Daniel Dubois. The best UK puncher at heavyweight

Any heavy can look great fighting trash his fought

 

Ive no idea why you would have scrutiny towards British heavyweights. Britain have arguably produced the best heavyweights of the last 10 years, only possibly Russia and Ukraine have produced better. Tyson Fury, David Haye, Anthony Joshua all became heavyeweight champions. Hughie could easily have got the decision against Parker etc. Chisora and Bellew have been gokd heavyweughtd. Only Price has been a prospect that has failed. Joe Joyce has been killing it in the amateurs.

Strange that you said this. Russia, Ukraine and the UK are the 3 countries you should have the most faith in their heavyweights.

I could understand if you had said Germany ( most of their HW prospects are terrible), Sweden, Nigeria, South Africa, Mexico, etc

 

Ukraine yes but Russia? Which top HWs has Russia produced in the last ten years? Certainly not as many as the UK.

 

Who would you like a 20 year old novice heavy to face at this stage of his career, top 10's.He's been a pro for 8 months!!.Had 6 fights,boxed 9 rounds in all.
Ok,he can bang ,but that don't mean you rush him,he's a baby.He needs time to learn his trade.Wilders been doing it for 9 years...

 

And Wilders still fighting bums lol

 

A journeyman with a chin hell even a journeyman will do all his fought is cruisers or heavys with no chins what about Dave Allen

 

Dubois shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as Wilder, Fury, AJ, Parker until 2019 at least. As you said he’s a baby. He’s got plenty of time on his side. No need to rush him although he does need tougher opponents who will give him much needed rounds.

 

I'm holding fire on Dubois atm... looks good, v powerful and strong, but to reach the top it takes more than a hard shot

So far so good but it's too early to tell his potential yet

 

You should tell the managers it would save them a lot of time ,trouble, and expense.

 

It wasn't many years ago you told us you were 34. At what age did you start watching fights?

 

I think he needs 10 more fights at least against progressively better opposition,and heavyweights, 2 of his victims were cruisers. Whether he can take it remains to be seen he hasn't met a puncher as a pro but there is plenty of time for that.
What he needs are durable opponents that will take him rounds and guys that between them have a mixture of styles,runners cuties,swarmers etc. Names like
Larry Olubamiwo not dangerous but durable.
Tom Dallas a keep busy fight
Jason Gavern experienced
Gary Cornish tall
Dave Allen durable
Michael Sprott experienced

 

Dallas,sprott and Olumbamiwo would be total wastes of time.

 

Great puncher but if you look at his interviews he is not marketable AT ALL. Very nervous and shy demeanor; in combat sports you're on your own, you gotta promote your personality as well as your skills. This is something people don't give AJ credit for. Maybe he just needs some of the old Matchroom media training,

Yeah bit off topic, Daniel Dubois has great potential as a KO artist but I feel like he will be one of those fighters Warren will have trouble finding opponents for. Good luck to him, I'm rooting for every single british prospect, Matchroom, Boxnation, Cyclone whatever. Even O'hara and Conor Benn lol.

 

Sounds a bit like the young Joe Louis.He did alright.
