    I would strongly contest this statement... Beating Chisora is more of an achievement than Dubois entire career to date.

    Dubois is a prospect - nothing more than that. Possibly nothing more than that "yet", we'll have to wait a bit to see what he proves himself to be.

    WBA having rated him top ten AT ALL yet is laughable... But that's the WBA for you.

    Well, WBA might rank what they wish to rank.
    Looks like this.
    WBA had ranked Bolotņiks before fight vs Buatsi #3 and now he is #7?
    Boxers who Bolotņiks had beat in LHW in his winning streak: Burton ( boxrec today #33), Gasanov ( boxrec today #35), Ekimov ( boxrec today # 41), Michel ( boxrec today #47) and Ward ( boxrec today #68 ).
    I agree that all these were in real better than Calic or even Ford.
    Yeah, I really see why he might be ranked in TOP30 for a reason.
    TOP15? Damn. He isn't bum, he just isn't TOP15 boxer.
