    Hard to say until we see Joshua turn pro, ATM I'd lean towards Hughie.

    Hughie looks far more fluid and natural to me with a nice spring in his step. The chap seems to have respectable power to which is good for his age. I think he's just turned 18 too. From the age of 18 until about 23 this is where you start to develop your explosive power, strength and speed. This young Fury kid could be looking the bizness at 23.

    Joshua for me seems to be a Helenius clone and could go far matched against the right type of opponent. He will probably be more suited to the pros than the ams. Again he's very young so has time to sort out his many, many flaws.

    So I reckon Fury will achieve more in the pros when all is said and done.

    Hughie. Much more natural ability. Joshua is like a robot.

    The younger Fury, for only having 2 fights, looks like the real deal.

    I will be honest here, he looks the best heavyweight prospect.

    Hughie does look sensational for 18. Purely hypothetical, would people pick him to do someone of the stature of McDermott if they were to fight tomorrow?

    Even at this early stage I thin Hughie stops him.

    Very impressed with Hughie Fury, too early to be sure either way as to who would be the best out of him and Joshua though. Would need to see Joshua in the pro ranks and a bit more of Fury but both have large potential

    Joshua needs to turn pro because its hard to judge from his showing at the Olympics. fancy Hughie to get to the top. Johusa is a toss up could go either way.

    Hughie looks very good! With natural skills, power and speed. Something Fury has not. Lets hope he has not the chin of his brother. Hughie has big talent.

    Is Hughie Fury the guy who posts on here with the user name 'Dempsey's Right' or something, who is always getting into arguments with other posters?!
