Comments Thread For: Hughie Fury: Joseph Parker Fight is "Very Close" To Being Made

[thack]

Why?

World titlists AJ and wilder are showing the same flaw's 10 years older with weaker resumes?

It's about levels ......both of these guys would absolutely annihilate Hughie.He hasn't the punch or the skills to keep them off .They are both many levels above Hughie who should be no where near a world title at his stage of development...if ever.

Ok you're specifically talking about hughie, i was more referring to JP but to act like hughie has no skill's is BS.

I don't enjoy watching him fight or his cousin for that matter, but he clearly has a fantastic jab and good boxing skill's.

What exactly are you basing these 'levels' of AJ and Wilder on?

Knocking over some can's, that arnt there to fight back?

and the couple of times the can's fight back, they get wobbled and look highly vulnerable...

It's far more impressive to get victories over rudenko and kassi at 19/20 years old.

Than beating guy's on the same level as the 2 aforementioned guy's, but be 10 year's older...

He's got no power and average ability.
The same applies to JP. but at least Joes got some pop.There both as you said young and I wish them luck but I think JP has got it in him to improve but I don't think Hughie has and will more than likely be found out with JP.

I think hughie will get to a title eventually, but he'll probably suffer a couple of KO losses along the way...but hey who know's maybe he has a granite chin and could box wilder's and AJ's head off for 12 round's, we don't know.

I Just don't like how the younguns are facing higher level's of competition(in the case of JP) yet because they take those tough matchups at a young age and look vulnerable, everyone automatically labels them as crap.

While Wilder and AJ are Knocking over taxi drivers and everyone is like wow!!!! amazing!!!

and btw both hughie and Parker have two of the best jab's in the division.

Only time will tell........Not impressed with Hughie I hope I'm wrong.

Hughie Fury bt no Wilder. They keep ducking him but the cas don't known the half

[joe strong]

I think both are solid young heavyweights. Parker has a couple of good wins on his resume over Takam & Ruiz. Hughie is only 22 & has had health issues. Wins over Rudenko & Kassi are not too bad at his age but I don't think he earned this shot but his ranking was around 5 or 6 when Tyson was still champion. The guys ahead of him fought for the vacant belt, Klitschko went the Joshua route & Haye declined the fight leaving Hughie & his WBO regional belt next in line. He got the shot by default. The favorite has to be Parker but I never bet against a Fury... Team Fury tried to get Tony Thompson in the ring after he lost his rematch with Klitschko. Fury was 12-0 at the time but Thompson went with David Price & it resurrected his career. I think Hughie is better than some give him credit for...

Don't judge prospects like they are the finished article, they are both barely out of their teen's and you expect them both to be without fault?

While you have AJ and Wilder who are both in their late 20's/30 and have both fought weaker opposition, while showing massive flaws, leaky defenses, suspect chin's and a lack of technical skill's..

I guess people are more impressed with KO's over bum's and nohoper's that arnt there to fight back.

Heavyweights don't reach their prime until they are in their 30's ffs.

Joshua has just turned 27 lol....and parker is 25 ...two years between them but 10 years between them in terms of ability....parker still beats fury though

Bro are you serious?

I anaylzed both fighters on their previous fights, AJ looked well technically better than Parker right now.

I'm not saying this as an AJ fan but by observation he has better technical skills than JP.

[whatismyname]

The Furys got balls.. got no problem with him getting hos shot, hopefully winning, and learning on the job..soon he'll have to face Haye anyways
