Daniel Duboius how far can he go?

Lol so Dubois is a better finished than Wlad now? You're deluded.

Joshua wasn't "knocked out" with headgear on, he was stopped on his feet. Big difference.

Resorting to sparring rumours is evidence that your argument is weak at best.

Joshua has proven himself. Dubois is the very definition of a hype job. He's knocked over 3 bums and you think he's the second coming.

 

Dubois is an offensive fighter, Wlad is a safety first fighter. That cannot be disputed, plus he is over 20 years younger and would not let his opponent off the hook after having him stunned, just like Joshua wasn't let off the hook in sparring

And Joshua was left dropped to the canvas. It is not a rumour, it has been confirmed and Joshua wanted to hide the truth from coming out. It shows how much you know that you think it's only 3 bouts that we've seen. I've watched Dubois since his time in the Olympics and has demonstrated his abilities and strengths that I've mentioned consistently. I was the one who introduced him to this forum.

And I am now the one who will tell you that he is the future world champion. You will come back here in a few years and shake your head at your own posts and wonder why you even doubted a word i had to say.

The same morons were calling Joshua a hypejob when it was prophesied that he'd one day become world champion and now these same fools are fully on board the so called hype train.

 

I'd have to disagree with you on this point. A boxer needs to clearly fail the eye test to be labeled a hype job. I would say he's a novice with great potential and shouldn't be included in the conversation about Joshua at this stage. There are so many imponderables. How will he handle the step up in class? How will he deal with an opponent who fights back? Even his physical development through the early 20s is something which could have a major impact on how far he can go, after all he's still a teenager. But current evidence - the eye test not the three bums he's dealt with - clearly indicates someone who is worthy of praise for potential which is beyond mere hype...

 

So much bull**** in one post. We've seen enough heavyweight hype-jobs over the years. Dubois may well go to the top, but he might also be the next David Price or Audley Harrison. Let's see what happens when he fights someone who hits him back.

One thing's for sure, Frank Warren won't let him anywhere near a live body for at least another 20 fights.

 

"There are so many imponderables". Yes.... that's what I'm saying...

As for "the eye test", not sure what you mean but he looks good against low-level opposition. So did Audley Harrison and David Price.

 

In my eyes, that's not the definition of a hype job. Surely, with a hype job you can see past the imponderables and observe clear weaknesses and, anyway, hype can only really be defined once you have a reference point which shows the reality has failed to match the perception. Even if it's only a small clue or hint. Price got heavily stunned in his first pro fight - just kinda powered down by a stiff jab - and Harrison fought pub bouncers for his first six fights or so and looked like an amateur masquerading as a pro. He failed the eye test, which relies on the ability to see past the level a boxer is operating at and perceive where his talent might take him. But like I say, I'm not including his name in any conversation about Joshua and there's no need for people to get carried away. Maybe we define hype differently.

 

You can't compare Harrison and Price to Dubois, one always fought scared and another was just a ko artist with no defense.

And neither of them started pro at just 19 years of age, not even your darling Joshua did that.

 

As long as his chin holds up he will go very far
