaranteed title shot should they beat him and no one steps up until Big Bang it's not his fault.

    Imagine where he would be now and much sooner than that if he had Top Rank guiding him from the start of his career?

    He will not retire lol.
    End of the day its still better earn less money than earn nothing.

    Filip should take this in his own hand. Parker said last time that he want fight ANYBODY. Soo go to event, catch him in front of ppl and ask him if he is pus...sy.

    Or start attack Frank Warren again. He can give Joyce chance. Warren always talk a lot how Hrgovic is weak and how strong are Joe. Lets do IT.

    I dont say it give him fight for sure but he can try. If Parker or other dont fight with him after being called out personal in front of ppl their reputation will go down.

    And one more time. Nobody give him Anderson. No way. Filip will be knockout this guy and they never let this happend.

    That is utter drivel. He got a gift vs Zhang and priced himself out of fighting anyone with a pulse while he waits on his title shot. His resume is a joke. He is everything that is wrong with boxing. Not legitimately beating anyone of note, navigating a title shot and not taking any risks while he gets his mandatory percentage.

    Wait....why would Hearn be "rubbing his hands"?

    How does Fury fighting Usyk and Hrgovic being left out in the cold help him?

    Usyk was gifted with a victory against Dubois and I have to admit that he is a good actor, he will never be one of the greatest...

    The last IBF Mandatory was Joshua vs Pulev which was 2 years and nine months ago, so your numbers are wrong. Not been 3 years let alone 4.

    Yes the IBF ordered their mandatory before the WBO but rescinded their mandatory which yeah sucks for Hrgovic considering Joshua first fight with Usyk was a WBO mandatory, so the WBO jumped the queue.

    Now if Usyk/Fury does happen it means Hrgovic's title shot will again be pushed back even further as no doubt there will be a rematch so forget about it happening any time soon. Maybe late 2023 but more likely 2024.

    With fighters fighting once or twice per year, unified champions simply will never make regular mandatories and it sucks. Stuff like this hurts the sport how are sports fans meant to be drawn to this sport when champions fight so irregularly and go years not facing their mandatories.

    You have to feel a bit sorry for him and other contenders watching Fury collect a career check for fighting a complete novice. Dubois 100% did not deserve his shot at Usyk either.
