    Would this be a good test for young Fury or is Towers finished after that embarrassing performance against Browne?

    Dont think towers will box for quite a while, Brown was very powerfull and clever, not an easy fight for Price, looked like he new how to handle tall fighters. Hughie will be on 20-0,plus by next summer, and would be favourite then to beat towers.

    I think Towers v Hughie would be ideal.

    As for Hughie smashing Towers, no chance, as Fury has not got rid of his opponents in spectacular fashion so far.

    Towers looked dreadful but does have power so yeah, I think he would be a good opponent to test Hughie Fury.

    Towers looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights vs the aggressive Browne

    Towers reminded me of Tom Dallas

    I can't see either wanting that fight. Although personally I'd love to see it. Its too big a gamble for hughie as if he loses, the little hype he's starting to generate would be gone. As for towers a loss to hughie would prob put the final nail into his careers coffin.

    I think the fight would be alright although I really cant see Towers giving anyone a decent fight based on his performance on Saturday. Hughiw should be able to take care him (too negative)
