What Top 10 UK HW does Hughie Fury beat now?

Gordon KOs · Post by **Gordon KOs** » 27 Oct 2013, 23:19

Honestly, I say all 10 beat him right now

Weirdyman · Post by **Weirdyman** » 28 Oct 2013, 02:05

I'd say Rogan, Skelton, Lewison and probably Sexton

Newport Daz · Post by **Newport Daz** » 28 Oct 2013, 02:16

Skelton is the only one i'd be confident about at the moment.

crusader · Post by **crusader** » 28 Oct 2013, 02:19

Hard for me to say given that he's fought no one.

WelshJack · Post by **WelshJack** » 28 Oct 2013, 03:10

I would say everyone except Price, Haye Fury, Chisora and McDermott

Would he even beat joshua who is ranked below him?

Hughie has not impressed greatly of late I believe that is because he lacks power as he is not physically mature i.e he has turned pro too early. He has genuine potential but is not yet a serious threat to a top ten contender other than the over forty contingent.

i think that he outhustles rogan right now, if it was an 8-10 rounder.

I agree mate. Think Joshua has faced some decent ams that would stand him in good stead vs Hughie.

He will probably be facing most of them within the next fortnight.

His last match up was against Shane mcphilbin, that says it all to me .

Your last name must be Fury

I would say he beats Sprott, Rogan and Skelton as they all too old and too small and would not be able to live with Hughie's size and power. As for the rest. Dereck Chisora is pushing for a world title shot. David Price is on the rebuild after the two Thompson losses and will be looking to get his Lonsdale belt outright before pushing for European honours. Audley Harrison appears to be put to pasture (finally). John McDermott needs to resurface

If he was rested properly and trained for a specific opponent he may beat 2 or 3 on that list but at the moment he looks tired and burnt out to me.

Exactly what I think over training probably which is especially foolish for someone that isn't fully mature yet. I like the Fury's but I have said from the start this guy is being pushed too early.

Hughie is fighting another rubbish opponent with a nice looking record

funso banjo baby · Post by **funso banjo baby** » 31 Oct 2013, 13:01

so you only get to pick one option?

what about an 'all option' for hughie fans.

its not fair

Gordon KOs · Post by **Gordon KOs** » 31 Oct 2013, 18:49

Hughie is more of a fraud than Fraudley

dohboy · Post by **dohboy** » 31 Oct 2013, 18:59

Think Rogan is a good fight profile wise. Was never up to much but pulls a crowd and is seen as a decent name. Think Hughie would go through him, a good stepping stone I reckon

HomicideHenry · Post by **HomicideHenry** » 31 Oct 2013, 21:23

Much as I like the Fury family, as I am not only a fan but a friend, but the only man out of the ten who I can see Hughie beating would be maybe Ian Lewison because he's just a gobshite anyways. 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.

Possibly, Rogan and Skelton on points over 8 rounds. Although, both would be dangerous early on.

Sprott looked terrible against Helenius and then got ko'd in 1 in his last outing in August, you've got to question what he has left now, especially against an up and coming fighter over 8 rounds.

Sexton's in the next Prizefighter in a couple of weeks, after stringing 3 wins together since the Price defeat, so we'll see how he looks then.

Audley - no comment.

Lewison at this point in his career, I feel, would by too strong for Hughie. He'd certainly test his whiskers but once again, stamina plays a part over the 8 round distance and this seems to be Lewison's main problem.

A 'right' McDermott should know too much for young Fury. Lewison V McDermott for the English title happens November 30th which could shake things up a little. If Lewison can do the business and get the title, he'll be after the British, currently around Price's waist.

The rest of the top ten are well out of reach for Fury - Haye, Price, Chisora and obviously Tyson.

The next step for Hughie surely has to be the English title but that might be late next year and after he's probably got a record of 18-0. He'll be overtaking Tyson on fights by this time next year!

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