    I don`t understand why top 20 guys duck Hrgovic

    He is slow and telegraphs punches all the time. Every well trained serious fighter would predict what is he gonna do next.

    I see him as totally winnable fight for many guys. Kabayel, Wallin, Hughie Fury, Yoka, Ortiz, Ruiz, to name some.

    I don`t count Joshua, Fury, Usyk, Wilder, Whyte, they have bigger fish to fry.

    I agree. He will be exposed eventually.

      I am not a believer. I know there are some on NSB that feel he is the future (and they will probably visit this thread and explain why). My eyes tell me he's stiff and robotic with his movement, his defense is lacking and he telegraphs shots.

      I dunno, I remember when he first turned pro (not the WSOB stuff), there was alot of hype on him. When I finally got to see him, I was underwhelmed. I've seen about half a dozen of his fights and still feel that way. He's big and hits hard, maybe I'm being too critical. People see to be avoiding him but I don't see what others do....

        Thought he looked very slow at the weekend, it must just be mainly his power. He also looks durable to be fair, he's never been stopped in the amateurs or wsb.

          You look at his record and it's a lot of old men, and some bums you've never heard of, and more old men.

          He had some good fights in the amateurs, but in the pro ranks his team is overprotecting him and it's starting to look suspect.

              He looked dangerous on bag and sparring with wilder. That's enough to scare people

                People need to understand that he is coasting these fights, but it's true, he needs to step up, but let's be honest, Hunter ducked him. He looks very durable, has shot selection and power. He's clearly not the fastest, but if his chin can hold up, he can go a long way in my view. Look how bad prime Holyfield looked last night. These new guys are better than the olden day one's. Nash out.

                  In the early part of his career, he has been high risk, low reward. But now for an IBF final eliminator, he is high risk, high reward. Especially for any IBF top 15 who is not going to get an AJ shot otherwise.

                    Michael Hunter got substantially more money to go to Triller. So that was no duck.
