    Hughie might not even make it as far as Tyson is now.

    Atleast Tyason has beat up on some decent operators. ATM Hughie looks good, but then who has he been in with?

    If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Hughie achieving more. Someone else typed that Tyson looks, if anything, like he's deteriorated slightly physically and in terms of skill. I reckon there may be something in that. People say Tyson is young, which he is, but I'm not sure he has the skills, the body or the brain to do well as an older heavyweight. Hughie looks good to me, really solid and at 19 his man-power is a while away. He is going to be a beast. Tyson is that mental and unorthodox that at some point he is going to have a 'mare and get spudded.

    I dunno dude. Things like facial features, loss of hair and body shape is making him look alot older. If you watch some of his earlier fights that tyson would whoop the current one.

    Tyson will definitely win a world title one day. Hughie looks the part, but he's only a pup and we haven't seen him tested yet.

    Worryingly though the aging only happened in the past few years.

    Exactly, whilst at times Hughie has looked reasonably impressive at other times he looks really poor.

    Realistically Tyson is on the verge on a title shot/final eliminator in terms of ability, whether that is a sad indictment of the state of the HW division perhaps isn't the point.

    Both Tyson and Huggie look older as their age. Isn't it a rule you can't trust a traveller's official age much more as you can trust a Nigerian's? :blood

    But all that aside, Huggie seems to do better at a younger age but only fought cans up 'till now. I think Fury will have a slightly better career because he's the one up there already but will probably lose very soon. After that the other Fury's hype probably won't be as big anymore and has to fight a big name earlier because of it.

    Tyson is very underrated...............it's too early to tell a lot about Hughie, but so far he seems to have a lot of potential, if he keeps it up he will some day become a world champion.............

    Hughie is clearly the more determined one, but he's still very very young. He still hasn't fought anyone with the power to take him out.
    Tyson is an absolute powerhouse, but a loose cannon.

    Really hard to predict.

    This is true.

    Tyson does seem to be older than 25!
