Probably but hes better, but not bigger fish to fry first. Ironically if Dubois upsets all the odds in September AJ will jump at the chance of that fight.
I think the greatest threat to DDDs career is his father. I think Tibbs turned him down after a session due to his dad being a pain in the backside. And his dad is the reason Shane is not working with him. DDD is clearly very talented and hits like a mule. But I do not think Don Charles is going to take anyone to the next level. Charles is one of the good guys and a decent articulate trainer but he could not train his own son to beat Soko.
