    He's a good prospect. Don't think he's got the power that the bodybuilder Joshua has though. He lands alot of punches on his opponents through speed and accumulation. Think Anthony's alot more heavy handed and defensively sound than Dubios.

    Dubois is by far my top choice as far as prospects go.

    Very impressed by him.

    He still has to improve many things, but he's only 20 and only just turned pro. He doesn't have Olympic experience like Joshua, or a ~decade of amateur experience like many other stars.

    The biggest question mark over this guy right now is has he turned pro too early?

    Would he have been better off staying in the amateurs & mixing in the best of their company for the next few years rather than facing a diet of second and third tier pros?

    By "better off", I mean in terms of his overall development as a fighter.

    I think he should have stayed in the amateurs and gone for gold, but time will tell.

    I guess it's hard to hold back a guy who has already pole-axed Joshua in sparring.

    As heavyweight prospects go, he looks about as good as there is. Anyone with a jab that good is going places.

    Glad he was brought back to the forefront gradually after his loss to Joyce instead of just being tossed in a bin
