Comments Thread For: Hunter Aims To Topple Hrgovic, Secure Shot at Fury-Joshua Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Heavyweight contender Michael Hunter is motivated to force his way to mandatory world title shot. The IBF recently ordered Hunter and unbeaten Filip Hrgovic to collide in a final eliminator. The winner of that fight would be in line to get a mandatory crack at the victor of Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua - who battle for the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO, WBC world titles in the coming months.

Good fight for both guys. Ibf enforces it's mandatories so winner should get a title shot at some point.

Best non-title fight at Heavyweight in a long time! Michael Hunter is a tough fight for anybody, and Filip Hrgovic is overdue a true step up. Hrgovic's size versus Hunter's speed, going to be interesting. Hunter will need to be in good condition though, he can't take rounds off in this one. Hrgovic is a machine, reminds me of a young Vitali.

Oh how the top division in boxing has fallen mightily. The HW division is the absolute weakest its been probably ever. Outside the top three (and even in the top three) are absolute no names. The top 15 during the 90s (even the most casual of fans) were known and were actually good. I’d venture to say they’d wipe today’s division up and down as well. A sanctioning body has an eliminator amongst two that even ardent fans must stop and say huh?

Boxing during this last decade amongst the HWs has been a sad affair. A dying sport.

Hrgovic isn’t at all like Wlad he is like Vitali with more athletic abilities. Hrgovic does a few things better then Wlad ,he’s more formidable in a few ways . Hunter is not going to remotely win this fight outside a cut taking place . It’s true he’s doesn’t throw stiff hard jabs every time but his abilities to walk you into shots and hit off angles while turning guys around and hit off angles also work the body over . These are things Wlad wasn’t doing he fought more in straight lines and clinch if guys came in on him . Hrgovic simply punishes you and is a hard enough puncher few are going to want to be in there round after round taking those bludgeon shots .

Hunter is not reaching A.J if he fights this guy .

Hunter is kinda pillow fisted like Usyk.

He looks good but he ain't knocking over a true heavy!

Been hearing for the last 30 years how the heavyweight division is the worst its ever been

Just get a decent ref who will penalize Hrgovic for his blatant rabbit punching then let the chips fall where they may.
