    I think with the regular title changes and mandatories building up though, these guys know they have to fight each other. It's not like the Wlad era where you just had to win one half decent fight and wait around 2 years for the Wlad payday.
    Yoka ain't gonna fight Hrgovic no fkin way.

    He's 'entered discussions' so he doesn't look like a b1tch, but I guarantee he'll find an excuse to get out of it.

          This is not Klitschko era any more, as someone said. Than all contenders didn`t have to do anything but sit on their asses and wait their names to be called to fight Vitali all Wladimir.

          All these guys like Yoka, Hrgovic and others will have to fight each other to get big fights.

            Hrgovc is a brick wall and a plodder. Yoka has much better footwork but I only saw his last fight. Im not sure how he takes a real punch. He better dance for 12.

              If you fake an injury you might keep your position if you enter talks then run you lose your ranking. Parker has dropped, somehow Ortiz has stuck.

                Great match, Olympic gold and bronze. Yoka's taller with a longer arm, faster, more diverse, and he moves better around the ring. But Hrgovic is stronger,very agresive, granite chin and has a knockout punch. If the match go on points, Yoka has a better chance, but Hrgovic is more likely to knock him out. Yoka will run around the ring with a high guard and counterpunchs the first 5 or 6 rounds, when he gets tired he will stop and then Hrgovic will reach him and knock him out.

                  Great fight matching two of the next generation's very best (The Gold and the Bronze). You generally like to see the new wave replace the old guard slot by slot.....
                  Ideally, the young guard supplants the old guard, rater than hot prospective top 10ers spoiling each other.

                  But two young lions fighting for a lofty top 10 slot? That's cool too.
                  Joyce and Dubois did something similar last year, and look how well the much younger Dubois has bounced back! Look how much prestige the late starting Juggernaut received. Win-Win cuz they're both good.
                  I like Yoka in this fight - Big.
                  I've been picking the prize prospects who ascend to the title in the division since Joe Frazier was hatched out of Tokyo (a very, very long time ago) and I've seldom missed the mark. Honestly.
                  You here allot of grumbling about how Yoka didn't earn it at the Olympic finals over Joyce, but you only hear that sour g****s whining on English language boards. Its untrue. Toka is the master of Joyce and Yoka's getter better faster.
                  Against Hrgovic we will witness Yoka pull up to the top 5, and that's only the beginning.
                  I state here and now that after Tyson Fury calls it a day, Tony Yoka stands alone at the summit - The next all-time great. Watch and see it unfold. He's as real as it gets.

                    Both of these guys besides from there size, do not really have any attributes that jump out at you. But Hrgovic maybe has the slightly more refined style, and better defense.

                    From what I have seen of Yoka, his defense consist of just putting his gloves around his head.

                      I've been picking the prize prospects who ascend to the title in the division since Joe Frazier was hatched out of Tokyo (a very, very long time ago) and I've seldom missed the mark. Honestly.
                      You here allot of grumbling about how Yoka didn't earn it at the Olympic finals over Joyce, but you only hear that sour g****s whining on English language boards. Its untrue. Toka is the master of Joyce and Yoka's getter better faster.
                      Against Hrgovic we will witness Yoka pull up to the top 5, and that's only the beginning.
                      I state here and now that after Tyson Fury calls it a day, Tony Yoka stands alone at the summit - The next all-time great. Watch and see it unfold. He's as real as it gets.
                      Whyte will be the WBC champion.
