Comments Thread For: Gassiev, Andy Ruiz Contacted By IBF To Accept Invitation To Face Hrgovic In Title Eliminator

[Earl-Hickey]

Notice even Fury calling everyone out not named Hrgovic who is ranked over Helenius in the WBC . I believe Hrgovic would beat up Fury it’s to hard a fight for him if Whyte is .

Lol hilarious

I said it would be Zhang. He has been vocal about fighting Hrgovic for over a month now. He is willing & able. I’d bring that fight to Macau or somewhere in China to maximize earning potential. Imagine only having to beat Eric Molina or having a draw with Jerry Forrest & getting a title shot with one step up win & really both are still unknown at the highest level. I’m pretty convinced it will be Hrgovic/Zhang…

That would be a good matchup. If the Joshua-Usyk rematch goes ahead I think it's a natural pick for that fight's undercard.

Will someone please take this f***ing fight?!

I like the look of either possibility, here

Not that I think much of Flip, but Ruiz is coming off knee surgery so he's probably going to take a tune up to test it out, Gassiev has similar issues.

Andy can get paid much, much more than the peanuts that Hrgovic's team will be offering.

That's just reality.

You are right in everything you said. However in that case, I don’t want to hear Andy talking about wanting to be a 2X Heavyweight champion.

Im sick of fighters thinking they’re too big a star to fight a final eliminator. *NewsFlash” if they were as much as a star as they claim, it wouldn’t matter who they fight. They could fight Hrgovic and draw massive revenue.

About what he’s purposely skipping a higher ranked guy looking for a fight and Arum isn’t dare mentioning Joyce either .

First of all Fury isn't looking for a fight he only has 2 options.
1. Whyte
2. Usyk (if they step aside)

Secondly, Frank or Arum already said Joyce is the likely choice if Fury doesn't defend the belt.

Last of all, the Hrogvic fight is a title eliminator. Fury as the WBC Champ and can't be part of another organization unless it's a unification fight.

I don't get how Hrogvic already has fanboys.

Andy is a former heavyweight champion of the world. He can get another final eliminator through a different sanctioning body without selling himself cheap.

Forget Andy. AJ ruined him. I'm sure Ruiz is working on a movie about his life.

I think it's the other way around. Joshua was mentally ruined by Andy.
