    Ustinov, Duhaupas, Rossy, Scott, Hammer would all be good tests.

    Probably Hammer since it would be an easy fight, yet not a full blown tomato can. I think Rossey would be great for Hughie as a fighter, because Rossey never gives you an easy fight. Those kinda of fighters make you better if they don't take your zero.

    Yea hopefully they get something sorted. If they're looking at the likes of Parker/Haye/Jennings then I think they're rushing him a bit. Would be looking at a top 50 fighter but not top 10-15 if I were them.

    Hughie is well schooled and spars and trains with the best in the world and has the same coach.

    Parker is at the most on the same level as Hughie.

    Even Joshua is no great shakes in experience either. His best opponent used to be Hughies sparring partner!

    I think Malik Scott would be the best opponent at this stage. Good skills, very limited power, also ranked by WBC&WBO.
