Without a doubt the money vs the risk doesn't make it worth while for a fight vs Hrgovic but then if they win they become IBF mandatory and a shot at Joshua if he is still champion is going to be several million. So when it comes down to it the rest of the top 15 are not confident they can win to earn that multi-million mandatory shot. It's disappointing. Hunter ducked him which was a surprise as previously he didn't seem risk adverse. Bakole who called him out last summer now suddenly doesn't want it either. Martin at the start of the year claimed an injury and now he's calling out Whyte yet wants no part of Hrgovic probably for the reason you've mentioned. He'd rather lie down for a couple of mill vs Whyte than try and beat Hrgovic and earn an even bigger payday.
They tried to lock me away in an insane asylum when I told you all Hrgovic was a problem and a force to be reckoned with. ''He's slow (S-L-A-O)'' they said And I said he's quicker than you think and it's funny how I've never seen him have trouble landing with regularity on any of his opponents in the amateurs/WSB and pros. ''He has no chin'' And I countered with.. ''What?! I've never seen him hurt let alone dropped or stopped despite the fact he fought most of the top SHWs in the world in the amateurs/WSB and has never been down in the gym even though he's sparred some of the biggest punchers in recent times or the HW division has ever seen: Wlad, The Tuscaloser, Haye, Dubois to name a few. And he was more than holding his own against The Tuscaloser when he was like 19 or 20 or something and the later was 28 and 28-0 IIRC and he was trying to take Hrgovic's head off in that spar. He also bashed up Dubois and allegedly knocked him out or forced him to quit and he split Haye's eye open too. Word gets around. ''He's not fought anyone'' Er. both he and his team have been calling out big names for years now and they said they'd been turned down because many are reluctant to face him and the fact they've had to go down through the rankings from top to bottom to find an opponent to fight him in a final eliminator to face AJ and no one wants to know only confirms that.

Hrgovic has all of these chumps running scared. I don't want to hear about any of these guys like Hunter, Ruiz, Ortiz or even Parker again if they refuse to fight Hrgovic for a straight shot at AJ and the belts. And Hunter is fighting a guy who is a bum at CRUISERWEIGHT. Shameful
