Too old to call out younger fighters has he no shame?
I don't see him calling out my boy luis ortiz
No, but he called out your other boy, AJ. AJ wanted NO part of him.
AJ is world champ. Izu just wanted a payday but he needs to earn his shot.
He can fight luis ortiz to earn that shot.
Ortiz and Joshua are now good friends like izu and parker are because they have the same promoter. They will never fight each other

If AJ and Ortiz don't fight it isn't because they are 'friends' (which I doubt anyway). It's because Ortiz is hella dangerous.

I think if Hughie Fury is anywhere near his best, he would jab his way to an easy points win. Ugonoh is still very unproven and wouldn't have anything more than a punchers chance imo at this stage of his career. Having said that I can't see this match happening anytime soon.

I agree with you. Hughie has to many tools. Izu very unproven.

Hughie definitely has all the tools to win. Until he gets hit. Izu by KO.

I'm not sold on Hughie. Granted he has years of fighting ahead of him, but in the HW division, light hands and feints only get you so far. The higher up, they will just walk through that stuff. A hypothetical matchup with Izu is interesting. Izu is cautious, but once that jab hits, he tends to follow through with a solid straight right. A fight like this will be a bit of a chess match.

Hughie doesn't have power but still enough to tire aponents. Also land enough flush hits and it mentally wears your aponent down. Still with hughie to beat Izu

If we learned anything from Fury klitschko it's that power isn't everything.
Hughie has trained with the former lineal champion for years. While he's still a young kid and developing he's certainly got some ability.
I also remind that hughie had that blood disease for a couple of years and was fighting while quite sick.
We haven't seen his best yet.

Exactly. Hughie is extremely talented and hes fought some decent fighters for such a young guy coming up. Im genuinely super excited to see Hughie fight now that hes got his health sorted.
