Hughie says Wilder wants to face him in February. Anyone give Hughie Fury a shot if this fight goes ahead? From what I've seen of Hughie he looks decent but he lacks power and this fight could be a bit too early for him. Would like to see him in with better competition before stepping up to face Wilder.
Think it's a tad too early for him, i'd imagine they'll try the exact same game plan Tyson did to Wlad. Problem is, Wilder is younger and isn't afraid to let his hands go like Wlad, all depends on how Hughie takes the shot.
Hughie as been touted for many big fights but they never ever happen I'm told he as This content is protected
Ha ha, nice! I doubt Wilder risks his belt on this but if the two ever meet, Hughie schools him all day. Pretty easy fight for Fury I feel. I know a lot of people are sold on Windmill-Wilder but I see massive limitations in his game someone as technically sound as HF will badly expose. As Dwyer might recommend: HF to win, hedged with DW by KO. Easy money...
I feel like I'm in the minority, but I really don't rate Hughie. He can box, but looks one paced and has little power. He's just an OK fighter imo.
RE Hughie Fury, before you call him average, take into account all you've seen of him has been hampered by a blood disorder. He's still very young for a hw and is dispatching capable grown men without being shaken or really showing notable flaws. The lack of drama should be a clue that he really is that good. Plus he trains day in, day out with a lineal title winning team. He's avoided badly I think, he'll do big things soon.
but its the same old story he is young he is developing he is ill he just needs time then look at Joshua we can only keep listening to the same old same old for so long
I am with you Del, I'm not yet seeing what others are, I'm not saying Hughie can't end up being very useful but I haven't seen anything yet to suggest he is or is going to be a top level heavyweight.
Hang on! Compare Joshua to Tyson Fury, not Hughie! They're a similar age. Btw, has Joshua beaten anyone Hughie couldn't? It's easier for Hughie to develop more pop than it is for Joshua to develop tactical awareness, legs, shot selection etc etc. Joshua gets found out soon enough I feel, I like his steez but he is the illusion IMO, not HF. Time will tell i guess...
Meaning age and time frame If Hughie is miles ahead then I don't want to hear no more of the above There is a time un ones life when it comes to put up or just shut up and I am getting to the point of the latter
Fair points there mate. I forgot he had that blood disorder so no doubt that's effected his performances and progress.
So the fighter who was not ready for Dyllian Whyte 6 months ago, is now going to be facing one of the objective top 5 in the division early next year? This fight never happens.
Deontay's resume is barely much better than Hughie's. He can punch though. Hughie can't punch, it seems. But then Hughie is possibly better boxer. Wilder was brought along even slower than Hughie is. What's Hughie had ? 20 fights ? something like that. Wilder's first 20 were dreadful. Hughie's last opponent was as good a Wilder's last defence.
