    Daniel Dubois say he wants either of these two next.

    Personally, I think he should fight Takam. The guy didn't learn enough from his Joe Joyce hammering.

    Dubois is still young and doesn't need to be hitting his prime until years down the line.

    If I were him, instead of barking for Joyce rematch or wanting to fight Whyte.

    I'd recognise his opponents were **** poor, and be calling out the likes of Takam, Washington etc.

    Takam would be a logical choice at this moment, Dubois is doing well at this moment and his career is going in the right direction, the defeat against Joyce did not set him back much, he is young and will be successful in the future...

    I am no Dubois fan but he KO's both. Both would look very good until Dubois simply lands a bomb and it's over. Round 4 for Chisora and Round 2 for Whyte

    You can't compare them to Joyce. These guys are worn and torn gatekeepers, ripe for the picking. Dubois should absolutely pursue these trashcans. They're easy KO wins over big names

    We'll see. No opponent has really provided the same aggression they'd offer. Joyce was very held back vs Dubois and just boxed his head off.

    Dubois defence is his biggest issue. I'd like to see how he deals with Chisora or Whyte's aggression.

    I think Dubois would struggle. I'd like to see him against the likes of Takam, wallin, washington.

    Whyte should test his heart and stamina while Chisora will test his power and technique. Great matchups, think they are tougher fights that people might think. My opinion is that they are around Joyce's level, I had Dubois winning on Dubois x Joyce fight until the stoppage, Joyce's chin is made out of granite

    Nah keep that same energy you kept with Makhmudov. We shouldn't pick and choose who gets thrown into the deep end.

    Dubois has had 19 fights and it's been almost 2 years since he fought Joyce. It's time he steps back up to the plate and takes on a gatekeeper like Chisora or Whyte. I don't know why you're so scared about the idea of him facing them when they're subpar C level fighters

    I don't think Dubois beats Whyte or even Chisora. I thought Pulev beat Chisora but if you look at Dubois' previous performance against Trevor Bryan, he looked the same as usual. He throws a straight one-two and has no other variety apart from the odd body-shot.

    Takam is probably the right opponent.

    Whyte is not C level. Whyte has beaten Parker, Rivas and Chisora. He's proven himself better than Chisora's level, if only by a little.

    In reality, Dubois should really be fighting helenius as he's #1 ranked WBA and Helenius is bitching about deserving a title shot.

    Dubois vs Helenius for a mandatory shot would make sense.

    If Dubois wants his shot, Helenius is his most logical opponent.

    I think Dubois beats both at this stage, and by KO. I suspect Whyte is about to enter a steep decline, and Chisora is shot to bits.

    Takam is the same level as Whyte and Chisora, so obviously Dubois is going to call out the latter 2 seeing as they would be bigger paydays with a similar level of risk

    Takam is not the same level of Whyte lol.

    He got KO'd by Chisora ffs, and he's beaten no one of any worth. He's basically just someone who had decent punch resistance who was difficult to knockout.

    For him, honestly either fight is acceptable. I don't have Dubois in the top 10, Chisora is outside the top 10 but still a stiff ruler and Whyte has been in the top 10 for years. Both of those men are ranked higher than Dubois IMO

    I understand what you're saying but if he can't take out the aging gatekeeper Chisora then he needs to rethink his boxing career. Whyte? who knows what's left in his tank at this point.

    Whyte is C Level. He's only top 10 because this era is mediocre. Even though he is more experienced than Dubois he is ridiculously chinny. Dubois would shut his lights out sooner or later
