Is Daniel Dubois the best young Heavyweight in the world??

[TheProudLunatic]

Meh

At least he looks the part.

[Shrap]

Nah. If he fights Joshua next that'll be the beginning of the end. He's not good against quality opposition.

[Stab Master Arson]

No. For **** sake.

[deathofaclown]

He's had two fights in a row now where he's HAD to suck it up, bite down and push and he's done so.

Clearly there's still going to be question marks, but he's answering his critics now, in resounding fashion.

If anyone predicted that Dubois was going to walk Hrgovic down face first, Carl Froch style, soak up punishment for 6 rounds and put it on Hrgovic and make him wilt for a second half stoppage I think everyone would have said you were smoking the ready rock.

Credit is due.

yeah he did very well

I wouldn't rule him out quitting again though, he clearly has it within him to do it, even if he has shown he can bite down.

It's like Victor Ortiz, he used to always get the same questions asked about him too but now and again like in the Berto fight he just decided he wouldn't be denied that night. He did revert to type later though. That's why I wouldn't say Dubois is never going to bow out easily again, I believe he will at some point.

But for now he's shown he also has the ability not to if he wants it enough and that's a good sign.

He is a very experinced hw by the age of 26. I expected him to lose badly against Hrgovic. he just walked through his punches and beat the Croat down.

With Fury and Usyk being 2-3 fights away from retirement, Wilder probably retired, I like Dubois`s chances to become the real title holder.

[Stephankotyk]

DD will get real belt only in good matchmaking. Anyone who will ACTUALLY punch gonna to destroy him.
i get brits are trying to find next big thing. But future is bleak after Fury and AJ are gone, probably same statement can be made about HW in general. So many bums like Hrgovich.

Moses Itauma is being touted as the next big British heavyweight.

He does look good though, only 19, lightning quick hands and combinations, good skills, power, movement etc etc. Very very different to most of the typical robotic heavyweights today in terms of style.

We'll see though, he's only beating stiffs at the moment, which is to be expected for a 19 year old that's not fought much yet. I'll reserve my judgement until he starts stepping up but he definitely has plenty to work with.
