WelshDevilRob Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The 6'6, 230lbs, 21-year-old has been a professional since March 2013. He's compiled a record of 18-0, 10 KOs. Boxrec list him as the 5th best Heavyweight in the UK. He has wins over Andriy Rudenko and George Arias. Rumours are that he will take part in some kind of title fight next. What do you think of his talent and how far will he go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? --- Needs to step up to fringe contenders. Thing is it looks like he's been forgotten in the middle of Tyson's ascension. Dimitrenko would be perfect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_budweiser Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? I don't rate him that well to be honest but I didn't rate Tyson Fury that much either and look what he has achieved. Hopefully he will be tested more in future fights.

Cableaddict Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? I was really liking Baby Hughie early in his career, while he took apart cabbie after cabbie. However in his last few fights, (also against cabbies) he's looked rather poor, to put it mildly. He seemed unmotivated, almost lethargic, as if he never really wanted to be a boxer but was talked into it by his family. (which is quite possible.) If he DOES really want it, then I think he has the natural gifts to be a true champ (much more gifted than Tyson) , but he needs to get away from Peter asap. I think Peter Fury is very good at teaching the fundamentals, and I applaud his recent plyometric-type training of Tyson, but there is a point at which he simply cannot hang with the big boys, and Hughie has evidently reached that point.

WelshDevilRob Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? I'd like to see him fight a character like Shannon Briggs. Someone who will bring attention to the fight. Fury needs to start grabbing some limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? I was just reading an article there. They thought it was going to be Anthony Joshua vs Hughie Fury that was going to be announced rather than Joshua vs Martin. Maybe this will get made in the near future as it will be seen by many as an easy title defence for Joshua if he can win the title. Another one who if it happens doesn't deserve a title shot.

adamcanavan Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? Kassi is a great opponent for Hughie, if he wins comfortably then that's a great result for him. Hopefully the link up with boxnation can give him a bit more backing and keep him at this sort of level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sab275uk Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? He needs to step it up and get a decent fight. I'm not sure if he's being avoided or luck has been against him, but until he's been tested it's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? It's hard to get really excited about Kassi, an aging journeyman with a really short reach. - but he's definitely the best opponent Huey will have faced. At least Kassi was able to take Breazeale (whom I rate VERY highly) the distance. This fight should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? Not sure I have seen Hughie fight....maybe once, very early on on an undercard for Fury possible, when he was on channel 5? Anyway I haven't seen very much and never heard him talk, always seen in the background of Tyson. So in that case he comes across as just the thick cousin of Ty, which is really saying something! :haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likeli3000 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? Hard to say anything about him really. The heavyweight division is not very deep unlike other weight classes so everyone below the top 15 are pretty much all bums and tomato cans! He probably won't get a top 15 fight for 2-3 years because of how young he is, i believe he is still 21? Like Tyson Fury and Joshua, other fighters will only fight him when he is around 24-25 and has more pulling power in terms of viewing figures etc. He is basically a baby in the heavyweights, other fighters would be more willing to fight him if he had more drawing power, e.g like the hype behind Mike Tyson as a teen and young adult. Unfortunately he neither has the aesthetic looks, brutal KO power, nor the charisma or loud mouth of today's current heavyweight champions :(.

the ghost with a hammer Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Re: Do you rate Hughie Fury? Is that Fred kassi the dude that was robbed against Chris arriola with a draw?

I think hughie is great prospect. still so young. Yeah, that's him - he's fought well in his last three fights against Breazeale, Arreola and Mansour. Has a counterpunching style. Needs to be more aggressive against light punching Hughie otherwise he'll be outjabbed all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
