Its only a matter of time before DDD becomes HW champ. I cant see any of the young HWs beating him. He has that Tyson double left hook we have not seen in any HW. Its clear he is Tyson fan and loads his punches like Tyson and has the power too. However he needs to tighten his defence when he gets in attack mode. Personally I think he should join a new camp and leave peacockgym even though they have done a good enough job
He looks dangerous to me. Haven't seen these vulnerabilities you speak of at all. Gorman who many thought would school him was barely able to land a glove on him.
Exactly. He looked very susceptible against Gorman. Had Gorman threw his punches more carefully instead of swinging, he would definetely KO Dubois.
Big fan of DDD and their is no need to rush his progress like Hearn did with AJ, after all DDD is only 21. Wise move from Warren to refuse the Bakole fight offer from Hearn.
It's not even about Gorman. I've never rated him highly. The thing is Dubois has a lack of amateur experience, which for the HW is very important. He always reminded to me somehow of the younger inexperienced version of Joshua. He is like a prodigy of him. A British lad, boosted with some random names, getting moved forward in the rankings. Yes he has power, but he hasn't faced anyone decent and plus he is 22. You see what happens when you are younger, even if you have a huge potential: You get schooled... Many examples of that: Murat Gassiev and Michael Hunter pop on my mind.
He looks really really good for his age. Needs to tighten up the defense and be a little more fluid/coordinated. He's got Joshua's strength but doesn't seem to have the weak chin and stamina. If they can work on his boxing skills he could be like an Ike ibeabuchi, he reminds me of him
He is a a better than AJ Better chin Better Jab Better movement Better punch variation Better combinations
Wilder won't fight him if he gets in the top 10 (WBC) then again Fury could have taken Wilders belt by then.
And how can you claim this when he wasn't tested? They face a completely different quality of opposition. Except for the power that he has, I can't for sure say that he does all those things better when he fights a way lower class of opponents. You can look better against Gorman, but are you going to look the same against Ruiz or Wilder or Joshua or Usyk or Fury? It's just not so relevant. That is my personal opinion. You can jab to death Cojanu but Povetkin won't let you do it ( just a random example ).
He was never hurt because the punches Gorman was swinging landed on Dubois but , they were not effective shots. So Dubois is quite susceptible.
