Peak Hrgovic was like what, 2022? He has an iron jaw, has appreciable handspeed and skill on top of his size advantage. Both have questionable stamina. Could Hrgovic win? I’m sure the posters I expect to be here will do both sides of the arguing for me.
Could he win? Yes. Hrgovic took Zhang's bombs and survived. Foreman has a chance of blowing his gaskets here, and the way he dehydrated himself before fights would not help.
Based on the only “brawl” or Foreman’s career if he pushes the pace he gasses out I’ll also note against Frazier in the 2nd fight had him huffing and puffing lol. A 240-245lbs guy with solid fundamentals, a helluva chin, seriously it’s up there IMO would soften GF up pretty badly early on I’m undecided on the winner because Hrgovic was hittable but so was GF AND Ali / Young were snapping his head back… Hrgovic is a bit of an arm puncher but his lack of power wouldn’t be a handicap against a dehydrated opponent who was 215lbs-ish GF’s unlikely to also be the most powerful, strong or durable opponent he’s faced. Unique challenge for GF, wish he could’ve faced some bigger guys so we can see it… reminds me of Marciano with Valdez it’s a big “what if” @Pat M we share similar thoughts on the HW’s what say you?
Hrgovic power disappears when he faces anyone in the top 10, so it's a non factor here. Couldn't do anything to Dubois or Zhang. Couldn't even KO Adaleye when Wardley smoked him. He can't keep Foreman off, Hrgovic gets stopped in the first half
Basing this on 5? Rounds of footage. The same Norton and Frazier fights where he blew out small out gunned guys? Or where he got dog walked by Jimmy Young in his best performance… how about trying to box Ron Lyle and almost being taken out… what counts?
I’m not sure, I don’t really follow him I’ve seen him beat Joyce, Zhang and Adeleye I’d ask @NoNeck he’s pretty informed with the current HW scene.
Yeah I don’t really keep up with that many guys today it costs a lot of money to watch PPV’s and the big guys aren’t really up my alley.
For the reasons I stated I say it’s possible, it’s also possible he losses quite badly and gets beaten down after gassing out.
