    From a physical standpoint this guy has all the tools that you expect from a heavyweight. Good size, decent chin, punching power. I'm looking forward to how this dude turns out in the coming years.

    He has the look of a good prospect, we'll see how he's managed up the ranks

    Impossible to tell at the moment. Last fight was iver very quick and the 1 before that he looked very stiff and easy to hit. Only 19 so will have to wait patiently

    He'll go to the top, he has more tools in his armour than Joshua, better movement, more agile, better chin and is only going to get bigger(size wise),smarter and more powerful.

    He shows some promise, but still too early to say. Has not been tested yet... Let us talk after another 12 fights.

    He looks solid and can swing the leather. Very competitive domestic scene though.

    Looks good but didn't David Price look good too at this stage....

    Will need more fights before making a better assessment...

    Richard Towers was knocking all these guys over.
    Price was looking good a lot further down the road than Dubois. He was supposed to knock out Tony Thompson, a solid top 10 guy at the time.

    I'm excited! I hope he stays on the right track - no reason he can't be heavyweight champ but it will take time and a lot of hard work.

    Look how he gassed in the 2 round against Dacre and in 3 round he wasn't throwing as much as in 1 round, so big doubts about his stamina.And also he showed he can be stunned easily in his 2 pro fight against former Olympian Menduoso.I wish this kid all the best but to me, he looks limited.

    Better chin based on what exactly? Joshua's chin is decent. Took that sledgehammer from Wlad and got up to win. Dubois has done absolutely nothing and beaten nobody to warrant such acclaim. Yes he's a good prospect, but to say he has more tools than Joshua, who has stopped all of his 19 opponents (including 4 top 10 heavyweights) is laughable.

    If Anthony Joshua would fight against Dubois right now, he probably would knock him out within 3 rounds, it
    would be a big mismatch.

    Dubois has great potential but he is nowhere as good as Anthony Joshua.

    Wlad throws single shots, he doesn't through combinations. Had he been more offensive he'd have had Joshua out of there. Dubious knows how to finish his opponent.

    No one has said Joshua's chin isn't decent, but you won't find Dubois getting knocked out with headgear on.

    He has already shown he has more tools, he is more agile, can actually move his feet and doesn't rely on straight punches, he can actually box. Not to mention he has already dealt with Joshua, they were going at one another with everything and who do you think came out on top?

    Obviously right now Joshua has more experience, so in a real fight he'd be the favourite in this moment in time. However once Dubious gets his share of experience he will be the superior fighter without question and like what happened in sparring, he'll make Joshua his slave and make him beg for mercy.
