Comments Thread For: Filip Hrgovic Ready For Top Names: "In My Mind, I'm The Best"

[Phase III]

Do we know for sure Joshua will be ranked number 2 by the IBF and not Parker?

Of course we know. Think $$$. Also Joshua was main event and got a win. He is more valuable to any corrupt sanctioning body….1M% yes, to answer your question.

. So my question would you make a risk after 7 years....
.

Yeah i probably would.

If the money was there to fight for i'd choose it over a belt, just like Opetaia did.

To be honest, Parker beats him easily, just as he did it with Wilder.

He will probably fight Parker next for IBF title, bcs Joshua is fighting Nganou. He will be 3rd on IBF ranking.
I think Hrgovic will KO Parker

Wallin DID fight good people, like Fury and Gassiev. IMHO he threw the fight against Joshua.

As for Hrg., yes he needs some top challenges. No more ridiculous mismatches like the other night in Arabia.

Fury was years ago, Gassiev is not a proven HW. He was a very good CW. Plenty of top CWs don't make the grade at HW. Basically Wallin never fought anyone since Fury who in any way could prepare him for a top-3 HW. Should have at least fought someone like Whyte. That would have been a good barometer.

Saying Wallin threw the match is funny. People on forums just have to believe they could never be wrong!

Well, who knows, maybe they will fight in March. We will find out soon.
It could be a title fight if the winner of Fury/Usyk vacates the IBF title and Joshua is fighting Ngannou

Funny? There is such a thing as evidence. Wallin didn't even try to throw a single punch with bad intentions. Not one. Wallin didn't even try to move. He just stood right in front of Joshua and let him punch him at will. He looked like a totally inept amateur in his very first fight, except worse. The amateur would have at least tried. As for Gassiev he never lost a fight except a decision loss to the best cruiserweight-heavyweight in the world, Usyk, and then the controversial split decision loss to Wallin. The Fury fight was 4 years ago because Wallin couldn't get any big fights because the big name fighters were avoiding him. They saw what he did to Fury. I agree that Wallin should have fought someone like Whyte before Joshua, but maybe the middle level guys didn't want to fight him.

If they were going to pay anyone to throw a fight it wouldn't be Wallin lol. Joshua just made him look bad. Wallin was no. 10 or 11 but he hasn't really beat anyone good at HW. Gassiev is a small guy coming up. He has beaten zero good opponents at HW. Joshua is much larger and more powerful than Wallin and has a reach advantage. These things matter

They wanted Joshua to look good. They didn't want him coming out looking like Fury did. These things matter $$$. "LOL".
