    He actually didn't have any injury issued for the Hughie fight and dealt pretty well... Even if not perfectly against a taller very mobile, awkward and very negative Hughie to be fair.

    If Hughie did use the same approach against Sexton as he did against Parker I doubt he would box again. Nobody would pay to watch. That's for sure.

    Sam Sexton is just as feather fisted as H.Fury, 24W/9Kos is pretty soft for a heavy, it will give Fury the chance to mix it up a bit, try and make a statement. But don't be fooled, the first puncher he faces after Sexton he's back on his rocket powered bike.

    But still not quite as ridiculous as Pacquiao telling Kellerman in the post-fight interview that he thought he beat Floyd. :lol:

    He's like the mirror opposite of Wilder.

    To demonstrate the difference, at the weigh-in he’s going to literally bust a grape with a punch. Or a 5-punch combination. Or get Tyson to step on it if the first two options don’t work.

    Seriously? I think you need to give that one a bit more thought.

    Chin and movement counters those 3 attributes.

    Question is, how does someone with only those 3 attributes get on against a slick fighter?
    Wilder is the best reference here. I understand he has come back from being outclassed by huge underdogs, but they have proven over and over that some one with only those attributes can be beaten easily.

    They just haven't had the movement or chin to avoid getting caught before it was too late for Wilder.

    Take Tyson Fury for example. I see him beating Wilder in embarrassing fashion. Not because i'm Fury fan, but he has the tools to make a boring fight with Wilder and expose Wilders weaknesses as he wouldn't be apply to apply the 3 very things you mentioned above.

    At heavyweight, even more so than other divisions, you are literallly one punch from disaster.

    If you lack power, strength and aggression in the heavyweight ranks you need to be slick, busy and lucky too. I don't think Hughie Fury has those attributes in sufficient quantities to trouble the top guys in the division. A view shared by many others.
