    How does everybody think Dubois would do against the top 5 heavyweights in the world?

    I think he would knock out Joshua, Ruiz and Whyte. Wilder would be a 50/50 fight about who lands first, I think Wilder can be hurt so Dubois would be in with a shout.

    Only fight I would class Dubois as a massive underdog is against Fury.

    Too early to tell, i like Dubois and i think he is being brought along at the right pace and not rushed, unlike the way AJ was.

    But if them fights were to happen anytime soon, i think he stands a great chance of knocking them all cold, the one i would say he KOs first out of them has to be Joshua probably even now.

    He more than likely loses to all of them at this point.let him fight someone ranked in the top 25 before saying he's going to starch the top dogs eh,

    Why would Dubois be able to knock out Ruiz if AJ couldn`t, Dubios has never been hit with the kind of shots AJ floored Ruiz with and Wilder would destroy Dubois, no way could Dubois have a punch stat like Wilder`s v Fury if it went the distance, Fury would hit him far more often than he hit Wilder, what`s so special about Dubois defense? He`s never been in at this level at all.

    AJ has more offensive skill than Dubois has, I really don`t get what`s different about Dubois to any other heavyweight with a decent punch, his head movement isn`t any better than AJ`s so he would countered easily by the quicker Ruiz.

    If give him a big chance against Wilder. I think he’d lose to the rest at the moment.


    Come on. Joshua’s first 14 fights were against complete puddings. Even Whyte was far from what he is now in his 15th. People were screaming for him to be moved on more than Dubois. Then after he was gifted a world title he fought Molina and Brezeale who are also crap. He was never rushed was he.

    Needs to have his chin checked and power tested against someone in the top 20 first let alone the top 10 before predicting how he'd do against the big hitters at HW, kids clearly talented but he's done nothing yet.

    There is a form line through Andy and Kevin Johnson, who is a punchbag but he is tough. Can anyone provide the link to the fight for Ruiz / Johnson?

    I think Dubois has been bought along nicely but no, he's not ready for the top guys yet. I hope that this next guy comes out similar to Lartey and tries to take his head off from the get go. It'll serve Dubois better in the long run.

    He'd lose to all of them at this point. Boxing is all about championship fighting or fights that put you in position for championship fights, all the rest are learning fights, glorified sparring really.
    DDD has had one championship fight and in that fight he never had to face any kind of adversity.
    The opponents you speak of are all seasoned championship fighters. I think Daniel can mix it with all the guys that we speak of but just not yet, he isn't ready yet.

    I can see Doubous power testing and probably KO'ing the suspect chins of Fury & Wilder. Dubois jab as well will cause Wilder issues similar to Washington jab did but with much more effect


    Ruiz, AJ and Whyte are too well rounded as boxers at present for Dubois.

    Dubois needs to step up to next level.

    The likes of Charles Martin, Gerald Washington, Breazeale or Hammer.

    This level of opposition which has been in championship fights but fallen short. Also they all have serious weaknesses that play to Dubois strengths

    At this point I would avoid fighters like Kownacki, Pulev, Ajagba or Hrgovic. Those are the kinds of risks that he doesnt need to take.
