Usyk vs Hrgovic would be the highest technical skill level heavyweight fight ever.

[Atypicalbrit]

Nobody comes close.

I mean even great technicians like Ali generally operated vs sluggers like Foreman and frazier.

Usyk and Hrgovic technical skill levels place them on the all timers list and this would be the highest level chess match in heavyweight history.

You are clearly given to exaggeration and hyperbole, and that speaks to your passion which is cool. It's a good fight for sure though, if Usyk beats Fury I'm happy to see that fight next.

The thread is a tard turd and nothing more.

As would I. Usyk is unlikely to be on top after a year or so.

Hrgovic is the highest rated under 32 year olds heavyweight. That is not hyperbole. If it is in you opinion tell me who is the best 32 and under heavyweight is.

It's a good fight, but if usyk beats fury, who knows who usy k fights next? Id prefer usy k v flip than josh v usy k for 3rd time

Usyk will likely retire after. I think he has hinted at it a couple of times.

Usyk vs. Hrgovic would certainly be a quality match regardless of how Fury - Usyk I and Hrgovic - Dubois come out.

For pure boxing science, I'd go with Zora Folley vs. Eddie Machen myself, but today they'd be Cruiserweights.

Don't know what significance age 32 holds, but the best at the moment who are 32 and under seem to me to be:


1. Joseph Parker, New Zealand, 32
2. Agit Kabayel, Germany, 31
3. Daniel Dubois, England, 26
4. Filip Hrgovic, Croatia, 31
5. Frank Sanchez, Cuba, 31
6. Jared Anderson, USA, 24
7. Martin Bakole, Congo, 30
8. Efe Ajagba, Nigeria, 29
9. Fabio Wardley, England, 29
10. Murat Gassiev, Russia, 30
11. Frazier Clarke, England, 32
12. Lenier Pero, Cuba, 31
13. Bakhodir Jalolov, Uzbekistan, 29
14. Justice Huni, Austrailia, 25
15. Alexis Barriere, Canada, 28
16. Jermaine Franklin Jr, USA, 30
17. Ryad Merhy, Belgium, 31
18. Vladyslav Sirenko, Ukraine, 29
19. Tony Yoka, France, 31
20. Kevin Lerena, South Africa, 31
21. Richard Torrez Jr, USA, 24
22. Evgeny Tishchenko, Russia, 32
23. Tom Schwarz, Germany, 29
24. Mourad Aliev, France, 28
25. Sonny Conto, USA, 24

Joshua is superior technically to Hrgovic, imo. Joshua's Achilles heel vs Usyk was his stamina. Usyk cranked up the activity level and beat a tired Joshua in the championship rounds.

[crimsonfalcon07]

I do not get the Hrgovic hype. He was lucky to get the nod vs Zhang IMO, and that's his best opponent to date. He's slow like Makhmudov, with a lot of technical holes in his game. I'd like to see him in against another actual contender or ex champion before I buy into the hype. I really doubt he could get past AJ or Parker, let alone the current champs. Dubois will be a decent win if he comes in the form he had vs Miller.
