    Don't label us all with the same brush....

    Hughie isn't going to be anywhere near the level of Tyson.

    He's showed 0 improvements from the Parker fight.

    Hughie was a bit different, he counter punched more. Now that doesn't mean he'd beat Parker because while that would see Hughie have more success as he catches Parker coming in, it would also mean Parker would have more success as Hughie would give him more opportunities to land his own shots.

    We need to see Hughie in with a more dangerous opponent to see if has really changed or if he'll revert to form when under more pressure.

    Beating a British 2.0 fighter is a huge ask of any fighter than doesn't emanate from these shores and possess 2.0 potential.

    Okay. I was trying to be frivolous. Why do you lot have singalongs during fights anyway? Sounds so poncy.. especially when your bloke gets knocked out right in the middle of a "rousing number"

    You could make a case for Hughie via punch count round for round in slow motion.

    He certainly looks like a boxer with that prominent brow ridge. Dempsey and Schmeling rolled into one.

    Hughie will be lucky to end his career with wins over a handful of top five heavyweights, if his career pans out which I'm not particularly high on.

    If Hughie was so fantastic he would not have straight up turned down fights with Whyte, Chisora and Joe Joyce.

    In truth, Hughie is a con man.

    What is Hughies career best win anyone?

    Joe Joyce knocks him out.
