Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce, Filip Hrgovic Ordered For EBU Belt, Purse Bid on Feb. 12

Sh^t man Pulev level is respectable lol. He's a solid top ten guy & I feel like he's gradually moved more to the middle of the top ten then he's lingering at the bottom of it.

Some of you guys are hard on mfers when a top ten guy isn't seen as "serious".

Well, a top ten can't contain exceptional fighters only.

Pulev was destroyed by Klitschko in his only genuine fight at top level. For the rest, he went across the typical heap of hasbeens and neverwases, sometimes even struggling. He is good enough at European level, but Wilder, Fury and AJ would all defeat him with ease.

Hell, someone like Andrew Golota would have made mincemeat of Pulev in his best day (and barring madness explosions…). Now THAT was an European fighter worthy of being considered. Too bad his head was non-existent...

Having said that, I was more referring to Hrgovic's inflated value than Pulev's general standing. I think that the Croatian is way overrated.

Crazy talk, Hrgovic is better then both DDD and Joyce who he already defeated I thought but lost a close 5 rounder . I think Hrgovic can defeat Wilder right now and if he can get a win on AJ will rule the division but that’s the only guy I see stopping him .

I don't see it that way, but of course time will tell.

Hrgovic looks as flexible as a concrete slab to me. Remember when Wlad Klitschko was considered a Superman, then he lost to Ross Puritty?

Klitschko was 225 pounds and didn’t know what punch counts were ,that has no relevance on a very smart fighter at 6”6 240 plus who punishes people with an iron chin . Hrgovic is one of the best fighters in the past decade .

Hrgovic vs Joyce would be Interesting, and so is Joyce vs Dubois. I'd mildly prefer the latter, since the former would probably be a "slower" match

i actually like this fight. Two good prospects really fighting.

[5000boxing]

Joyce will steamroll both!

OK, I'll wait for you in due time

But I'll be the first to congratulate you if he achieves more than I predict.

Hirgovic looks like a future champ to me and has advantageous attributes---reach, height. I've seem enough to consider him an intelligent fighter who isn't one dimentional, although I want him to up the level of opposition in his next fight; please no more men like Molina. Chisora would be good on his resume if only War would be interested.

I urge anyone who is interested to go see Hirgovic vs Demerizen (Rio Olympics). I was particularly impressed with the WAY Filip fought in that one. And, of course, Demerizen is a decent come-forward fighter.

[SN!PER]

Hrgovic VS. Yoka or Bakole please!

[JakeTheBoxer]

I would prefer Hrgovic - Bakole and Dubois - Joyce.

So fo we get Hrgovic vs Huck for the vacant EBU then?
