    Easier said than done. And Hrgovic is the definition of a fighter built for the amateurs. He gasses after four rounds 100% of the time.

      especially considering nobody had even ranked Zhang until that fight.
      I think Hrgovic has quit in him. Watching him repeatedly turn his back to Zhang and all the obviously intentional rabbit punches in damn near every fight says a lot.

        Thing is with Hrgovic is, he needs about 3 rounds to recover after a sustained attack. I think Usyk outworks him to a UD but he has his vulnerabilities at the weight so it's definitely not a foregone conclusion but to me, Hrgovic hasn't got the engine to dethrone Usyk.

          Usyk will lose to Hrgović or either drop the belts. There will never be a Fury fight. If it was ever going to happen, it would have happen instead of Dubios. He has a bunch of belts and wants to ride it out as long as he can =---> fighting Fury is such an utter gamble and they put up roadblocks to avoid it. Smart move, I would have done the same thing if I was Usyk.
          Usyk wins against Hrgovic´

            Quit or not, he gasses early, often and hard

              And he has love handles too! Maybe he thinks the other fighter love being held by him!

                This is false an internet rumor of his detractors. A better indication his punch out put ( check the punch stats ) which is rather high and how he retains his power which is well.

                He has shown this in the later rounds vs top # 50 to #4 opponents ranked by ring magazine and box rec.

                Don't get me wrong he is not in ideal shape, but he will be for Usyk! That is if he dares to take the fight.

                  sure he does.

                  Gassed fighter do not move around much. They clinch with the mouth wide open and throw few punches. The also do not retain their power and speed. Surly you some examples of Hrgoivic doing what you say? Show me which fight and when. All his fights are on the web.

                    I don't think Hrgovic is bad, but he isn't nearly as good as I thought he was going to be. Here's the thing about him fighting Usyk. Hrgovic cannot fight lefties. He got a lucky win against Zhang, and looked terrible against McKean. Usyk will box his head off.

                      Hrgovic vs Usyk would look like a dog chasing a wasp.
