In boxing, it must be every trainers dream to stand on the shoulders of giants for just one big fight!JimJim2009 wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 05:23Good post. I would have liked to have seen how Fury may have developed had he been with the Ingle gym for a consistent period of time. Can hardly moan, as Fury is excellent and has improved so much anyway, I am just curious about how his style and evasiveness might have developed if he'd been there for a few years. I love the classic Ingle gym style and Pele Reid aside they've not produced a heavyweight. Pele didn't fight in that style anyway. I wonder if it would benefit our other Fury - Hughie - to train there. I've always thought Hughie is caught between two styles, the evasive counter puncher that fought Parker, and the more aggressive version that did for Sexton (I appreciate the gap in levels of the opposition). I think Hughie would benefit from the Ingle style. He'll never be big enough to just walk down big heavyweights and as Pulev showed, at top level he can't really outbox them either. At that level, it seems to be a case of surviving and trying to nick enough scrappy rounds to get a decision, but if you are going to be an evasive counter puncher you might as well do it right. Obviously, with his dad training him, he can't just switch trainers like cousin Tyson has.Steveh583 wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 03:44
I was thinking about this the other day. Specifically in regards to fury. Every trainer he gets is immediately deemed outstanding. First peter, then davidson, now sugarhill. They instantly become flavour of the month, when really he could be trained by anyone and still do the business.
You named three trainers there who got to see that view thanks to solid teamwork and that’s what boxing is all about, you push up those around you in your team.
So what part of teamwork do we not understand?
Without the Peters and the Ben’s and the Sugarlumps of this world, who else you gonna take to War with you bloody ’Basil Brush’
It’s been the same old faces in boxing for years and new ones are a breath of fresh air so good luck to em!
As for Hughie, show me a heavyweight more dedicated, forget belts right now, he needs a wheelbarrow for his boll*$cks.
25 years old and he’s already fought half the world while the rest crawl under a rock and you only have to look at his resume to see a Champion.
I’m in a Nightclub my father used to run for Brian English in the 80’s it was in Paignton, Devon, The year was 91, I was young and I had a lot to learn- I never listened to my father.
I’m talking to some slag by the bar and some bikers started fighting and before I knew it my shirt was around my throat and my feet didn’t touch the floor.
I didn’t know the doorman anymore because we moved around and the fella who threw me out that night outweighed me by 5 stone at least, I was 13 stone wet threw and never said a bad word to nobody.
What bothered me when I talked to my old man about this ‘ape’ was his strength, I couldn’t stand my ground with him because I wasn’t fully grown in which my father replied “You haven’t got your man strength yet-your still young!”
I didn’t develop fully until I was 27 years old and by the time I was 30 I was twice as strong as that night in the Club.
I’m not gonna tell you I went back and wiped the floor with him, I didn’t need to, my friends told me he was found unconscious in the Club car park a week later with ten fingerprints around his neck.
Hughie will win a world title.
