    The Fury's are indeed both overrated.

    Brits aren't all overrated. AJ, Smith and Taylor are undderrated fighters if anything. As was the likes of Calzaghe and Froch.

    Nos encantan los furys. Cuando pelean, veo sombras de Ali.

    How is Hughie Fury overrated? He is what he is, a decent prospect and no more.

    This. Tyson has legitimate talent and I think he has the potential to neutralize Wilder's straight right and the accurate body punching to gradually take away Wilder's speed and get the decision, but whether he can actually get the job done is another story.

    Fury is supposed to have knocked out Joe Joyce in sparring. Might be fake news mind.

    All depends if he’s in the same shape as before imo,if he is then he ought to win as he rarely takes any punishment and at his best throws plenty of punches albeit controlled punches.

    But he unanimously won that staring contest. That has to count for something, right?!

    Prospects dont fight for the WBO title or in an eliminator for a title.

    Hughie has gone beyond a prospect and its time to stop giving him a pass because of his age.

    The fact is that there is a massive gulf in class between him and Tyson Fury, and Hughie will always be a far worse and less able fighter than Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury is a top 3 HW and Hughie is a top 30 HW.

    I dont see Hughie getting any higher than top 20 at any point in his career.

    Is it his age that makes him a prospect though? He kind of slipped into that “contender” bracket for me. What is he, 24 fights deep, already had a title shot, and been involved in a final eliminator recently. Sure, he’s got room to grow, but if he wants to play with the big boys it’s only fair to judge him accordingly. As it stands he is and has been overrated, by both his team, himself, and his fans. He needs to take a step back.
