Hughie is slowly coming away from the amateur style and looked good man handling Matt Grear. Come the end of this year, he will be a fearsome prospect as he maturs in to his frame.

On another note, Joshua is big strong and powerfull but I have a feeling there will be question marks as I had with Price when he gets upped in class. There were signs in the olympics that he will not be ale to deal with movement, like his first fight which he shouldnt have won, against Erislandy Savon.

Ask Dillion Whyte about Joshua. In Whytes first amateur fight he dropped Joshua a few times and beat him easily.
All good points really. Right now, Joshua looks more impressive having less fights. However, David Price looked impressive until somebody was hitting him back so judgement on how good any of these prospects are is reserved until they step it up.

As for what you said about Joshua having Hughie's schedule, we should discover this year if you're right, as Hearn is looking to have Joshua very busy this year. Not that I believe it'll be this many, but they've said they hope to have him out 10 times in 2014. That'll never happen, but he should be busy.
