    Here's Daniel Dubois

    Here's Seth Mitchell

    He fights a lot more like Seth Mitchell than he does freaking George Foreman, that's for sure.

    I don't see the similarity between Seth Mitchell and Dubois besides the fact that they're both Black and happen to practice the sports of boxing for a living.
    I think the comparison to George Foreman is alluding to their share size, strength and punching ability relative to their opponent.

    George was bouncing Joe Frazier off the canvas.

    Enough said really.

    That night I believed in Mitchell,he looked really fluid and powerful.

    Then he got hurt by Chazz Witherspoon which was an ominous sign,followed by the Banks debacles.

    I liked Seth.Fun to watch and I wanted him to do the buisness.Mad to think but he was actually America’s no 1 heavyweight prospect.

    I was taught at school to provide sound evidence for any arguments I make. Did you ever attend one of those..a school?

    Have you been punched by Dubois and povetkin to say hes stronger? I don't know how you reached that conclusion? Because Dubois knocked out a few Uber cab drivers?

    Bigger and stronger? Tyson was small, had more power than most in hes era of "bigger" guys..
    but Tyson is one of hundreds of examples in combat sports were size means jack and ****. Gokhan Saki tiny kickboxer routinely beats 6'6 guys 250.pound chiseled as **** kickboxers.

    Where the hell are Dubois talents... pretend Im blind... explain them.to me? Hes had how many fights against who?? He's a baby.

    You cant make an argument to save your life.

    Joe Joyce has shown a lot more. He beat Lewison and Lenroy ... that means something. That's evidence.

    Am I supposed to be impressed because he knocked Anthony down in sparring? I could knock anthony out with a well placed punch if anthony let me. He's head weighs 6 kilos... I send a 60 kilo bag flying with one punch.. so what... Dubois is 6 ft 5 240lbs... he can knock any man in the universe out if he was given a chance.

    Younger means jack as well... don't get me started im sure other posters will bring a million examples

    Means jack ****.

    Please tell me more of your stories so I can pick them apart.

    Really looking forward to this fight. AJ is a big favorite but Povetkin is as good as it gets for a smaller HW.

    Nice to see he is sparring the big boys and going hard. I got a feeling bout this one. Joshua better not be looking past Sascha.

    Pov is obviously working very hard and coming in light ! He is going to set a high tempo attack .AJ had better be in great shape or this could get messy.

    Dubois vs Sirenko would be a great fight.

    Pov sparred Cornish for the Price fight and then Price made Pov do the unintentional backstroke. Now there is no Cornish in the camp. A coincidence?

    Don't worry about backstroke. I think we might see young Anthony take a big swan dive with reverse pike in this one.

    The Crushin' Russian be bringing it.

    I like those choice of sparring partners although at his age Povetkin needs to make sure he doesn't take any unnecessary punishment in the gym.

    Another week of heavy work & then they can begin to freshen him up.

    The best way to get used to being hit is to get hit. Povetkin picked punchers for sparring partners.
