Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury Struggling To Secure Top Opponents, Says Father/Trainer

[JakeTheBoxer]

Lots of potential opponents. Yoka, Hrgovic, kabayel, zhang, Makhmudov, Coffie, Wardley gorman...to name a few. Most of these (all?) Would beat hughie though...

These guys never fought anybody good. I am not sure they beat him.

Gorman fought DDD, but DDD is also only a prospect . I think DDD - Hughie would be 50 -50 fight.

Hughie is solid. But he isn’t gonna put anyone over and there’s really no incentive for people above him to fight either really. It’s hard to argue with a family that has had so much success this generation with their fighters, but their fighters outside of Tyson just aren’t put in the best biomechanical position for them to be as successful as possible at this level IMO. Hughie has really slow hands and isn’t anywhere near as rangy and nimble footed as Tyson. So why the heck he fighting like him? But he does seem to have some beefy legs and a sturdy center of gravity for such a large man. He could be hitting people with a lot more force. Get those dang hands up, stop leaning backwards and learn to get inside throw a dang uppercut and a hook or 2. Working on your nutrition wouldn’t hurt either, Tommy seems to be the only one in the family that knows anything about that.
