For the life of me I can't figure out why, but I like Hughie. I guess it's the underdog thing. Very much the poor relation in the Fury family and operates relatively under the radar. He's had an OK career. Some half decent wins. Three losses, all by decision in good company. But fuck me he's the illest mother fucker alive and not in the cool Nas way. Fenster always used to say he had leprosy. Tongue firmly in cheek of course but the Fury mob came out and said he had some sort of mystery tropical disease that was so debilitating, he was operating at massively reduced capacity.
It doesn't help of course when your halfwit cousin goes public with claims that you (Hughie) are going to be the youngest heavyweight champion in history. He was always going to struggle to live up to billing from that point on and he's excelled in that department. Whatever the mystery illness was it was supposed to have been addressed and we were going to see a far more dynamic Hughie from that point on. We didn't. He was still the same Hughie. Good skill set, but far too passive and for anyone in the top tier far too easy to outwork.
Peter is my favourite Fury. He seems like a sensible down to earth man where boxing is concerned and calls it as he sees it. Paternal obligations aside I can't see what he sees in Hughie. Maybe he's one of them that looks a million dollars in the gym, but struggles under the lights?
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

there is no point to argue champ, it's hughie & his teams claims & their burden to prove. i do remember hughie having several health issues over the years & i would have no idea what he has put into his body, so any potential causes of his illness on my part would just be speculation
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
