Tough fight to call. Hughie is extremely skilled and I can see him making Parker Miss alot
Don't get me wrong. By all accounts, Hughie is very good, and a dangerous opponent. I'm just saying that he's faced nobody and that he has a very average KO percentage against average competition. A lot of other guys are undefeated without the FURY name and are not being entertained by the WBO or Wilder for a title shot.
I'm not really sure how I rate hughie fury. I have seen him do some very impressive things in the ring without looking spectacular. Also he may be like his cousin and raise his game to the level of his opposition.
Parker v hughie would be impossible to predict imo.
You are right Inferno . The unknown factor makes it tough to pick.
Parker has been operating at a higher level than Hughie , that alone has to give him at least a 50/50 chance in my book.
It might be a case of the British bookies reacting to local punter loyalty, I expect they would get a lot of bets for Hughie on that alone
Parker will destroy him. Mark my words. He will walk thru and smash him.
Hughie needs a hammer jab to keep him out.

Still not as good as Parker's resume, but at least it's someone.
A lot of people had the very over rated Browne losing that fight to Rudenko where as a 20 year old Hughie jabbed his head off for 10 rounds.
Good fight if it gets made which could go either way.

I definatley see that as a possibility. Hughie Fury's lack of power is a concern.
I've honestly never seen Hughie fight. Any recommendations of which fight to watch with him? Yeah, only KO'ing half his average opponents isn't good.
This is the fight they need to take to the UK.
HUGE fight over there and a great intro for Parker in the UK.
I remember hearing an interview with Peter Fury quite some time ago saying how he was deliberately telling Hughie not to sit down on his shots so he can get the rounds in as blasting opponents out in the first round isnt going to help his development
