    Hughie is not in the class of Tyson.
    Not sure about that. I rate Hughie , but he's been in limbo the last couple of years. He needs to move forward and fast.
    I didn't like him turning down a title fight because he wanted to have a good Christmas though.
    He has to step out of Tyson's shadow and make his own name. I think he's capable.

    He is not more capable that Tyson. Guaranteed.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think he is the only british superheavy to ever win a gold at the world junior amateur championships. He is capable.

    His style might not look dynamic but he has something there and he will be up there in time.

    Looks like they are now trying to get Wach as an opponent.

    You're only saying that after the last fight Tyson had. You're jumping on the "Tyson is the 2nd coming of Christ" bandwagon.
    What Tyson did in Düsseldorf shouldn't be underestimated, but at the same time, it's only the beginning. he needs to back it up.
    I'm not saying he can't, I'm just saying he needs to.
    Hughie is very talented, but he needs to step up, because I believe he is capable.
    And Hughie is so young , he can keep coming back.thats why I wish he took the Wilder fight. It was a win-win for me. Wilder isn't that fucking great, he could've beat Hughie, but I reckon Hughie would've come out with all the credit.

    Peter Fury can't complain about fighters pricing themselves out against Hughie then turndown these shots against Wilder/Joshua. If he's not ready, fine. But a young undercard fighter only gets ducked because they're worth two bob.

    At the time Hearn asked Hughie had a date scheduled on March 26th and a world ranked fighter who had agreed lined up.

    We wont every presume anything here again we can only give opinions , I mean who would have thought you could win a HW title on points landing 7 punches a round.
    It just goes to show anything can happen , but I don't buy Hughie is anything more than holding on the tailcoat of his cousin.

    Bit of a difference fighting in front of a few thousand on Eubank jr's undercard on Spike TV to being part of the headline act at a packed O2 on Sky PPV.

    It doesn't matter though, it worked out for the best, obviously Martin for the "world" title is a much, much bigger deal than chinning Hughie.

    If the fighter is in the top 10 of the four alphabets it can't be that hard to work out.

    Unless i'm looking at out-of-date rankings nobody is top 10 ranked by all the gangs.

    Carlos Takam, Fatty Ruiz and Parker are in three of them. All good fights. Parker would be terrific, although the most unlikely.
