    Obviously Hughie is just starting out and Tyson is still young for a heavyweight, but who do you think will have the better career/legacy?

    At the moment here is a brief 'snapshot' of the top of my head...

    Tyson fury - Size, more natural power, possibly speed?

    Hughie Fury - A better 'boxer', seems to take care of himself better in between fights, will benefit from being around Tyson; camps,experience,management etc

    Things like this can be difficult to predict, but pick one and make your case! :thumbsup

    You need a certain amount of natural ring intelligence to go all the way. Hughie seems to me to possess more of this..

    I think Tyson can win a version of the world title. I do believe in this kid and know the talent he has but i do feel Hughie's a natural fighter and mentally more focused and more skilled then Tyson is at same stage.

    I believe Hughie has special qualities and i think he will only get better his dad is a gentleman and a very focused and wise man. Godbless them guys i hope the Lord Jesus Christ guides them to glory. Always been a fan of Tyson and probably always will be. I understand him. He's a nutcase :rofl.

    If you ever speak to Peter on twitter he's always top class, kind and indepth. He doesn't answer in one word it's a proper answer and even wants to chat to you.

    it's a funny one for me to think about....i think hughie looks better with more potential, at this stage, this early stage for him.......but...i'm not sure he could, in the future, beat tyson as he is now....and yet i could see hughie beating men i wouldn't pick tyson to beat.
    i'm not making any sense am i ?

    Let's remember, Tyson is young for a HW himself. Many years ahead of him.

    Exactly the good lord may of blessed Tyson with all these pull outs and fights not happening.

    He's still fresh, still learning and still evolving as a fighter. Patience is a virtue and timing is so key in Boxing.

    Many saw a horrible display on Saturday. I saw a wonderful first KD and i saw the lad toy with a guy who he would of struggled badly with 2 years ago.

    He's still raw but he's developing IMO. His weight is being questioned but his cardio and speed was still there.

    I think Tyson will have a shot to a world title and he can win this if the opponent isn't Wladimir or Haye. I don't see Hughie arriving to a world class level. www.teniendoexito.com

    Hughie is more talented and better skills. One thing we don't know is how he takes a solid shot on the chops from a strong puncher. The body punching alone gives him a big edge over other HW's.

    Going to say Tyson personally,I don't think that either will win a world title, but if one were too it would be Tyson. His almost unique size will always make him a problem and a factor in the HW division, I just don't think Hughie will be good enough...

    It's a bit too early to answer this question as Hughie is still so early into his career, a year from now and we'd have a much better idea which will go further.

    Tyson has a good chance of becoming a world champion after Vlad retires. The more I see him fight the more impressed I am.

    Hughie has a lot of potential, could go further than Tyson, but right now it's too early to judge him. Hughie does appear to have more talent, but only time will tell. He is looking good for his age and amount of fight experience.......I think he will become a world champion, but it will take some time..........

    Looking at the size of hugie's legs ( NO GAY UP HERE.)
    Reckon they would keep him pretty upright, solid foundations not like Tyson..

    Also I just rewatched some of Tysons earlier fights and I think he is actually deteriorating both physically and in terms of skills.
