    Lack of power? People need to get a grip - all things being equal, a teenager is weaker than a full grown man of twenty-something. C'mon, a bit of perspective.

    Thats not always the case, look at Tyson he had serious power as a teenager, people do get stronger as they bulk up a bit but real power comes from a combinatin of technique and build

    Lack of power?? Some of the stuff I read on this forum is truly laughable. He is a 19 year old kid for ****s sake!!

    I get the feeling he is holding back to gain rounds

    Hughie definitely holds back.... He's even said in interviews that he does so. Hughie is only 19 and is not even in his physical prime yet... He will likely get bigger and stronger, and maybe we will find out that he has some power after all.. too early to call him a few contender, but I like this kid and hope he goes far.

    Once again ...

    Let's have a thread to talk about how great Hughie is, but dare to criticize and "he's a wee lad, just 12 years old, hasn't even started shaving yet."

    If he's worth having a thread a week, discussing his lack of power or lack of viable opposition (his opponents have lost, what, a collective 140 fights) is fair game.
