Amateurs is for young boys. Pro boxing is for big boys. He needs to put on his big boy jock strap if he wants to punch for pay.
When Hughie's ***** drop, let us know. He's the one who went on about wanting to become the youngest champ ever, and at 20 this would be an opportunity to become a champion. If he's too young, if he isn't ready, then let him eat at the children's table until he's ready to get in the sandbox to play with the big boys.
Hughie definitely has a chance to become HW champ in the future. His illness has maybe delayed any chance of this happening soon. Catch a grip. Keep them quotes to yourself chum:huh
that ship has already sailed, Tyson was already only two months away of the undisputed championship at the age Hughie gets the shot at the WBC belt. But it would give him a top3 spot however, so all that talk was just that, talk :yep
Betting up on Paddy Power: http://www.paddypower.com/bet/boxing/boxing-matches/Deontay-Wilder-V-Hughie-Fury-9241425.html Crazy if this happens for the WBC title
More than it has now. It usually fielded a HW champ who could at least warrant some comparison with the rival champ or champs. It had some weak champs (McCall, Bruno) and installed some 'paper' ones (Norton, Lewis) who were nevertheless good, and there was Rahman-Maskaev-Peter, a very poor trio before Vitali came back .... but Stiverne and Wilder represent a new low.
This is a win win for hughie, lose he has time to come back, learning curve and that win, and well he did mention Mike Tysons record so he wouldn't be too far off which is another achievement, but I think it may be to early but be happy to put wrong
I doubt it'll be on PPV unless Hearn wants to run four PPVs in four months. Plus Hughie is promoted by Mick so the fight would likely (by the process of elimination) end up on Channel 5. Shocked if the fight happens.
In other words the WBC meant nothing; the fighter made the title... The truth is the ******* offspring of the (N)WBA is a chip of the old block...
