    If Hughie stops Kassi who 'beat' both Arreola & Joshua's next opponent Breazeale ... Does he have the top trump win over the IBF Champion?

    That would be a very nice win for Fury and after watching Charles Martin last weekend (who I believed would show far more than he did) you'd have to say Kassi is a better victory than Martin.

    To be honest, Andriy Rudenko who gave Lucas Browne problems is a better win than anything on Tony's record.

    Hughies fighting a guy coming off 2 losses and a draw. I don't care who 'should' of won.

    He should/will walk this fight if he's gonna be anything in his career

    And historically HW's that cannot bang never end up as a world champion or even as one of the leading lights in the division.

    Unless Hughie finds a way of getting some lead into his shots, he is not even going to challenge for a world title. :deal

    One of the heavy hitters at gatekeeper level will end up gobbling him up unless he finds some power from somewhere.

    Good point. I think Kassi is a good top 15 gatekeeper but nothing more.

    Whyte would probably beat Rudenko however.

    Whyte is raw, but has some crucial attributes for any fighter, namely power, a decent chin and a big heart, he probably would beat Rudenko, but the Rudenko win for Hughie is impressive. I remember when ****** was lining up Rudenko for Derek Chisora, and was billing him as this unbeaten Ukrainian opponent who was going to provide a stiff test.

    Whyte beats anyone on Hughies record and would probably stop Rudenko and Kassi.

    Hughie has developed this jab & grab style which is very boring to watch & he still has no real power but his team are bringing him on cleverly avoiding any heavy punchers.

    I expect a hugfest against Kassi & a comfortable points win.

    That's pretty shocking. Oh well, that could well be easy money on Fury.
    Unless joshua blows him out of there which I can't help but think could happen

    Absolutely not and anyone who says otherwise is just a Joshua hater

    Whyte is better, maybe.

    In a way hughie is lucky he has no power. As if he went in there and blasted kassi out people would claim he was clearly an overmatched bum (despite saying otherwise beforehand) but as he will take hughie the distance people will use it as evidence it is a good win.

    Kassi is a decent win to be fair. What Whyte does with his career will determine if it's better than anything AJ has but it's so difficult to tell
