    AJ COULD be a mentally shot fighter by this point. And his gastank is clearly that of a forty something year old man.

    1. Price.

    Not but seriously

    Sokolowski is ahead of Allen now.

    If I was Frank I’d been on the phone to Allen and get him in against Gorman. Get Gorman looking good again and taking a name.

    Price vs Joyce. Another one who defends with his face, can he take Price’s bombs? Relentless pace from Joyce though so he would be clear favourite.

    I want Price-Usyk.

    Price boxed beautifully tonight. Dave has no real talent but still, Price didn’t put a foot wrong tonight. Blocked all of Allen’s shots and how impressive was his handspeed in there?

    And that celebration... what a man.

    Dubois would finish old man Joyce off.

    Move him up at a rate of knots, there's nothing to be scared of domestically until he meets Whyte.

    Seeing as some people has Dubois ahead of Whyte in the rankings... how would Dubois take care of business with Rivas???? Anyone?

    But of course, maybe he should do that now - fast track to the top.

    I completely agree. I don’t see any reason holding him back when he beats most of the top 25 now. I’d get him in with Breazeale or someone next, Charles Martin, Hammer, Huck, Washington. All top 25 ranked and he would destroy them.

    I like your enthusiasm, however misplaced it is. Dubois is strong, but your opinions of him are not grounded in reality. It is a murky, dangerous jungle when you climb to the top, things don't quite obey boxing logic, and overlooked quanties like grit, heart, spirit etc nullify all the boxing qualities attributed to talented fighters.

    Dubois would struggle against Rivas, and he ain't on Whyte's level yet.

    Parker, Chisora, all these guys would trouble Dubois, let alone Gorman.

    Yeah they do, but so does experience, spirit...grit. Many factors.

    So you tell me... Dubois vs Rivas??? This thread is saying Dubois is ahead of Whyte as a professional fighter from the UK.

    Justify it for me.

    It would be interesting to see how Dubois dealt with Rivas coming forward so much and throwing a lot. I quite liked what I saw of Rivas, but I think Whyte's jab kept him off.. I think DD has an even better jab and that could also keep Rivas off, but who knows

    Dubois would take care of Rivas, I think he has 6 years or so to smash through what he can before he starts to dip, bigger strides are needed now.
