Sparring a strong guy isn't the same as sparring a powerful guy though.ERIC GUY wrote:I sparred with the British Heavyweight Bodybuilding champion Ian Wadley, in 1996, no big deal, you just get to know what it feels like to get hit by a powerful person, and yes it did hurt, he was very powerful, as I was fighting heavyweights, I had to spar with some big guys,

If you say he was powerful then I'm sure he was, but as a rule I've found great big strong guys a doddle to move around with.

He looks like he's done some boxing before he did the body building? Some nice moves Eric.

Stunk the joint out in the sparring session as well
Let's not forget that fury klitschko was the most boring title fight in history. Fury came in to take no chances and fight off the back foot all night.
The same tactics won't work for Hughie, whose personality makes David Blaine look like a prime Muhammad Ali. Nobody cares about a boring boxer with zero personality,even if he's got a title. Look at rigondeaux for example, who is furlongs clear of Hughie on ability.

Didn't Ian Wadley end upon "Kate Krays Hard Bastards"?

had to stop for about 20 secs each time I got caught with a good head shot, it hurt, lucky my recovery is very good, just need head to clear.
