    Not sold on Hughie Fury. Whilst I have my reservations on Parker I'm confident he would beat Fury.

    If Fury can keep it at distance, which he's well capable of, he'll frustrate Parker who'll take chances to get close. Hughes Fury is in his very early 20s, his power will be growing as he matures, he's also 6'6" and if he hits Parker as he comes in theres every chance of him going down.

    It's a great matchup for us fans but I'm not sure it's a gamble Parker needed to take

    I thought Fury being undefeated and all would be the more enticing match up but from what I hear from the posters on here that I assume are from the UK, it sounds like Hughie isnt very popular. I hope Fury vs Parker isnt held in some community or primary school hall over there.

    Still think this would be a big fight in the UK.

    Sounds familiar to what I heard before Klitschko vs T Fury. It will be a reverse result again.

    I have had it with Jay Z. I think Kayne West would have a tremendous speed and drop that fatass son of a *****. Donald Trump would absoutley destroy that sissy Barack Obama.

    it would
    not because of hughie but because its an event.
    look at the olympics at the O2 in london every session was sold out and full.
    not because anybody new much about the boxers but because it was a big event

    parker v hughie would be marketed as such / heavyweight title fight and would sellout 20,000 O2 arena.

    Think poor Hughie never gets a long enough break from his health issues to develop to his full potential.

    I can see him giving Parker some issues but the power disparity might be the deciding factor.

    But in saying that it didn't stop his cousin he's also has average power

    I hope you're right. The Fury's aren't big draws though, but the fact it's a Brit in a heavyweight title fight may very well bring in the casuals who don't usually watch Fury or even know who he is.

    Hughie Fury maybe more popular in New Zealand than he is at home in the UK. I never seen him fight till just lately but I heard of him in the boxing gym talk last year. I heard good things too.
