I can't remember the correct name for his condition but it's got something to do with his acne. Apparently it knocks his pan in and he can only perform to certain level because of medication etc... That's why his dad knocked back the Whyte fight. He said he's ok going in against a certain level of opposition but he won't be going in against anyone like Whyte until he's better.

I have to be honest Stu, that sounds like a load of old bollocks to me.

And as you can see from above posts, I am a big fan of Hughie.

Yeah it doesn't sound quite right does it. Maybe they just don't think he's ready and are waiting til he developes a bit more power? Maybe they are telling the truth but it does sound strange.

If you saw his last fight, something was clearly wrong with him. Maybe they're simplifying a bit because he does have a few illnesses.

He's had physical issues for a while now. Hopefully it clears up soon

In my opinion he's the 7th best British HW.

I'd pick the big 3 of Tyson, AJ and Haye to beat him. I'd also back Price, Chisora and Whyte to beat him as well. The first 3 are obviously all a level above. Price's chin would obviously be the question but Hughie isn't a puncher by any stretch of the imagination. Also think Whyte and Chisora would out-man him at this stage.

All except Tyson.
Chisora might have a chance, but that's it.

I wonder why Whyte isn't in the list.

Tyson Fury WTF?
Dereck Chisora probably beat Fury at this stage but Chisora could quite easily get out boxed.
David Price. Price would KO Fury at this stage.

The rest Fury would beat now, considering 3/4 of them are retired.

He'd beat Sprott and Skelton...if those guys even still fight anymore.

The OP is from 3 years ago.

I thought it was a strange list too til I found out.....

Handily beats the bottom 7
Handily beaten by the gypsy king
Price and Chisora are interesting fights and I can see those going either way (for all of Price's faults I think Hughie is the type of unaggressive, non-punching opponent he could do well against)

5 are retired. is that the point?

in which case id add Paul buttery

21 years old
6ft 6 inches tall
16st 7lbs
20-0 as a pro
Only British fighter to win a super heavyweight gold at world youth amateur championships
Training with current undisputed HW champion

I'm all for cutting him some slack. Let them take blue print of learning in pro game.

I wish someone would give this Matt character Henry's phone number so he could take his stalking offline.
