I know he doesnt deserve it at this point of his career... but just to send a message to those who declined the fight for the mandatory position . . the IBF should automatically give it to Hrgovic if no one in the top 10 will accept the fight....
They need to set a date and find him an opponent , if they can't get a top 10 guy to accept they should just make him mandatory. It's gone on too long now

Can't argue with that opinion. Can't remember the last time a fighter was so blatantly ducked.
Come off it Yoka wasn’t nearly close to winning those fights unless you are Tony Yoka on here ? :lol1:
Sour Grapes Yoka got the gold. Easy beatings. Hrgovic and Too Sloe Joe ? Yoka might give em' title shots in 2 years.

Clear Hrgovic

Time for Hrgovic to get a real shot. Dude been screwed in the amateurs and has been ducked for a few years now.

The only thing IBF should do is ask itself why Hrgovic is in their top 10 to start with?
Afterward, if they think Hrgovic deserves to be in their top 10, they may as well add Ajagba, that Anderson guy Arum was talking about, and other upcoming fighters. Perhaps one of them would accept to fight Hrgovic since none of the established ones seem interested in either Hrgovic or the IBF mandatory position.
They going up and down their Top 15 Ranking looking for anybody, after Ruiz and Gassiev which I don't think either of those will happen either:
12. Demsey McKean
13. Zhang Zhilei
14. Hughie Fury
15. Martin Bakole
Won't be McKean I think he already has a fight on Okolie Card next month I think so yeah by default it lands on Big Bang Zhang who already said Weeks ago if his name comes up he will step up and take it:

so yeah Hrgovic vs Zhilei is next by default
Yoka already lost to Hrgovic before and when they fought again had to pay off the judges it ended up being investigated when they found out France had payed off the judges in both the Hrgovic and Joyce fights ,yea another pasting ? :wave:
Both Joyce and Hrgovic were easy for Yoka. He's in another class entirely.
Either that.which hrgovic vs chinny trigger shy aj or usyk would be alright . at age a close loss in championship only would be able to rebound 32 when everyone retires. Look how much dubois getting push from media after a no mas to f... Joyce. Please no fury n not even wilder hrgovic still needs some klitschko lessons or hell catch wilders right. Not sure anyother person except someone whos weights atleast 50lbs more gets up yet still got caught n dropped & fury way more nimble than hrgovic
Ultimately, it will come to Zhang and he will most likely accept. I'd think if he wasn't injured Gassiev would have accepted but who knows. Not sure the extent of his broken arm and how long that will take but I can't imagine he'd be ready in time.
Would Dempsey McKean accept it? I doubt it but who knows. It would be a heck of a jump up in quality of opposition for the Australian and I imagine he'd get smoked quick.
So it will probably be Zhang. I'm at peace with that matchup. One big, stiff power puncher versus another (albeit much different levels). Let's get it on and be done with this circus.
