The few fights I have seen I don't rate him at all. I think he got talked about because he's a relative of Tyson Fury.

I think he can be awkwardly effective at world level, but i havent seen anything so far that makes me think he is as good as his cousin or even a top level fighter. Good footwork, similar to Tyson he is always shifting the angle and moving, poor accuracy and power. He very rarely lands a good clean punch which for me is what separates the guys i want to watch vs the guys i dont (even a high volume brawler i find boring if they arent landing good shots).
Could be a good addition to the top ten. Footwork is a rarity at HW so im sure he can get some good wins.
If he really was ill all this time and they have actually sorted it then obviously all bets are off. I doubt it though.

Verdict still completely out on him, IMO.
Like you said - I haven't seen anything from him to convince me that he's got what it takes to beat the belt-holders, or top contenders like Pulev, Povetkin, Ortiz.
I'm not even sure he can beat Dillain the Villain, or Chisora.

TBF hes still very young, remember Fury had some woeful performances against John Mcdermot etc. at an older age.
If Hughie can power up and improve his skills, come 25 he could be a force...
