Hrgovic's next fight.

[Dr. Z]

Hrgovic has 2 names - Zhang and McKean, both southpaws and better opposition than last 2 fights of anyone in heavyweight including Joshua, Fury and Wilder, except Usyk

• NO CHANCE/ buisiness decision that is expected: Fury, Joshua, Wilder, Ruiz, Ortiz
• Refused once or multiple times official IBF letter - Ruiz (3x), Joshua, Parker (2x), Sanchez, Ortiz, Ruiz, Gassive, Bakole, Joyce, Hunter, Martin, Kabayel, Wallin
• Accepted - Zhang and Yoka, thought he already beaten Zhang and Yoka is an overrated chinny PED abuser. But I must admit the robbery in the Olympics looms large for professional rematch!
• Called him out - Jared Anderson

Given the information, in my opinion it should be like this ( if Usyk ducks, and I hope he won't ):

1. Jared Anderson - only fighter that called him out, that fight would be great. Let them fight! Anderson will draw fans. It will be an easy KO for Hrgovic. Thought not a fight where he will get much credit on.

2. Tyson Fury, you know the fighter who is busy fighting an 0-0 boxer next. He knows Hrgovic , who isn't a fat and old fighter ( the type Fury prefers) is a makable fight for the public. Call him out anyway as an option.

3. Babic. An all Croatian option. Wait he was already Ko'd in one round. Oh well...


What do you think?

Hrgovic is next in the line for Usyk. That should be his next fight. If even Usyk and Fury make undisputed, Hrgovic can take one stay busy fight while waiting.

Anybody top 40 would be good for stay busy fight.

Anderson is a prospect still, this is not realistic. Zhang will very likely beat Joyce again and remain WBO mandatory.

Hrgovic and Zhang can both wait on their world title shots, no need to fight each other again.

Hrgovic has called out Zhang in China. Anderson is not rated in the top ten, but he is the only one it seems willing to fight Hrgovic. A potential Hrgovic vs. Anderson is a bigger fight once Wilder losses again, say 2024 - 2025 and the media adopts a new American hope in bigger numbers than is is now.

If its not usyk because of the unification it will just be a knock over easy fight just to stay busy. I wouldnt blame him either to be fair hes been number 1 contender for a whle now

question is does he try to find another southpaw opponent or just a standard opponent he can stop early as a confidence booster?

Guido Vianello. That's Hrgovic's level. Just wait a couple more fights and see.

His last two's fights we vs better people than Vianello. Next is the IBF title and for sure he will be fighting someone better.

I know, I was only being ironic. Usually I try not to be overly harsh with my opinions, but Hrgovic is so overrated that I just can't resist.

Okay, gotcha. Hrgovic is the most overrated fighter ever! How did I do? Was that ironic?

No, you didn't get it yet. My irony was in calling Vianello - who I consider a bum - as one of his next opponents. Hrgovic has almost arrived at the top by now, either I like it or not. My prediction is that he will be mashed up good as soon as he fights the division's best. He's a decent fighter, but definitely not the monster they were depicting until the Zhang fight. That hype was unjustified.

Who will mash him up? All fighters are hyped, but Hrogivc has arrived at the top with a trail of fighters passing on him and nearly everyone else Ko'd. IMO is a top 4 heavyweight now. Unless you thought he was a mix between Ali and Lewis, he was not too hyped. And both Ali and Lewis has the share of close calls vs. non top ten opponents and defeats.

Mashed up?? I think that is wishful thinking. The Zhang he beat was a top ten fighter and he fought him with personal problems. But to some he was depictied as Godzilla in the flesh. No he not that.
