Comments Thread For: Peter Fury: I Believe Hughie Can Unify Heavyweight Division

[nick_viking]

Hughie just turned 24 and even if I didn't like Hughie negative style in that fight, I thought he beat Parker and he's taking next on Pulev wich is respectable.

He and Pete are humble lads and are trying to get the big fights so stop hating for a minute on every non american fighter ("no I like Linares doe" yeah F you).

Watching the Parker fight live I actually scored it to Hughie, didn’t see Parker land anything of note, but on refelection Hughie didn’t land much of his own and showed pretty much zero aggression the entire fight. I can see why the judges scored it as they did, but the wide cards were a shock at the time.

It tells me that you're boxing tastes are horrendous, I mean for real,
or that you're trying too hard to get a cast iron alibi.

He looked better last time out, against limited opposition, but good aggression and power.

I’m not sure the power is there at world level, but will bet on him beating Pulev.

Overall rushing like ****** like Parker did, with no feints, should not give you any favor from a boxing judge,, Hughie landed slightly more IMO and put on a defensive show, controlled Parker and the fight. I thought he had the edge.

yeah, justt the american mentality on here whenever someone loses their 0 thats it, they are done. he lost a close fight to parker, mostly due to him being overly negative. he can learn and improve from that

I believed in Hughie once but the writing is on the wall. The guy never developed the power necessary to be a real HW champ. That MIGHT be ok if he was a brilliant boxer but he's not. A good boxer, for sure. But not great and shows no sign of changing since he hasn't progressed much in 5 years.

Not to crap on your opinion but your post comes across like Hughie is some kind of failed boxer near the end of his career. You believed in him once? the guy just turned 24 and has already fought for a world title after 17 months of inactivity and health problems - IMO he made Parker look like **** in there and should have had a draw at least.

Hughie is just developing his strength now (look at the size of him now in training camp after gruelling training) and is growing into himself. Saying a young boxer never developed the power is strange seeing as he is still young and not even in his prime? What's your reasoning behind this?

Hes finished! A never was.

Doubt it, but all the best to Hughie. With Wilder on the other side, I see him gatekeeping at best. He should drop to cruiser with Usyk on his way out, he could still have some success
