    Dubois is so overrated it's ridiculous. He's the weakest of the 3.

    IMO dubois
    he is an unknown at the moment in his future ability
    if he has a very good chin at the end of his career i expect him to do the best of the 3
    if he has a poor chin then he will be found out when he steps up
    at 21 he can improve/ relax / learn on the job

    tony yoko has the most natural talent/ abilty /speed of the 3
    but he is not powerful and as an amatuer he was chinny and i expect him to be banged out a few times

    joyce is being moved fast / is a decent fighter / but again i can see him being lower top/10 but never a real contender.

    Hrgović > Joyce > Sirenko >>>>>> Yoka/Dubois.

    Yoka is more talented and skilled than Dubois perhaps, but as someone mentioned his style is more suited to amateurs.

    Dave Allen is being a salty little ***** and his chin disagrees.

    I presume you didn't see the Dubis Johnson fight? He's a nice kid but he has a very limited arsenal in all respects if the opponent doesn't fold like a deck of cards i.e. isn't Brit journeyman level.

    nope
    i take it johnson spoiled him and dubois lacked variety to break him down
    but hes young and is obviously not well rounded yet.

    i have not seen dubois v johnson so i should not say how i think he will fair until after i have watched it if it is on you tube

    but heavys do take time to come into there own

    tyson fury v john mcdermott to use an example
    who would have thought watching fury struggle with mcdermott that he could beat wlad in his own backyard.

    its why i picked dubois of the 3

    Fair point he's still very young and could well have learnt a lot from it. I'm not bitter about him spoling my accumulator that night when I predicted a stoppage from him, no siree bob. :D

    yeah my mate likes a bet and would have been calling dubois all kinds of useless no good four letter words if it was not panning out his way.

    He's not overrated in the slightest. Look at this thread for example , if anything he's underrated.

    The body shot that dropped Little is as good as any body punch you'll ever see from a SHW , yet some some in here have called him "talent- less" :buenrollo:
