    He obviously has a lot of talent, but still very young and raw. Can't believe some people are writing him off already. Joyce just has an insane chin a lot of the shots Dubois his Joyce with would KO a lot of fighters.

    I think if he has 4-5 more fights he'd be ready by the age of about 25-26 to move up to top 10 level.

    I think Otto Wallin or Brezeale may be a decent next fight?

    Wallin, Brezeale, Wach and Washington are all easy fight for and a step up from Dinu.

    Wallin shouldn't be lumped in with that lot.

    I think he will be beaten easily by a top 20 HW that carries decent power.

    It would be good to see him clear out some older fighters (ie. recognized names people have seen fight in the past) from the HW landscape, if he can actually do it.
    Good paydays for those older fighters also perhaps if the British public get behind him.

    He's very young in HW terms. I have no problem with Daniel having some learning fights under his new trainer. So it's perhaps a case of finding credible opponents that may ask different questions of him tactically whilst not putting his career back?

    Don’t say anything too harsh about Daniel Dubois, the fanboys will start crying again.

    Wach, Jonathan Rice, Joey Dawejko, Andriy Rudenko would be good options. He needs rounds and build experience

    Junior Fa
    Johann Duhaupas
    Carlos Takam

    All three are reasonably durable, very beatable and if they are offered a decent purse will turn up.

    Wouldn't mind seeing him in with Martin Bakole. He's big, has a strung together 5 wins and it's a fight Dubois should win.

    Ajagba would be another good step up, he's slow, there to be hit but doesn't have a chin as good as Joyce.

    European level fighter. Someone like Duhaupas, Hubeaux or Rudenko.

    Frank will be studying the third page of Box Rec's current HW rankings as we speak...

    Lol very possibly. Though I suspect he'll push for the Trevor Bryan fight and make Dubois a world champion with that ridiculous belt.

    Fwank doesn't do purses or risk so it will be a stiff.
