Dubois is the real deal

Could be another seth Mitchell we haven't seen him properly tested yet

Hes been good so far and I root for him but he has a lot to prove

 

Agreed. Seems to have power. He definitely does against C class fighters. Definitely has size.

He is not exactly agile though nor does he seem quick.

Seems more of a physical specimen than a boxer.

He's young though and maybe can improve his skills.

 

Dubois doesnt seem fast to you?

 

I'd love to see him against the Pulevs, Hunters, Povetkins etc etc.
Him vs Joyce is a good one in a couple of fights

 

Honestly, he looks powerful but ponderous and stiff.

The only time I've seen him was in this last fight but that's my honest impression.

 

On Dubois, he; big and he can punch. We don't know if he can take a punch. He's not the fastest, or a top boxer.

The best thing Dubois can do if be matched with Fellow UK fighter Joyce. Both are flawed guys who can hit. The winner will set himself for a title matcher and pick up lots of rabid fans.

 

He is a young guy with a powerful build. So was Primo Carnera. So was Frank Bruno. We just have to see.

He is early in career. No need to rush him. He needs good coaching and a lot of time sparring in the gym.

Just my opinion but I'd say bring him along slowly and let him learn his craft.

If anything, Wilder's career shows the wisdom of bringing along a physically talented but raw heavyweight slowly.

 

Was a stunning KO but honestly Fujimoto was a poor opponent,but Frank Warren should be upping the level of oppenents people saying he shouldn't be rushed I disagree if you old enough your good enough.

 

Those big guys take time to develop skills. Why not let him develop and learn how to box better?

You can ruin a good prospect by throwing him in with more skilled guys he's not ready for.

 

He's got a long way to go, has some good attributes but an accurate straight puncher with power could KO him. He's so square when he throws his combo's.

 

I agree to a certain point about being allowed to develop but Tyson was a world champion at 20

 

True, but Tyson was the exception. He was the youngest I believe. He also had a pretty unique background with Cus grooming him to be a pro HW from a pretty young age.

 

Tyson was truly special

Once in a generation type fighter. Dubois I doubt will match Tyson for likeness... but he does have similar attributes like freakish physical stature and a killer instinct.

But Tysons Killer instinct was levels above, he had guys scared before the first bell... he would just come at you like a bat out of hell not caring how much he got hit back, he was menacing, thick neck, could take a shot, just maximum violence, never backs up.

Pure intensity.

Controlled violence as as well, with technique and movement.

Damn man, what a boxer.

 

Passes the eye test at this stage. Still needs to fight someone established; Gorman will prove to be a good win IMO but he needs to make his own mark on the division first. His power looks legit. His straight shots in general look very good actually and he seems to judge distance pretty well. Still lots of questions to be asked of him but given how he's cutting through these guys at 22 then there's at worst a lot of promise.

This latest fight doesn't change anything though
