Filip Hrgović is the best heavyweight prospect right now

[Boxnation fan]

O...K

What a load of trash. Stop talking ****. He isn't even on the level of a glorified sparring partner let alone a prospect. At least put up your sources to all these outlandish claims. Dubois has those stories too which have more credibility like him knocking out AJ in sparring.

Right now Dubois is the one leading the prospect tag in the heavyweight division mainly because it's common sense for a 20 yr old to improve immensely with time. Plus he doesn't look much worse than a Chisora/Whyte level fighter already.

Well said.

This guy should be getting a lot more hype. He just made his pro debut in September after having a great amateur career with a lot of difficult world series of boxing bouts so he has plenty of boxing experience already despite being only 25. He also sparred with Wilder, Haye, Klitschko... He busted up Haye and opened up a cut which forced him to cancel the Fury fight. Hrgović also boasts that he was "equal if not better" than Klitschko when they sparred earlier this year.

While he was a good amateur, I think his style is even better suited for the pro game and for 12 round fights since he has incredibly cardio for a man of his size, from what we saw he also appears very durable.

He's 6 foot 6, same size as Joshua. I think Hrgović vs Joshua would be a great fight down the line once Hrgović gets more pro experience.

In one of the interviews Hrgović said that he already has a lot of experience due to his amateur career and doesn't need too many tune ups and cans.

It's hard to tell anything from his first two fights IMO, I remember watching him at York Hall vs Joe Joyce in the WSB a few years ago and I want very impressed with him tbh. He has probably improved since then though, he certainly looks a lot more physically imposing now. I didn't see much of him when he won gold at the 2015 EU champs. I heard he looked good though. I thought he looked decent against Yoka, I thought he was unlucky not to get the nod in one of those fights in Doha and Rio.
He seems to have a good jab, 1-2 combo and decent footwork for a big man, so he clearly has some solid tools that will serve him well in the pros.
As for whether he's the best HW prospect out there, it's way too early to tell IMO. I'll certainly keep an eye on him though.

What is it that you see in Dubois to make you think that? I don't think you can really tell anything from his first 5 fights, he passes the "eye test" for me so far though. He looks to have solid tools and fundamentals IMO.

Honestly just winding up the guy above. Knew he would see this, posting Dubois and Yardes name everywhere. Think theyre euro level at best. Im only convinced by Taylor and Kelly at the moment

Fair enough man, I'm not convinced by Yarde either yet, I like Dubois though.
I'm very high on Taylor, I even traveled up to Glasgow to see him smash Ohara up. Kelly looks the pick of the Olympians turning over, I'd like to see him moved a little quicker though.

Dubois is decent but he's smaller than Hrgović and his cardio is an unknown. Hrgović is rumored to be a total cardio freak (for a guy of his size). In one of the interviews he said that he can't wait for pro fights with more rounds to show his great cardio.

From what he's shown so far, Hrgović seems to have great chin, cardio and size. My bet is that he will take those explosive 1st round KO guys into deep waters and pick them apart late in the fight.

Reci im zmajo

Taylor will become champ now that Crawfords gone I think he's the real deal

Usyk toys with this bum's bum.

Agreed, he's a world champion in waiting, unfortunately he isn't ranked that highly by any of the organisation's. He's like 7th with the WBC I think so he's 2 or 3 fights away from a title shot I think
