    • Wilder is number 1 WBA/WBC - he is number 2 IBF (tehnicaly 3 but number 2 is empty)
    • Hrgovic is number 1 IBF
    Wouldnt this be the smartest move for Wilder - to have a IBF mandatory position to attack Usyk/Dubois? If Joshua loses to Whyte, it might happen?

    But still Hearn promotes AJ aswell, and AJ-Wilder would be a fight boxing needs desperatley. But both are little biatches, it could be all about "talks".

    Also who wins this?
    • Wilder has experience and power, no chin though
    • Hrgovic doesnt have experience, has power and chin that endured Zhang, who almost ended "number 1 contender for Fury fight - indestructible, untouchable, jouggernaut - Joe Joyce
    I think Wilder wins this, UD on american soil, american judges, Hrgovic has no chance.

    Too dangerous. High risk low reward.

    Unless it's Ruiz Jr then Wilder might as well fight someone who looks visually good with big muscles to a casual and wait for the Saudi money to come through.

    Good fight for both, but has it ever been mentioned? Hrgovic can probably take enough from Wilder's punches and also land enough to knock him out. Also can do enough to outpoint him, but sure everybody is at risk against Wilder. But since I don't see this fight ever happening - that's all about it.

    Dangerous fight is what boxing should be all about, that is why Fury/AJ will never be considered real chamops, just like Wilder.

    Great fight. Hrgovic has the firepower to bother Wilder and I think he's the better boxer too. I fancy him - slightly - but with Wilder you never know.

    You're all forgetting one thing

    All of these guys - possibly AJ excepted -:want minimum risk and the biggest payday available

    If that means ducking every possible challenger for Fury, Wilder then that's what they will do.

    It would be a great fight, but Wilder is not going to fight for a pittance...

    I would like to see the fight.

    But being #1 mandatory is in reality no guarantee they actually get the title shot.

    I really don’t understand all the hype around Hrgovic though.

    In that case they should not be allowed near the belt

    Dangerous fight for either fighter. I think Hrgovic is the better boxer, we saw that when they sparred, but Wilder has that equalizer and Hrgovic isn't exactly elusive, he doesn't move his head much and when he does he tends to lean back which is dangerous with how Wilder steps in with his right hand.

    I'm going to favour Hrgovic, his right hand is sneakier and I think he hits hard enough to hurt Wilder and how he fights would put Wilder on the back foot for long periods which we know Wilder is not good at. Hrgovic KO.

    But would not be shocked if Wilder came from behind to KO him.
