    Obviously Whyte chose the Parker fight over the IBF eliminator with Pulev in Bulgaria. Miller has now refused to go to Bulgaria to face him. Povetkin is tied up with AJ, next on the list is Hughie “Shades of Ali” Fury. Does he take it? And does he win?

    I think he should and I’d make him favourite too.

    Definitely winnable but he has very little backing since the Parker marathon so doubt it would be on home turf.

    Would make sense but after the sexton win and all the world title talk I reckon he’ll defend the British or possibly fight kabayal for the euro

    I’d like to see Hughie back in with that level of opponent. He’s had a confidence booster against Sexton, but now it’s time to get serious again. Pulev is inactive, isn’t a big puncher, he’s got slow feet albeit a very good jab. I think Hughie could look really good against him but I can’t see either camp wanting the fight, unfortunately.

    Hughie will need to stop Pulev, to win in Bulgaria. Can't see that happening with his negative style, and the corruption over there. Better off, sitting this one out.

    I think it would be a horrendous fight but would love Hughie to **** on Whyte and Miller by going out to Bulgaria in true fighting man tradition and come home with the win. He should take it, chance to become mandatory to Joshua, and his style would give Joshua fits.

    The Perception that 'hardcores' have towards Hughie has always be fascinated me. His best win still remains arguably Rudenko yet he is expected to outbox and beat the majority of the top 10 heavyweights.

    Does Pulev even want to fight anyone? He pulled out the AJ fight with an ‘injury’.

    I agree Hughie has ducked Whyte (twice), Chisora, Wilder and Joe Joyce.

    Following his first and only step up against Parker, he fought at a very low level against Sam Sexton.

    He stunk the ring out against Parker in a disgraceful performance.

    Now because Daniel Dubois/Joe Joyce are due to be made Mandatory for his British belt he is looking to drop it, and fight another low level oppponent.

    Sorry but he doesn’t go anywhere near Pulev.

    I’ve said it before but Pulev is a dangerous fight for anyone and Hughie would be walked through in my opinion unless Hughie does a twinkle toe back foot exhibition bout. Pulev can have a scrap if need be and he’s one hard nut to crack.

    I think Hughie fury is going to surprise a lot. I reckon he's come on leaps and bounds since parker.

    I'll bet that that he goes further in the divison than Tyson does.

    He beats pulev comfortably, he really wants to avoid Joyce as that's all wrong for him but I reckon he would fare well against Joshua .

    Future champ imo

    So you think Fury beats Pulev easily, looses to Joyce and could possibly beat Joshua?!

    On what do you base that on? Im a fan of Hughie Fury but the Parker fight was terrible and yeah he beat Sexton but Sexton is levels below...just like H. Fury is levels below Joshua.

    He still got time on his side though, im enjoying following his journey.

    I think he beats pulev yes. Puleve is too old and slow and not that heavy handed. Fury will dance around him and pick him off.

    I said Joyce is all wrong for him...I think Joyce is all wrong for any fighter in the division. Fury could beat him but he could also get beat up if Joyce can pin him down.

    I said he would fare well against Joshua, he can box with him and out manovere him around the ring. That's not to say Joshua doesn't catch him and bang him out but he could potentially outpoint Joshua also. The biggest difgediffe between Joshua and Joyce which makes Joyce more dangerous in my mind is that he seems to have a better gas tank and is more relentless, theres not much chance of Joyce trying to out box fury he'll just try to pin him down and club him to death. Joshua could be a bit more cagey similar to the Parker fight especilesp if fury is slipping and getting out of range, I can see joahua trying to outbox him where he could potentially come unstuck as fury is very slick.

    I just think fury is underatted and will be a future belt holder

    I would not sit down to watch Hughie Sprinter again if I was paid to!
