Should Dubois think about an early retirement?

Yeah, Parker`s wins over Wilder and Zhang were boring as hell and Bakole is a fat mess.

 

Nah losing to usyk is no shame. He can come back and still do well

 

Which heavyweights are top level? Give me your top 10 heavies, I`d like to see which elits heavies are above Dubois, Fury is near the end of his career as is Usyk, the titles will probably split again.

 

He destroyed AJ.

 

I think he can win a title but he won`t dominate, Moses would knock Dubois out because he doesn`t block punches.

 

He might, he might not. No idea how good Itauma is yet.

 

Too easy to hit he needs to fire Don Charles, he was wide open last night.

 

Point is, therre`s only a few young heavies that will be the top guys in 5 years and I think Dubois and Moses will probably be the two top guys in the division by then.

 

I mean he's still young enough to make improvements/changes and he's entertaining so I think he'll stick around for a while yet.

 

Kabayel is 32, Dubois could out-last Kabayel`s career even if he can`t beat him to win a title.

 

My issue with Dubois is the amount of times he’s taken punches and ducked away onto one knee. Did it again last night on the first knockdown.. the only heavy knockdown of his career was the finish last night, all the others were conscious choices.

 

I'm going with no, if he was 37 instead of 27 then maybe. He hasn't been in many wars and the knee injury isn't that bad in the overall long term health outlook (probably). He's been in like 3 or 4 tough fights where he took some damage

However, if he truly feels like he is hurting and is having neurological issues he should stop.

 

People on this forum always seem to act like being an undefeated, undisputed champ is the only aim of every boxer and they should just quit when that is no longer a possibility.

But the reality is that boxing is their passion. It’s probably kept them out of trouble in their lives, gave them purpose, earned them huge money and anyone fighting at Wembley has already made it to the highest level.

Not everyone can be the greatest. Daniel is only 27. My advice to him would be take the fights. Maybe he’ll become a champion again, maybe he’ll become a gate keeper. No shame in either. And obviously only retire if your body can’t take it

 

No, he is 27yo and got the potential to beat all HW's except Usyk. He can make at least another 50 Mio. the next few years.

 

There's no shame in losing to an ATG. And the Joyce eye injury was 5 years ago. The rest of the division bar Usyk is beatable for Dubois

Someone who should consider retiring though is Tim Tszyu. I don't think he's fully recovered from the brutal Murtazaliev beatdown, he's putting his health at risk every time he steps in the ring with a world-level opponent now.
