    I see alot of potential in Daniel Dubois. I am well and truly on the hype train. Love his fights and his attitude.

    So much so I can see him sparking out Whyte pretty easy if they fought next weekend.

    So is this boy going to emulate one of the greatest middleweight in GGG and unify the division ? Maybe beat few roid heads along the way? And establish himself on the p4p list?

    Thoughts gents...

    100 percent mate. If he can steam role Joyce which I think he can (Easy slow moving target) Then i think he has a great chance. Im not sure about his chin equivalent to GGG, however he has the power and the drive.

    I think DDD will struggle with quick and moving targets like Parker, Usyk and Fury though.

    No, because he'll be knocked out by Joe Joyce, and quickly turn into a journeyman neverwas after that.

    He fights nothing like GGG and his chin hasn`t been tested like GG`s has.

    I believe he will be knocked out by Joyce but he isn`t a journeyman, he`s showing good potential, he`s just way too green right now.

    Sparring is just practise, he has never been in at the level GGG has, everyone is jumping the gun with this kid, he is no Mike Tyson.

    Yea but Mike Tyson was a very special fighter

    DDD will definitely hold a heavyweight championship at some point in the future

    Oooohhh that's a big claim right there cst80 . I see it the other way tbh.
    Joyce is good, sturdy, but too slow, and too old, will get sparked hard.

    Joyce is getting the absolute business. I can't believe anyone would see it any other way.

    Dubois' jab is a power punch and it's going to be rammed down the throat the of the static Joyce all night long.

    This is Dan's coming out party and it's going to be brutal.

    Both guys are KOs waiting to happen. The winners will just be coming a little later.

    Dubois might be open to an upset loss but he has an infinitely more varied skillset. Dubois can also improve whereas Joyce is already pretty much done as a pro age wise.

    His Potential needs to be proven, very badly. DDD has fought nobody of note, at all. DDD is still very young, 22 years old. Warren did pretty well building up his career.

    DDD is waiting at the door gate and is known in the heavyweight division. At this stage in his career, DDD needs Snijder and Joyce scalps by KO. DDD and Warren stated that they'll be bringing the business and i expect them to deliver.

    I believe, that if DDD slimmed a bit down, sharpens up his boxing, defensive and movement skills with Eddy Reynoso, he'll be going through anybody until he reaches the top 5.
