Erm HP Fighting is doing what on the Choice set except being less powerful than Ice Beam and around as powerful as bug buzz. I'd much rather U-turn in that slot to scout the default switch in and to not reveal that you are a choice pokemon straight away or HP Fire for the Scizor OHKO.

In general HP Fire > HP Fighting if choosing between HP and Earthpower. HP Fighting is just inferior to Earthpower and largely redundant whilst HP Fire can actually kill a common switch in.
