    Logic and reason is not allowed when discussing Hughie Fury. Shame on you.

    Good to see you adhere to those rules. Seeing as you cant understand the logic or reason in a bit of PR and take every word as gospel.

    You do realise they openly called Thompson out?

    Given Thompson is at a certain level in the HW scene, which opponents did they pick on a fairly similar level once he turned down the offer?

    how much money you think mick has to get a known name down to mecca bingo on a sunday night? I would of assumed this would of been on the Haye Fury undercard... If in Feb they dont have a good name lined up for Hughie, i will hold my hands up and say i was wrong.:good

    It's ridiculous that they dare to still call it "amateur".
    The Olympics is a joke. It's amateurs versus professionals, and not just in boxing.

    Hughie Fury turned 19 last month. He's fighting every 3 or 4 weeks.
    It's silly to criticise his progress or his level of opposition at this stage. It doesn't really matter if he fights another 15 bums, he's got all the time in the world.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    With regards to your quote "people talking about him", I will concede to you yes thats a lot to do with boxing but just sometimes you have to back the talk up especially when you boast you are going to be the youngest world heavyweight champion ever!! :rofl:rofl Now with that said I was still willing to give Hughie the benefit of the doubt with regards his quality of opponent as long as he was knocking out the tomato cans in front of him, problem is he hasnt and in some you could arguably say he looked lack lustre and lacked punch power.

    If the boasts, bragging and outrageous claims were not part of Hughie Fury then I wouldnt have to post what I have and firmly place him in the domestic class bracket and leave it there.

    Clearly you missed my point i aint trying to make a case for hughie being any better than he is, just get over the youngest world heavyweight champ bit, everyone knows its rubbish the only person who says it with conviction is Tyson, not that Tyson fabricates things at all..

    I remember around about that time tweeting Maloney asking him why Price wasn't busier, he actually replied and told me that Price was being developed at the right speed for his talent.
