    His las fight vs Parker was a huge robbery and as Hennesey rightly stated, it was shades of Ali in there, a very special night reminiscent of the huge nights od boxing in the 80s.

    Hughie Fury is not an elite boxer and will never be.

    Best ever at running around the ring maybe. Shades of Usain Bolt.

    Actually hitting people - not so much.

    The Parker result was fair. It was an awful fight though.

    He doesn't even have a chance of being the best Fury ever.

    Any professional HW would be Lomchencko. David Price would beat Lomachenko (well maybe)

    He didnt show shades of Ali.
    Muhammad Ali showed shades of Hughie Fury.
    Hughie Fury the GOAT

    I doubt he'll ever be TBE - I think that nasty illness he suffered from for many years has probably robbed him of his chance of ever accomplishing that - but he can definitely put himself in the conversation as one of the best ever.

    The best ever, obviously not as Parker already beat him.

    But I think Hughie can regroup. His team simply came in with the wrong strategy, they tried to do what Tyson did and move and spoil his way to a decision as it was in the UK. But Hughie didn't have Wlad in front of him, who couldn't adjust and pressure Tyson and so was out boxed. Parker may not be as good as Wlad but he had a better style to cope with Hughie's strategy.

    Hughie needs to learn what worked against Wlad won't work against everyone. He's young enough to learn from his mistakes and come again.
