Different world now bud. He had 15 fights in 85, 13 the year after. They just don’t do that kind of schedule anymore.
I agree and it's an extreme comparison, so we can take more recently Wilder who had 32 fights before his WBC. Dubois is still a baby and needs much more on the board before facing that fella.
Perhaps it's due to the total lack of British heavyweight prospects that we need to push the likes of Dubois well before he is ready. I mean, him aside, who else is there coming through? It's a bit depressing.
