Dr. Z's top 20 list of heavyweight prospects, January 2024.

100% agreed. I believe I know why Moses Itauma isn't on the list but I will keep that to myself.

someone might want to state the fact that Moses' mother is of South East European descent, I forget if she is a Croat, or a Serbian. His dad is of course Nigerian. Ahem!!! Does the OP hear this!!?

I did. See Q2 2024. Hrgovic has graduated form the list and is no longer eligible for my prospect list. Jump on him now if you must. One loss does not mean he is out of the heavyweight game. He is still a top ten fighter and will get another big fight. He is 1-1 vs the top ten, and oh 4-4 vs the top 25-100 at Box rec.

As others have said... He really is not a prospect regardless. That puts him in a danger zone where he had best have a good outing his next fight. Should he rematch Dubois?

Hrgovic can't deal with Dubois strength and physicality at all imo. Re watch the fight. Dubois simply bullied and pushed Hrgovic around the ring all night. Watch when the ref and Doctor decide to stop the fight. Hrgovic has a sense of relief like thank God that's over. He didn't want to fight at all anymore.

Hrgovic body language and body was the worst thing about that fight imo. He just looked so lazy and unmotivated.

looked the same against Zhang, every time he gets tagged he looks like he wants to quit. It was actually worse against Zhang's punches, he turned around and walked around dazed. People were saying his behaviour against Zhang was due to the recent death of his father, but it seems it's his normal reaction when he can't overwhelm his usual no-hoper opponents. Not looking good for the "heir apparent" of the HW division that many experts thought.
