Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury Confident He Would Do a Real Job on Anthony Joshua

[ultravividscene]

Easy to say things in retrospect Hughie - just look back over the last few months and recap what your Team, Peter and Tyson had to say about Martin and Joshua's chances against him. Short memories, quite laughable. You're in good company though as a lot of people said it was a very risky fight or favoured Martin.

In fact the only person who spoke the truth back then was Joshua - (on Martin) "He either thinks i'm easy pickings or just wants the money", "he's not my toughest opponent", "he doesn't work a full round", "just another fight", "he won't be able to handle me"...

Compare that to what your team said: "This guy is a stiff test", "this is a dangerous fight", "Martin is relaxed and slick, punches accurately... not someone you're going hit without getting hit back", "Joshua's a real novice, no jab, no boxing ability... i don't see Joshua winning"...

I love how people try to revise history, makes them look like such ****s to anyone with a slightly better memory than a goldfish :P

exactly what you said about Martin.. & don't forget that Peter ranked Hughie in top 10 HW over AJ.. laughable really..

Hughie's delusional. He struggled against Kassi and pretty much got bood out of the ring.

And Joshua's 10x the boxer he is.

[rudy]

Hughie has some talent, and 21 is young in todays heavyweight game.

I do think what he said about Joshua is true, but i wouldn't say the heavyweight scene is brimming with talent that can exploit his weaknesses by using movement and speed. I doubt Hughie would be the man to do it though....

If Haye was a few years younger and still very quick, i think he would make easy work of Joshua.

He has **** all why talk about Joshua when you turned a fight for the British Title against Dillan Whyte the saying goes about Hughie Fury "he could not punch way out of a paperbag comes to mind'

He has not punch whatsoever and at Heavyweight you got to have a punch or it is game over

Like comparing a Machine gun to a handgun

This whole family is very delusional ,though i agree somewhat of Martins break down but AJ was that good it wasnt going to be competitive no matter what. I think AJ was saying stylistically having a slow pace wont work against him .You know what you get from their perspective when they rank Spinks over Mike Tyson as an ATG , nuff said !


The only JOB Hughie would be able to do to Joshua is a HAND JOB! :wank:

[Fury4daWIN]

Yes.. & I still believe he is talking BS when he cannot step up from his current level..



oh really?? Enlighten me then, who has he faced that's levels above who AJ has faced.. Bunch of journeymen is all both have faced so far..

Rudenko and Kassi are both solid names, and Hughie dealt with them in good fashion (though the Kassi win was less impressive than it should have been by his poor health at the time). It's not a hugely impressive resume, but then Hughie is at that stage where he needs to be getting in tough, learning fights, and he's doing that nicely.

The trouble with AJ's biggest names is that they're totally unknown quan******. Both Whyte and Martin were undefeated at the time Joshua fought them, but they also hadn't fought anyone that we could gauge them on, barring Glazkov in that freak loss.

Both guys, even Cornish, could go on to show their mettle in the future and Joshua's resume would be given a significant boost, the same way Duhaupas's KO of Helenius has retroactively improved Wilder's resume. At the moment it's just a list of pretty stats and impressive knockouts. There's no real basis in reality.

Breazeale's probably going to be his most proven opponent, given his win over Mansour. Even then, he's kind of a question mark.

Jimmy Young and Chris Byrd weren't the hardest punching guys, but they had quite a bit of success in their time. Hell, people are saying Tyson's feather fisted, and he's the greatest heavyweight in the world.

Hughie's punching power might improve as he matures, or learns to sit down on his punches more, or it might not. So long as he has the skills to keep his opponent from touching him he can still carve out a nice career for himself.

He's already at that level.

Rudenko beats anyone on Joshua's resume, and Kassi probably does as well.

I personally don't think much of Rudenko but Kassi yes was a good fighter.. But you can same the same about Kevin Johnson considering he has had tougher fights than Kassi..

In retrospect AJ has faced big tall punchers like Cornish, Martin than most of the smaller fighters Hughie has fought..
AJ also has faced more undefeated guys in his 16 than Hughie has in his 20+

But both their resume's isn't something they can boast about yet.

Breazeale is not going to show much imo.. Breazeale had to fight it out with Kassi & either man could have won that fight.. Had Monsur not bit his tongue he would have finished Breazeale too.. But when a title shot is involvedthe challenger ups his ante always & that's something that might make this fight go past 4-5 rounds..

[BoxingFan85]

He's already at that level.

Again these are your opinion.. Kassi vs Kevin Johnson take your pick but they are pretty much at that level..

so if Joshua beats Breazeale then he is a better boxer ? because Breazeale beat Kassi, however disputed that decision was..

I told the same in the post to Huck, that Joshua has faced big tall punchers & more undefeated guys than Hughie..
