He would beat rogan and lewison and mcderrmot and audley but none others

What are the chances of Hughie and Joshua meeting in the short term? Is this a fight after Joshua has smacked up another 2 fighters maybe? Who has the most to lose if they fought soon maybe after Joshua has had another fight.

It makes good sense a fight like this im sure it would draw a decent crowd and be a top of the bill fight. 1 loss on your record does not mean much really and a rematch after a dozen more fights would again draw attention providing no more losses.

Hughie hasnt fought anyone who Joshua should be scared of and I really think that Joshua would proberly beat Hughie at this stage.

These guys cant just keep ducking each other and mixing it up with road sweepers. Lets get it on!

Hughie won't fight joshua for a long time when they can make some big money whenever it is I would pick Joshua to win on present form-he looks a class above.
Hopefully howvere Hughie and joshua will fight more domestic opponents as there are plenty of useful heavies in the UK at the moment that would provide good tests for these two and some interesting fights for the fans.

Don't be so sure of that. From what I have seen of Hughie, in terms of his talk etc he seems all business. I don't think he will go the way of Tyson who did everything he could to avoid fighting Price ( who was his obvious domestic rival from the off )

Could see it sooner than later, especially if Hughie don't perform as well when he steps up.

But even at that its hard to say because Hughie hasnt fought anybody--- not even a Colin McKenna type opponent yet. I'd like to see Stephen Reynolds and Hughie fight, so can gauage how well Hughie would do against a big strong heavyweight.

Stephen reynolds as far as I know is a cruiserweight and an old one at that please clarify what you are on about.

In Reynolds debut he was a heavyweight. He may be a Cruiserweight now for all I know, but the one bloke that Hughie fought who battled with Enzo Mac was a Cruiserweight too (whose shoulder gave out)--- so I dont see what your point is. Reynolds is at least like 6'4" and a 5x ABA champion, etc. and can easily make heavyweight again, so imho I'd rather see Hughie face a man who had some size to him and some ability than these undersized punks who are jobbers.

He won't fight Tyson - moot point.

Chisora would beat him.

Price SHOULD beat him. He is 12 years older, an Olympic Bronze medalist and 5 years a pro. But Hughie at 18 would be a live underdog.

Audley Harrison could beat him, but he is 42 and if all the dice aren't in his favour he folds against the big guys in a round. 50/50

Everyone else Hughie wins

Reynolds is more like 5'10".

No way, he looked huge in his pro debut. Are you sure?

He's listed at 5'10" here, and he looks short for his weight to me.

Almost a year ago today Reynolds weighed in at 12st 6lbs for a fight in Dublin, making the move up to heavyweight would be difficult for him. He was a heavyweight as an amateur, but that's -91 kgs, or 14st 4lbs, so that's cruiserweight really.

Is Reynolds a traveller? If he is then I suspect HH is suggesting him because that makes him harder than a coffin nail and at the very least, a man who won't 'give best'...

Reynolds is an old crude cruiserweight who does not belong in the ring with Hughie Fury or any other decent heavy. Further to that Homicide Henry if you have any influence with the Fury's you might want to ask them why they are pushing a physically immature man ahead of his time -this risks damaging him physically and him failing to reach his potential. If they want an anlogy they can empathise with compare it to the early entering and ruining of a coursing dog something a lot of travellers will have experience of.

"Much as I like the Fury family, as I am not only a fan but a friend"

Rufus you really do live in your own unique little fantasy world don't you !!! You really have become a curio, a specimen that is genuinely 'touched' like the kids at school who get dropped off in the variety bus !!!

"Can I get your autograph Mr Fury ? I'm a great faaaaahn of yours !!!"

LMFAO !!!

Providing he is healthy and his metabolic condition doesnt prevent his physical form I think Hughie will beat everyone in the UK right now except:

Fury, Joshua, Haye. And Whyte is too close to call.

I'd like to read more from Henry.

Audley Harrison is retired, I'm not sure about Skelton, but he should be retired. John hasn't fought in years, nor has Rogan,
Michael Sprott got knocked out in the fight round his last two fights, I think Hughie would beat him easilly, he also should be retired. Haven't seen Ian Lewison, but having seen his record, I doubt he'd cause Hughie any problems, a loss to Rossy. Sexton is smaller, probably less powerful and hasn't beaten anyone as good as Hughie. Him facing Tyson Fury isn't even worth talking about. SO that leaves Price and Chisora. Hard nights work but I think a fit H.Fury could "Pulev" Chisora. Price I have no idea.

bottom 7 fairly easily, top 3 no chance.

He would beat Rogan easy. Rogan was never really any good. He had heart and that was about it.

i think why not David price , think hughie would beat him, but a fighter like chisora with a work rate and in your face would beat him, at the moment

Not just that, but I think Hughie would have some trouble with the raw strength of Chisora, with his current health issues I don't think he could overcome that.

He beats everyone on that list except for his cousin. With little trouble too.

Bear in mind that list was posted 3 years ago. I imagine the original poster has changed his views since then. It's been dragged up solely for the purpose of railing at Homicide Henry. I wish someone would give this Matt character Henry's phone number so he could take his stalking offline.

I thought the list was a bit weird...

Its a pity Hughie is too ill to take on Whyte next. That would've been a good fight.
