Hughie Fury. How good is he?

Yes Parker can get a decision in the UK and he will get the win by decision imo. It will be interesting to see if HF can step up though. Personally, I think Parker will be too much for him.

 

Fury won,t last long against Parker..great odds btw

 

I think Hughie has the skills to compete at top level but that doesn't mean he can. Depends how he takes a punch at this level and whether or not he has the heart, desire and self belief as well. You see plenty of guys with talent and ability never reach their potential because they are lacking in these areas. I guess we'll see against Parker if he has these abilities.

 

He's still very much a prospect and is facing Parker too early in my view given the time he's had off because of his illness. Good intelligent movement but lack of power and intensity.

 

I'm not sure how good he is. His cousin is probably the top heavyweight right now but his mental problems are getting the best of him. The Tyson Fury that beat Wlad would beat Joshua and Wilder with ease. The only fighters that would be a threat to a in shape Tyson Fury is Ortiz. After Jennings and Thompson both said Ortiz hits harder than Wlad I understand why Joshua is ducking him being his chin sucks. But this fight Hughie has with overrated Parker will tell us a lot about him. Hughie is still very young so win or lose he has time to recover. But if he wins this fight he may be a fighter that can be Champion for a long timeccas long as he avoids Ortiz.

 

I think he is a good fighter but we tend to forget how young he is. His fight with Parker Will tell us a lot about him. I hope he can overcome his skin disease. His skin disease may cause him to cut easy like the Klitschkos. It was a damn shame how easy Wlad cut. It got to the point where Wlad got cut in every fight.

 

I think Hughie can win this on points

whispers of this fight not going ahead now due to poor ticket sales and still no tv channel

 

What?? I heard that theres poor ticket sales but didn't think that could end up cancelling out the fight.

 

@anjawnaymiz is quite correct, there are rumours that the fight won't go ahead. I doubt the rumours are true though, Hughie will never get a better chance to fight for a world title.

 

The usual B class crap from the UK.

 

Would be a shame if this fight is cancelled as it's an intriguing match up and both men have been inactive for too long now another cancellation would be disastrous and you'd have to wonder about how feasible any future proposed fight is if there isn't the interest to make it financially viable.

But I think this was always a danger. It's probably why it really got cancelled the last time and why it got moved to the UK in hopes UK fans would come out and support Fury. Problem is neither men are big draws and the Fury name is now mud in the industry they have pulled out of too many fights and fans won't risk purchasing tickets or booking accommodation for a fight they don't believe will happen. Hopefully people are just waiting until the last minute to see if it gets cancelled and there will be an influx of late purchases, but I'm not hopeful.

 

It got cancelled last time because Hughie wouldn't fight in New Zealand.

Now apparently there's not enough interest / money in England to make it happen.

It's a train wreck presided over by an incompetent sanctioning body.

The fight should have happened months ago in New Zealand.

Hughie couldn't draw flies to a dump.

 

Eddie Hall may well be Wilder's next opponent
