    Hughie Fury will be Fighting Tomas Mrazek this weekend and according to boxrec will be fighting again in July against Darren Corbett, decent step up IMO, thoughts?

    True, but his record is much better than Fury's last 5 opponents.

    Just seen Corbett's last fight, never even knew he had gotten that fat, retired in the 1st round with an ankle injury, must have been all that extra weight, think you may be right.
     
  6. Yeah reasonable step up

    But Corbett looked fleshy at cruiser so what will he look like stepping up in weight

    At this stage he needs to fight often against various opponents,build up slowly, I'd say at 18, and 3/4 fights in this fight is totally acceptable

    Peter Fury said on twitter the other week that they were looking at fighting Gregor Toney in September that would be a big test at this stage of hughies career

    He's 18 and still learning. I'd be concerned if he was not as busy as he is now. Later on this year he should step it up.

    I'm not saying he needs to fight world champs, but he needs to fight boxers who have some idea of what winning a fight means, not professional opponents who haven't so much have tried to win a round since Baby Huey was learning to shave.

    I'll take a 5-3 guy with limited ability who is at least in there trying to win every time over guys who are only there to lose and not even try.

    And if Baby Huey wants to be seen as a "raw 18-year-old novice just learning his way," he can shut his trap about breaking Tyson's record and act like a guy who wants to be seen as green behind the ears. If he wants to compare himself to Tyson, he deserves the same kind of scrutiny Tyson had from the start.
