you’d tell Dubois to pass up a 2 million payday and a shot at three belts? what exactly do you think his ceiling is?
At this stage I think I would. It’s 2 million dollars, not pounds so it’s not huge money when heavyweights are starting to earn mega money in KSA, but that’s not my reasoning. He’s earn’t well so far anyway, you only need to see his house to tell that, but he cannot win this fight at this stage of his young career. The only long distance fight he’s had was Joyce and that ended badly. Uysk is 36 now so I would wait until he gets older and slower. I don’t think he can win this fight probably ever, but wait a while longer to give himself a better chance and probably earn more. Especially with the change of trainers again etc. I think his ceiling is top 10 heavyweight only. Wish him all the best though.
Purse bids for Usyk - Dubois ? I had no idea they were at this stage already. Looks like it's actually happening. Best of luck to young Daniel, he's going to need it.
Ruiz has no where near the same power as Wlad and he took a lot of heavy shots off him. Happy to agree to disagree.
If Dubois fought Wardley, I'd have it as a genuine 50/50. That is how Green and Raw DDD is. He looks fragile. Usyk will ruin the lad.
Id be happy with that also. Good co main too if it happens. Confirms to me that all this talk of a December tournament is ****. If Joshua fights in August he aint fighting in December. Surprised if McKean fights Hyrgovic. Easy win for Croatia, he aint ready. Fury sparring session more likely.
If he waits it out and takes easier fights he'll wind up losing to some nobody and that'll be the end of that. Earn $2m to fight Usyk, its a shot to nothing for 3 of the 4 belts and he'll still be a valuable commodity afterwards because nobody will hold it against him even if its a 12 round shut out.
I agree he could end up losing to someone lesser, however cash grabs in boxing rarely end well. If sounds like it’s happening so let’s see.
