    It would be the battle of the most ferocious jabs the heavyweight division has ever seen, but who's jab turns the face of the other into burger meat first?

    This 'fight' would have been a crime against humanity - nobody wins, everybody loses

    It would be like watching paint drying in slow motion with Phil Neville commentating (for non football fans - the dullest commentator ever surely).

    Both circling each other, pawing half hearted jabs, Harrison being scared of Fury despite his obvious lack of power.

    I actually quite liked Harrison in a way - seemed a nice guy - but clearly hated being hit which is kind of limiting for a boxer. I think Hughie is a bit tougher but needs to learn from his last fight that flick jabs will only get him so far.

    If Hughie could ever win the respected WBF title and defend it once successfully then he could be considered as at least equal to the MBE great and respected Audley Harrison.

    However as it stands he is just another British level HW fighter, who has never faced anyone half decent other than Parker, who comprehensively beat him by a wide UD in a fight he fought more scared than Audley did on his most scared fight night.

    Flick jabs get you no where at any weight class from Middleweight upwards.

    Flick jabs running backwards are a judges red flag that the boxer is a sparring partner paid by the hour, and doesnt have any career of his own.

    No matter how clever you think you are running back and sideways avoiding an opponents heat, you cannot win a fight doing so only that.

    Audley was terrible but by any criteria he's better than Hughey Fury - belts, quality of opposition , amateur career , punch power, two prizefighters - plus he was a big character, it's as simple as that.
