    Who would be a good opponent for Hughie Fury's next fight?

    U
    Gary cornish would be a good gauge to see where hes at...if hughie schooled him for 12 rounds...thats better than a 1st round ko i.m.o

    :rofl:rofl:rofl what would that tell us about hughie? cornish is fragile and has been fed the worst cans in lithuania who have boxed at super middle upwards and was totally abused in 90 seconds against joshua. if hughie took 12 rounds to beat cornish then i think we would be looking at hughie being domestic level at best.

    Hughie doesn't seem to have his cousin's inside game.

    Hughie is 21.....he has years to develop his power....cornish is not a bad boxer...speaking strictly boxing terms...plus hes a ukfighter...and has featured in a massive o2 show on sky...so at least people know who he is....hughie is a very good boxer....plus peter has had a nightmare time matching him up....

    that doesn't explain why him schooling cornish for 12 rounds would be better than the demolition job that joshua did? i understand that getting fighters to go more rounds can benefit them later in bigger fights but hughie would be ridiculed if he didn't get cornish out of there . I'm not saying he would need to match joshuas 1 round ko but anything more than 4 rounds and it really wouldn't look good on hughie.
     
  7. Ortiz or Parker.

    No more rubbish Eastern Europeans. Fight someone who can bang.

    Tony Thompson, Bermane Stiverne, Dereck Chisora. I don't think he loses more than 4 rounds in all three fights combined.

    Doubtful Hughie could last 4 rounds with any of these fighters mentioned.

    Cornish? Huggie already beat Rudenko clearly, wich means beating the likes of Cornish wouldn't do anything for him.

    Why do people here keep bringing up this guy? Probably that insanly padded record, because I can't see anything else that would impress someone.

    Can Hughie handle a solid chinned guy coming forward to fight a inside game? I'd doubt it, so match ups for him in the next 3 to 4 fights will be the likes of Cornish-type opponents.

    Did anyone see Hughies training videos on Periscope? He seems so slow. Especially when he was trying to develop his inside shots...Peter was getting really angry with him.

    It has been Tweeted that he will fight for a major title in March

    We can Exclude British & Commonwealth - AJ & European - Pulev / Chisora

    It is probably an Intercontinental, WBO Europe etc

    I assume it must 5th March - Blackwell v Eubank Jnr card

    It might be for the English. Who he'd fight for that is anyone's guess.
