Why does Hrgovic pout when posing at weigh-ins?

    Usyk has beaten within five years Glowacki, Mchunu, Hunter, Huck, Briedis, Gassiev and Bellew. In the same time Joyce has beaten Stiverne, Ustinov, Jennings, Dubois, Takam and Parker.

    No matter what, you can't hype Hrgovic anymore. I did not believe in him in 2018 when he was supposed to be the next big star and I was right five years later. Neither has he fought anyone, nor has he even won against his first real test, a 40 year old man.

    Also, I don't think he's an East European since Croatians are more Ottoman but that's another topic for the Lounge.

    Fury has lost me as a fan after ducking Usyk but he has given us some great fights in the past which is something that Hrgovic will never do.

    Not many boxers are warriors anymore but businessmen. This is not the UFC or ONE Championship where fighters want to test their limits. Boxing has become a business. And Hrgovic is a nobody in this sport as rough as it sounds. No big payday against him, he's unknown, uncharismatic, doesn't have any titles.

    If the Croatian people would believe in him, businessmen would have already signed him, put his fights on national TV, pay some former champions and journeyman to fight him several times a year and build a brand. Croatia may have 4 million inhabitants but the entire Balkan region has around 50 Million people and other countries would either support him or hate him and still watch his fights in the hope that he loses like most people who bought Floyd's PPV.

    And even if not, Cro Cop had fans all over the world.

    Fury’s accomplishment was better no doubt. But it was dreadful to watch

    Everyone is giving out about Fury. And everyone loves Usyk. So your tired rhetoric about Eastern Europe and the chip on your shoulder is getting tiresome.

    Hrgovic would probably look for 50/50 vs AJ and Fury. His team just price him out of everything. And when he finally got the exposure on the AJ card he got a gift decision.

    Which contests were these that were entertaining? Wilder 2 was brilliant, and the third was good too. Also the KO of Whyte was nice. Fury has never had a fan friendly style but in recent times he has been in some good ones.

    lol Fury is extremely fan friendly he has shown more styles than any other heavyweight in history. We have seen so many incarnations

    McDermott 1, McDermott 2, Chisora 1, Firtha, Pajkic, Cunningham, Hammer, Wilder 1, Wilder 2, Wilder 3, Wallin, Whyte.

    The Wilder 3 is the most entertaining heavyweight fight in decades

    Nahh people still defending Fury, when a mob comes out and demand he gives up belt, then I will belive you. Usyke still isnt respected more than Joshua or Fury. It is tiresome for you, because it gets on your nerves, truth that is. Nahh you sore.

    Correct I will remember Fury jumping up and down in joy with his team, and Uncle Hughie shirt on when the decision was read out.
    Who is the other guy again?

    Well, AJ didn't make the Kilt fight look easy. Fury just made it boring. But it did end an era in boxing and started a new.

    I don’t think he’s putting on a face. He naturally has a rather brutish and ugly countenance so a neutral expression can easily be perceived as aggressive/threatening by beta males and some women.

    Well, if you consider a horizontally stretched Vitali morphed with Seann William Scott to look alpha then ok.

    I never stated he looked alpha, if that is even a thing. As far as I know the alpha/beta dichotomy is a social construct based more on personal qualities than looks.
