    Hrgovic -Joyce would be great

    Hrgovic is high ranked contender who finds it difficult to get a good fight, he is avoided fighter. Joyce is also something like that.

    They should fight each other. It is a risky fight for both, but with no risk there is no reward.

    That fight already happened at WSB , but it was not a real pro fight.

    But I guess they will try to get world title shots separate ways. Hrgovic will likely fight somebody in IBF eliminator. Joyce is in very good position at WBO, but he should fight Whyte or Wilder in final WBC eliminator maybe in the future.

    That is a fans fight but these days the promoters and fighters decide who fights who. It is a risky fight for both. But no risk, no reward. The winner would have a high rank where they would have a shot at a top fighter. I miss the old days when fighters would just fight as often as they could to get their name out there so they had a chance at a big fight.

    There is just too much inactivity in boxing these days and the fans are losing interest in the sport. I got excited seeing the Chisora/Parker and Ruiz/Arreola fights and I thought these guys would have another fight by now but I have not seen anything signed yet, just all talk. It has been almost three months since those fighters last fought.

    I don't think Whyte will fight anyone that the fans want. He is all talk. Fighting old guys just before they retire and claiming to be the best out there. I don't think he has anything lined up yet either. Apparently Ruiz and him will not fight for some reason. That leaves Chisora, Parker or even Arreola available.

      Whyte has fought the best opponents outside AJ . Povetkin wasn’t old when he knocked Whyte out the first fight , most on here actually was picking Povetkin in the rematch and I saw posters saying how ****** it was picking Whyte as if the knockout never happened .

        If Joyce fought Hrgovic he wouldn’t make it to his title shot .

        Id rather see Joyce at least make it there and fight AJ in which should be another losing effort .

        Id take AJ or Hrgovic confidently over Joyce , not sure I would anyone else at the moment .

          Those fights are in the past. Why doesn't Whyte fight someone worthy? Who is Franklin? Why can't it be Hrgovic, Joyce, Ruiz, Ortiz or Parker? It would make sense for Whyte to fight Parker and avenge the loss. Why couldn't there be a Ruiz fight? Both are available.

            He’s already defeated Parker and where is the Ortiz fight offered ? Why don’t you look up Ortiz record because he’s on your list ,shouldn’t Ortiz be switched to the worst resume on going way past due . Joyce just fought , there’s been multiple offers to Ruiz not long ago .

              You are right Whyte did get the decision against Parker.

              I didn't say he was offered any of those fights except there seemed to be talk about Franklin but I don't see anything signed. Why cant it be one of those I mentioned? I understand that Parker, Ruiz, and Ortiz made a good amount of money and are just looking for one more good payday against Fury, Wilder or Joshua so I don't see them fighting any risky fights unless the winner is offered a title shot. That leaves Joyce and Hrgovic to fight and if the winner is not offered a title shot they could fight someone like Parker, Ruiz or Ortiz with the winner fighting Fury, Joshua or Wilder, whoever holds the titles. Ortiz gave Wilder problems and that was less than two years ago so I don't think he can be counted out yet. He is not getting any younger at 42 though. The heavyweights need to do something and get some fights signed.

                Joyce is WBO mandatory , Hrgovic is IBF final elimination bout vs whoever shows up . Joyce isn’t going to fight Hrgovic if he’s already in line a guaranteed shot

                  That is most of the problem in boxing, too many phony belts and organizations. Boxing was a fans sport when there was only the WBC and WBA. If the WBO and IBF were eliminated Hrgovic and Joyce would be fighting or already have fought.
