Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois looking to the future rather than shared history with Anthony Joshua

[roademier]

This is one of those fights that literally is the one who lands the first punch.

[MulaKO]

yeah always liked him, then he showed those signs and I cooled off on him a bit. but always root for him. once Usyk retires, looks like Dubois may be the man. hope be kicks Joshua ass. I don't think he can beat Joshua. but maybe

Yeah , I always had high hopes for him but just like you , once he started the no mas chit I drizzled away from him also
But now ………

[thack]

Should be a decent tussle , Dan is far too easy to hit with the right hand and Joshua will be throwing that lots .. Joshua is a little weak around the whiskers .Both have quit , so lets see.

[Phase III]

Destroyer, never forget the day you knocked Joshua the FO in sparring. He can’t take a shot to the chin. Do it again.

[BrankoB]

Can triple DDD become the guy or man at heavyweight ???

Anything is possible. I must say, after he lost to Joyce I thought he was mentally fragile and would never recover from that defeat. Joyce on the other hand looked solid as a rock. After Usyk knocked Daniel out with a jab, I thought he was gone completely. But he has bounced back (and Joyce has bounced into obscurity). How fortunes have changed - it is incredible.

Both have looked vulnerable and I can see it going either way. However, if Joshua lands that right hand as easily as Hrgovic was landing, Daniel will not be able to take those shots.

Gotta agree with you
I thought the same hence Joyce costing me money lol

Im not entirely sold on The Big Doobie.

Warren manipulated him into a title shot with Usyk he didn't deserve and now an email strap that Usyk gifted him.

Plus he looked crap against Miller for long periods and won cos Big Baby gassed badly. He gets mad props for splattering Hrgy through blocking a heap of punches with his face.

Beating Joshua will go some ways towards redemption but he could just as easily take a knee again or get KTFO.

This is one of those fights that literally is the one who lands the first punch.

It's not really, which one of these fighters has been decked and stopped by a jab? Daniel Dubois.

Anthony Joshua every single time he has been decked, has got up 'Joshua has only ever been stopped once, on his feet in his corner with a smile on his face vs Andy Ruiz Junior'.

There can be a serious debate made, that Anthony Joshua has one of the most proven durability at Heavyweight 'Statistically he has fought the most top level Heavyweights, and he has still be decked less than fighters such as Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Those two fighters were the two other Heavyweight Mountains premier Champion's of this era'.

Anthony Joshua's durability on all-time rating, is not the best 'But in comparison to other Heavyweight fighters, within his boxing era? Joshua for sure actually has a solid level of durability'.

I totally disagree with the notion, that this fight is about 'Which of these two fighter's lands their power first'.

You have to wonder, how will Daniel Dubois react when he is whammed by Anthony Joshua's jab? The likely-hood is that in the arena's of the battle of the jabs, Joshua will be the superior competitor.

The power of both fighters in this fight, is a major factor 'But for me personally, the match up is not just about power. And which of the two fighters lands that power first'.

Note: I believe that the fight is about composure, and boxing fundamentals. People may mock Anthony Joshua, but in terms of mastering the text book moves of boxing 'Joshua is in my opinion, one of the best Heavyweight fighters of his era along with Oleksandr Usyk. Both of their games is built up from mastering the fundamentals of boxing, then combining those fundamental skills with their athletic attributes and athletic skills 'Which are actually two different things. Having speed, power, endurance those are athletic attributes. Co-ordination, Agility, Dexterity, those are athletic skills'.

Stylistically Francis Ngannou vs Anthony Joshua 'Was actually very good preparation for Joshua coming in this fight. Ngannou was a fighter with surprisingly solid boxing fundamentals, tremendous brute strength and power. Those are pretty much the main attributes which Daniel Dubos relies upon in his boxing game'.

Daniel Dubois in comparison has fought fighters stylistically skill for skill or athletically are nowhere near the level of Anthony Joshua 'Filip Hrgović is a solid fighter skill for skill, but even in this regard he is most likely a good few levels below Anthony Joshua'.

To conclude: The fight is not really about which of these fighters lands their power first, I totally disagree with that description of the fight. But I will say this? If people want to go around using that expression, then maybe you can all use it like this 'When Anthony Joshua lands his power first, is Daniel Dubois still going to be there? Is Dubois staying in the fight after that point?'.

If people check the trend in Anthony Joshua's recent fights 'When Joshua lands his power, the opponent's in terms of being competitive begin to disappear. Once Joshua lands his power, it has been altering the trajectory of the fight dramatically'.

But understand this? That is not Anthony Joshua's entire game 'Joshua does not just rely upon, landing his power and trying to get fighters out of their. As I have stated in my previous posts, Anthony Joshua is the only double jeopardy threat in the Heavyweight Division.

'Anthony Joshua is the only double jeopardy threat in the Heavyweight Division, he is the one of the most component and proven skill for skill pure boxers also? Anthony Joshua is one of the most proven power punchers in the division. No other Heavyweight in the division has that combination of attributes and level of threat at such a high level, Anthony Joshua is the only one. Therefor if Joshua utilizes all of his power, I have stated this before 'It is over for all of these other top level Heavyweights'.

I warned people before Francis Ngannou vs Anthony Joshua 'Many folk in the boxing community and combat sports world, did not understand. That Francis Ngannou was potentially going to suffer the worst ever beat down or loss of his entire combat sports career. On fight night, that is precisely what happened 'Francis Ngannou a fighter who the combat sporting world perceived as invulnerable almost to physical attacks, was obliterated and decimated by the power of Anthony Joshua'.

And Daniel Dubois in my opinion, is walking towards a very similar situation 'Dubois potentially may suffer his worst beat down or loss in his boxing career. There will be people that kind of play that eventuality down, and say things like? Well it is all great experience for Daniel Dubois'.

No, this is another factor people need to understand about experience 'Experience is great, and it is invaluable. But there are different levels of experience'.

If a boxer's experience is wining, or losing fights at top level but being competitive 'That is great experience which is going fortified a fighter. Because whether it is competitive sports or life in general? It is not always about winning'.

Great Champions, or people who are perceived as prolific winners 'They have lost many times, but it is how a individual performs during a loss or in a reaction to a loss? That is what builds and fortifies a fighter, and a person'.

Daniel Dubois has lost fights in his career before, but there have always been many positives he could take from those fights 'Daniel Dubois was ether winning the fight vs Joe Joyce or level at the time of the stoppage, and he did pushed Oleksandr Uysk to a certain extent'.

Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois 'Come September 21st, Dubois for the first time in his career? May leave the ring with zero positives to take from a fight. Because Anthony Joshua has the ability to inflict that level of loss' etc.

I guess we'll just have to see
