We will never know because he is exactly the type of fighter that Wilder avoids. Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Haye, AJ, the list is long
If he can get past Wilder's length and land big, of course Dubois has a chance...but then, such is true for a lot of heavyweights.
Todays fight showed DDD would get caught early. He still is very vulnerable as soon as the bell rings and takes time settling in , Cojanu forced the action and landed with good shots but he has no power. DDD would press Wilder and get hit over the top . Wilder by 5th round K.O. DDD weakness is right hands ,ultimately his accuracy would lose him the fight, he missed a stationary target a lot and his punches were slow and he dips into shots ,he also trades punch for punch ,should wilder react in time hes going to hurt DDD and his chin is still untested ? DDD worst habit is he leaves his guard down when being aggressive , he doesn't bring his hands back up fast enough. Could probably change in 3 years time ,DDD is not even in second phase of his career and this fight is the first he probably learned something bc Cojanu wasn't terrified and fought back . Result could change if Wilders still around then ?
Until DDD can prove he can get up from a Nichols jab then I’ll have to go Wilder. In saying this DDD despatched that Romanian baddy far better than 55 yo Ortiz..
Let's see, Ortiz and Dubios both brutally KO'd Cojanu in 2. Ortiz is clearly more accomplished and skilled than Dubios. And...... Why am I even wasting my time? Wilder wins by KO1
Dubois proved tonight he is ready for the big time I back him to knock Wilder out. Wilder will need an oxygen mask if he ever faces Dubois. Joseph Parker as world champion went 12 rounds with Cojanu. Let that sink in.
I think if Parker pressed he could stop Cojanu too, who's a tomato can. Parker is just a naturally nice and well mannered guy, works against him.
Wilder's people will never put him in with anybody this dangerous. They KNOW what would happen to his fragile mandible.
