I do rate him, I think heโs very good. Hrgovic has definitely got those tools and attributes. Heโs got the power, heโs got the frame and size. Heโs got a good team behind him. Itโll be about how heโs matched and how he comes through.
Dave Coldwell
Leading trainer
Heโs got undoubted power. But itโs very hard in that division. You can get excited about somebody and then they step up and you see their weaknesses completely exposed. So Iโm not sure, Iโve not seen enough of him at a good enough level. I still see him at that untested level.
Micky Helliet
Promoter & manager
Iโve been a massive fan of Hrgovic since seeing him edged out in one of my all-time favourite amateur fights against Joe Joyce. He uses his height, reach, head movement, awkwardness and thundering right hand to great effect. Iโd be amazed if he doesnโt at least fight for a belt.
Tony Jeffries
Olympic medallist
He looks the real deal but itโs hard to say exactly how far he can go as he hasnโt fought top class opposition. We need to see him fight someone like Tony Yoka, Otto Wallin or Dillian Whyte to get a better answer.
