    Dark horse in my opinion. He's got skills and I think he'll handle Parker. Must be hard living in Tysons shadow?

    Lower Fury is still an underrated fistic midget, though.

    Good enough to get dominated and KO'd by Parker. Decent skills, no power. Not as good as his Dad wan'ts us to believe. Always not 100% and so always an excuse for his lacklustre performances...albeit winning performances. I do wish him well, and hope he can pull it off vs Parker but I just don't see it. He's a likeable chap unlike Tyson, who's mouth just spoils him beyond being likeable for me.

    Elite World Class level. Hughie has been bred 300 year to fight.

    Joe Parker is a great fighter no doubt but Hughie is on a different level than all these other Heavyweights at the moment .

    Similar to what you said about David Price. You might be jinxing all the British boxers with your support.

    He can box quite well, but he had an illness and took a lot of time off, don't know how much that affected him.................I think Parker will beat Hughie, but can Parker get a decision in UK?

    Helenius kills him so bad Tyson will shed a big fat gypsy tear and sing a sad song on insta.

    He's very fundamentally sound but lacks flair or fight ending power. Good at controlling distance, maintains balance and form at all times, good educated jab that he varies depending on the situation, nice crisp combinations, an understanding of the clinch as a tool to stymy the action, decent head movement and generally shows an alright ability to pace himself. There's very little that he does wrong, but on that note there's nothing he does exceptionally either. He's a fighter I can't muster any enthusiasm to watch, if I'm being honest.
