Ordinarily you wouldn't put these 2 names together. But common opponents is always interesting, so it would be interesting to see how he fairs against a guy who took josh 7 rounds
Nobodies touting Whyte as the next big anything,but hes clearly better or more effective than Hughie...who cant hit. I find it better than anything that Hughie can beat anything on Joshuas record,when he clearly cant and no one knows if hes even better than Johnson who fought Wlad. Two different skill sets in level unless you are Furys dad. you can argue who can have better out pointing system but in the HW division its not point sparring so I cant really see how anyone thinks Hughie over ranks this guy who took AJ 7 rounds?
Hughie's clearly more skilled than Whyte: much better command of distance, footwork and jab working in synergy to control his opponent, good timing and shot selection, a superior thinking brain that bodes well for his future development. Whyte has more power and might have better punch resistance, but that's it. He's crude, lacks technique, and lacks intelligence. He's a pure brawler and those types only go so far before they hit their ceiling. Whyte's already hit his with Joshua and I doubt he'll improve any from here on out. Hughie still has plenty of room for development.
I'm not a cheerleader of all things Fury, but I do think I can recognise talent where I see it. I saw it in Tyson and I see it in Hughie, perhaps not to the same jazz-level degree (Hughie seems far more meat and potatoes, both in fighting style and personality) but he's certainly got tons of potential to develop into a first rate fighter. Whyte might have the game changer but he doesn't have the brain. What we see now is, I suspect, what we're ever going to get.
I don't see the fuss in either man to be honest, though I can at least see what people see in Hughie. Whyte's just crude as anything and has terrible footwork, balance, punch technique, defence... not to mention he seems dumb as a bunch of rocks. His only plus points are his power, which seems decent if not mind boggling, and his punch resistance, which again seems only decent. I see literally nothing else that stands out whatsoever.
He reminds me strongly of Arreola back when Arreola was being touted as a new big thing. I think he'll end up having a similar career.

You were saying?:theyareon
Everything I said about Whyte is still true. I'll keep saying it if you want me to?
Hughie > Whyte in ranking, development, amateur and pro career, boxing ability.
You're simply reaching for straws now . All in all you can say what you like but its not my fault Furys have no power of merit as HW's and that will be a contributing factor how far they go . Ive included power here because Whyte can hit ,Hughie cant its really simple but hey hes a junior champion and maybe old enough to drink now how could he lose this one we all know he would take AJ into deep waters as well !:rolleyes:
Just like you do. Power > everything else is your argument and a dumb one at that. You think because Whyte can punch harder that means he has had better development, is in better condition, has better footwork and lateral movement etc etc
Whyte was awful vs Joshua and totally brainless in there. After he caught him in the second round look at his legs, he turned into Bambi on ice. It was terrible to watch from both of them to be honest. His balance and ring IQ are non existent. Hughie is always balanced and has more in his locker, he's a better boxer, moves much better and his ring IQ is 10x that of Whyte.
Just ask Whyte how good Hughie is as they have sparred. They will never fight as they are friends but Whyte will openly tell you how good Hughie is
And you say you aren't a fanboy.?.haha One of the weakest hitters stops one of the best chins and power punchers...sounds about right as well sorry the jig is up as they say my friend! :boxing:
I never said I wasn't a fan of the Fury's??? I'm also a Whyte fan what about it?

Hughie is a gold medal winner in the youth HW championships at 18. He was a better amateur and has a better pro record, he's had way better development seeing Whyte was out for a long time banned. Hughie is getting better since they sorted his food allergy out and has gained weight in the last year. He's a far superior boxer Imo
Whyte needs to work on his conditioning and get himself a few fights. I like him though, I just think Hughie is more advanced
You're obsessed with power in all your comments lol
I haven't heard anything on him...I messaged him a year ago and he said progress was coming good then he went with roach so? My take is hes waiting on all the big current guns to disappear and make up for his non existant amateur career by fighting low level guys another year at least. I could see him and George Arias down the line as next gen boxers,though I think the wilders and AJ's will be there awhile.
He has a broken hand right now I think. Ive messaged back and forth with him a few times on FB but its been a while. He seems to have his personal life in better order than his dad did so thats a big plus there.
Excellent power,,good technique too...would hope he moves faster I want to see him in there with ranked guys on the map.
Agreed, I was hoping for some serious moves in that direction once he got with Roach.
Whyte would knock him out if they fought tomorrow. I cant see much high expectations at this stage for Hughie. Give a liitle lean way for age but he isn't built as a real HW,and certainly doesn't carry power at all.Hes 6'6 not 6'9 85 inch reach so the Tyson comparison doesn't work here.Hes also not a natural 300 pounder like Tyson.In all honesty I don't think hes going far at top level,unless he grows not just physically but developes some type of power, his isn't just going to cut it with the big boys I guarantee that. Fill out another 10 pounds on the frame and start concentrating on placing down on your shots more. I could see Guys like George Arias and even Trey Morrison is going to surpass him in 2/3 years time if he doesn't make changes,the tag game only works so long. Hughie reminds me a weaker version of Ademak who was also to small to be a HW champion b/c he lacked power and he hits much harder than Hughie.
Nice surprise seeing his name here. Ive been following him closely since his debut.
