Age is irrelevant.He should be fighting higher caliber opponents.When he beats someone ranked in the top 50...We can talk about greatness.
A total mismatch, there's no point in these sort of run outs. Dubois is a legit savage so he will breeze through European level opponents.
Dubois looks a great prospect. He,d lose to anyone half decent atm tho. Povetkin/whyte/chisora etc would batter him. Hes looking sensational atm...because the level hes fighting at is useless. He is a very good prospect tho. Him v joyce would be quality. I dont really rate joyce....but hes slightly better than he looks. Hes also a knockout waiting to happen.
We found out in June that a little Fatty is the level of Tony Dosh PPV where his limitations were brutally exposed. All hungry young fighters will absolutely flatten the fringe pudding. His only saving grace being the current crop at the top end of the rankings of all bodies (excluding Fury, Usyk and Wilder) is the worst ever and full of small, old or fat puddings. Running away from a small Fatty in Saudi for 12 rounds was shocking to say the least.
Got to build DDD gradually, cant put him in with AJ, Usyk, Whyte, Hunter, Parker and Povetkin anytime soon. DDD is 22, dont have to rush him. Put him against a Euro level fighter that suits him stylistically should be next.
Pudding Whyte is an opponent that will tick a few boxes but I think DDD will brutally knock him out. Usyk, Fury and Wilder are 12 months away but any of the rest should be on the DDD menu.
The trouble is DDD is only 22. Not a bad thing, and I would give him a chance against anyone. The thing is if he fights for a world title and wins, there is no going back. He is still learning the game. I say step it up gradually and aim for 2022 when he will be 25, if he can win a world title then, he might be able to keep it.
Iron Mike done it all at 21 and would have been a very good champ for years if he did not go off the rails. The division is very poor compared to the past and he should have no problems staying at the top if he lives the life of a boxther. His longer term problem is that the division will not remain this weak and new contenders will appear.
Mike was a one off. DDD isn't very experienced at this stage. I know the heavies ain't the strongest now, but still strong enough for a 22 yo novice to win a world title and defend it.
