    AJ looked great against Wallin. I'm not the only one who thought Otto would frustrate AJ with his boxing savvy and southpaw stance. I sure was wrong as Josh destroyed him with ease. It's tough to rate the spectacular KO of Francis as the guy is not a boxer. Still, AJ has looked fast, sharp, and mean of late.

    Hrgo is no joke. He took some massive shots from Zhang (who may hit harder than Joshua) and kept coming. He's strong and hits hard, too. Flip is probably too stationary, though. AJ is a sharp, accurate puncher against anyone not name Usyk.

    There is always the chance Flip clips him, but I won't go higher than 3.

      Yes, he is one-dimensional - back and forth like Joyce. I liked Hrgovic until his last fight where he showed an extremely dirty game. He better pull himself together and improve, he still has the chance.
      I view his foot speed and hand speed at a +.

      He knocked De Mori out in one round in his last fight. Where was he dirty? The fight before that he KO'd McKean clean. If you watch the finishing blow it was delivered with speed and power. BOOM he was gone. An impressive blow is was.

      Hrgovic can win by boxing or slugging at any range. His style forces his man to confront him for 80% of the round, or the can give up rounds by keeping away...hoping to counter when they can.

      He does not move his head much, few heavyweights do.

        It is simple: we see it differently.

          Like a 5 or 6. He has skills but is too robotic the first 4 rounds.

            Speed is always relative. He's looked like having decent speed against poor opponents and against the Zhang that finally looked slow when in with a decent level boxer.

            Hrgovic has his attributes but speed isn't one of them. I believe if you put him in with Joshua then he'll look plodding.

              Joshua is a far more proven fighter. I don’t think AJ is revitalised or any of that media nonsense you hear. He’s the exact same fighter, explosive, athletic, dangerous but vulnerable. However, he should have enough to deal with Hrgovic. I’d make AJ a big favourite.

                    People are overrating Joshua again.

                    Joshua is still the same guy as befor thhe first Ruiz fight. I think he goes panic mode again when somebody strong starts landing.

                    Hrgovic is slow and robotic, sure, but Joshua is not some defensive wizard either.

                    I think Sanchez and Kabayel would have a good chance against Hrgovic.
