    People seem to have written him off because of a couple of below par performance because of illness!

    But before that he was looking very good...
    He was an excellent amateur, he has all the tools to be a success, he's only just turned 20 . he's a baby for a heavyweight ...

    If he gets his health sorted he could be big star in this country,. his potential is huge .. imagine how good he could be if he continues to improve!

    He looked good against the 'touch 'n gone' kinda opponents, but beyond that he started to look pretty ordinary.
    If some worm had eaten up all his strength at that time already then fine, but I think that only came into play in his last couple of fights.

    He looked promising in his first couple of fights, but after that I really started to question his abilities.

    Agree, I rate Hughie.

    Very young with bags of potential - hopefully he gets over this illness asap.

    Agreed, he is very young for a heavyweight. Can afford a few bad performances, even a couple of losses actually; it's all a learning curve at this stage.

    I'd rather see the tapeworm step up and start fighting some journeymen

    He does look good but not sure about world level maybe european level would not mind him vs Joshua in the next 12 months.
