    Kabayel, Wallin, I wouldn’t mind seeing ca Junior Fa or Ugonoh. Someone with an 0 who is not quite world level

    Yeah. Seeing him derail Fa who really has **** all to offer the division would be nice to see.

    He has an 0, he is easy picking. Joshua beat Cornish what did he offer?

    Hrgović said he would fight in Zagreb on December 8th, against the former world title challenger. But the name is unknown for now.

    Dominic Brazeale. He needs a fight and hasn't fought all year.

    Interesting matchup.

    Maybe Gerald Washington, Carlos Takam or Eric Molina?

    Yes he really is over-rated by some down here in NZ. Don't get me wrong I would love to see him do well as I do with all NZ fighters but if he hadn't beaten Parker in the amateurs no-one would care about him. Cruiserweight David Light has dealt with Fa's opponents a lot better than Fa did and no-one has a clue about him down here.

    Filip Hrgovic (6-0), Olympic Bronze Medalist & the WBC International HW champion, will fight on December 8th, at the Zagreb Arena in Croatia. His opponent is rumored to be former WBC Silver champion & world title contender Johann Duhaupas (37-5).
    Croatian media.

    This would be a very good opponent, but after Duhaupas who is very durable, Hrgovic could be ranked in the top fifteen at 7-0, and from that point he's going to be in a title match soon before he's 12-0, which is a little risky. He's on the rise.

    Hrgovic came into his own just prior to the Olympics in 2016 where he was robbed, dominating the very pro like worlds series of amateur boxing. He's has a new trainer. His amateur seasoning is not on Usyk's level. I'd rather see him fight two more medium level opponents to work with his trainer than jump up in class again.

    His goal should be champion, and at his age ( He turned 26 in June ) he has plenty of time. For the best chance of success, I’d wait two more years before seeking a title shot. I'd rather see him fight 6 more times before 2020 because once you ranked high, fights are less common. In short, he has plenty of upside to be filled. He needs to develop his own counter punch, some head movement and set up his offense a bit better off the jab.

    Then again, I’m not there for his sparring sessions, maybe he's blitzing good talent there, and is ready. I’d pick him to TKO Wilder right now, but in two years form now, his chances for success will be higher.

    His plan is fight for the title at the end of 2019.
    If he win now, his next match will probably be against Kuzmin for the EBU title.
