Two young British B+ level HW...What do you think about this potential match ? Who wins ? How ? Why do you think so ? One question for British fans : Which one is more popular in your country ?
I would favour Whyte, but it would be a horrible fight. Hughie has very good footwork but barely lands any punches, he might be able to keep Whyte on the end of a jab, however Whyte has a decent workrate and that could sway the judges. The fight would go the distance.
I see it as a wide UD to Fury few years down the line perhaps, but I think being Fury now is so young and developing physically, the older more rugged Whyte will rough him up a bit on the inside, eat shots and just generally cause some problems along the way. Fury still wins though, but not wide.
Whyte by far. He is a name just based off the AJ fight and a lot of people know who he is. Hughie just isn't known enough yet and fighting on Box Nation doesn't help.
