When triple Crown loses I am going to bump and sticky this thread forever.
P.s. just so that people know, when I said that it was a bit of a piss take of boxnation, Every time DDD had one of his 30 second fights Buncey (god bless him) spends longer talking about his amazing feet that what the actual fight lasted.Quote:

With all the recent posts about Dubois, I thought I'd take a quick look on you tube while I had a spare 5 minutes. before I watched it, I thought that the above post was a bit OTT and knee jerk. But after seeing him, I can understand why.Quote:

I'd rather watch him than Whyte , Chiz, Bellew and the Haye of today, that's for sure.
What PED rumours are these?
I've not heard any at all.
You can tell he's naturally just a big built kid, not AJ ripped and he needs to stay that way so he's nice and fluid.
I think he'd smash Whyte to bits tomorrow to be honest.
At just turned 20 years old he looks a serious prospect.
But it all boils down to his punch resistance or whether or not he's got that Warrior in him to get back up if he does get put on his ass.
Time will tell but it'll be interesting to see how he takes care of Dorian Darch on Saturday... Hughie Fury beat him.on points and AJ got a TKO win in 2 rounds.
1st round KO for DDD anyone?
Possibly KO of the year for those who haven't seen it.

Cant have a KO of the year in a mismatch like this.Quote:

Oh we do, we know all too well these days, which is why dinosaurs like Warren can't get away with flogging 20 mismatches before making a decent fight.Quote:

Dubois has fought two china-chins - Howe and AJ Carter - that Warren took criticism for because of their safety. Now i'm not saying Dubois can't punch but when you're odds-on to be slaughtered inside 3 minutes it doesn't take a boxing expert to work out there's something abnormally wrong with the opponents punch resistance.
You guys just need a cynical facts are facts Teddy Atlas breaking down your 6 pro start heavies hype'fuls ;D. Many of these early "just watching sausage be made" matches should be off air. http://youtu.be/6epKuRJJpHIQuote:

In a way boxing is less enjoyable the more you know. For instance, when Dubois fights Darch, to justify a mismatch the BN/BT commentators/pundits will roll out a million cliches like "slip ups," "tough man," "any heavyweight can punch," "can't take your eye off the ball," "respected in the trade," etc, etc.
Now Dubois fighting Darch makes perfect sense from a business/career perspective but as an actual contest it means nothing, just another easy KO for the meme.
Wow watching that vid of Wilder in his 5th fight and he doesnt look like he has improved much since then. Im really surprised people think hes competitive against Aj
His flaws are as exciting as his actual punch as both will eventually lead to disaster.Quote:
