    Got to be honest Ive never really seen the Joe Joyce hype, always thought Clarke was better but fairplay to him for going to the Olympics and bagging a medal and looking good doing so.

    Not sure what to think of Dubois, knocking over cans would love to see him in with someone like Lewinson

    Joyce!
    He gives/gave Joshua great work, the Fury’s like him in camp, and so he’s already up there with world championship calibre fighters.
    DD is smashing small, part time, fighters.
    As for his age, remember Mike Tyson was champion by then. There’s no guarantee at all that in 2/3/5 years time DD will have made massive improvement.
    Joyce isn’t far away right now.

    What? Do you even know what you are talking about???

    Dubois is a baby, only 20 last month. He has had his entire 5 fight career in the last 6 months!

    I wasn't too enthused with Joyce a few years back, he looked powerful but far too stiff and cumbersome. Knocked silly by Kuzmin and the Algerian, it seemed he'd make for fun viewing on the way up the pro ranks with an inevitable flattening loss coming once the comp rose.

    WSB and Rio have changed the way I see him, a lot. Seeing his determination, to have a very bad year and then jump back into the fire and have 2 great years back to back shows character.

    He's still stiff, upright and you'd have to think there'll come a time where he'll either get coldcocked or outboxed but from what I saw in Rio, he's going to be an absolute nightmare for anyone who can't keep him honest.

    Dubois looks great, but isn't comparable because we aren't going to get to see him in against the kind of straight up killers Joyce was facing on the regular as an am. Not for a good while at least. With his age he likely wont be rushed, the problem with which is that if he keeps bombing people out his learning's all going to be done behind closed doors, unlike Joyce.

    He doesn't need to at the moment, no rush he is just a kid. KO David Howe in your 3rd fight, win an area title in your 5th fight? All in the space of 6 months of turning pro? Nothing wrong with that.

    I know that, I was just answering the question which said "if they fought in 2 yrs" so I said given how little he's being tested, I don't think he would.
    He can step up his competition, that doesn't mean jump in and fight AJ it means just test himself more than he is now!

    If Dubois can take a punch than I go with him. Dubois hits harder, has the faster footwork and has faster hands.

    Nobody is walking through Dubois unless they stand up to his murderous power.

    Yes there is, he's only just started fighting ya pudding. If Dubois gets the same backing as AJ expect him to be 400lb of chemically induced murder........

    Dubois is clearly gilled up already.
