    Exactly. Hrgovic is definitely a potentially dangerous foe and I'm not sure how much revenue he brings behind him (the pitfalls of being born in a very small country).

    Ruiz might as well retire.
    I believe Ruiz is scheduled to fight Miller in august on Crawford undercard?

      Good for Andy. Coming off a nice 25 month layoff since the Ortiz fight. Miller will be his 3rd fight since his second fight with AJ (December 2019).

        Hrgovic is a boogeyman. Only guys that must fight him, fight him.
        Hunter apparently got paid more by Triller to fight the likes of Mike "White Delight" Wilson than the Hrgovic fight was going to net him. That was when Triller was offering ****** money to get in the boxing game. Alot of fighters follow the money....

        It's funny how all the "boogeymen" of boxing always seem to be guys who have limited fanbases and bring little economic incentive.

        I remember Makhmudov was supposed to be a Boogeyman too. Until he wasn't.

          I don't really agree with this. Dubois is a massive puncher, he just has a lot of flaws from his durability to his heart and resistance. I'd like to see him put it all together against Hrgovic although Filip is a clear favorite for good reason.

            The stiff Croat is ready for his day of reckoning.

              Dubois took a knee after Joyce literally broke his face. That's not quitting, that's common sense. Now, against Usyk, he quit, likely after being discouraged by Pabon"s low-blow call on a belt shot. Usyk hates shots to the gut, as demonstrated by Joshua, Dubois and Fury. If an opponent hits him there consistently, he'll crap himself.Hrgovic had better rely on more than what he believes is a psychological advantage. I'm going with Dubois.

                Dubois looks like he has faster hand speed and has demonstrated he can work from the outside. So far, I don't see the hype with Hrgovic. This fight, for me, is a great litmus test for both fighters. Has Dubois found the dog in him? Is Hrgovic good enough to fight someone with decent skill and speed, who likes to consistently commit to the low blows, I mean, body shots? Volume, not power, will be Dubois' friend in this fight, I suspect. I think he can wear the big guy down and bank points, and win if it goes 12. But he's going to have to avoid quitting.

                  It depends what is common sense and bravery in your opinion.
                  2016 Tony Bellew fought for WBC world title vs Ilungu Makabu and he got broken nose. He did not quit, instead of that he continued and KO Makabu.

                  "He broke my nose with that left jab. I'm talking through my nose now, but I have a green and gold belt. If I had to take my nose off my face for that belt, I would," Bellew said after the win.

                    Zhangs punches come 1 mile per hour. You got time to make a sandwich and still get out the way. DD is much faster and should be able to land much more punches.
                    yes filip has showed a very good chin so far. But Dubois and Joyce showed great chins up until they got cracked too many times

                      I have to disagree ZZ is very fast. How come if his slow that he always finds way to hit Parker Hergovic and everybody else with who he is fighting
