Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua understands the danger posed by Daniel Dubois

[Poopdick]

Any trace of the more green, less confident Dubois seem to be gone at this point. But the same can be said for AJ. Plowing Amir Khan's wife and churning her guts inside out, seems to have really taken his killer instinct to the next level

you diggin on Aj's weeny? yikes

[Poopdick]

Yes !

I'd like that to happen. lol.

Believe in the Big Doobie Diesel power. He's going to beat AJ up , take his confidence , and make him quit.

Joshua tko'd Wladimir, didn't outpoint him. Anyway, just into detail and nitpicking.

It's a good fight. I see Dubois is officially the IBF heavyweight champion.

Why do you think Zhang is a real threat to Joshua, as opposed to Dubois out of interest? Yes he punches hard, but he’s so methodical and gasses within 6 rounds, plus did nothing against Parker apart from the 2 knockdowns.

I remember watching the Hgorvic vs Zhang fight and thinking how inferior they both were to AJ and Usyk, and I recall the commentators making a similar observation. Dubois showed Hgorvic’s true level, and I believe both him and AJ would do the same with Zhang, who ironically has lost to AJ as an amateur already.

Zhang is huge and *smart* in the way he boxes and he has huge power and AJ is vulnerable with his chin. So I think Zhang is a risk for AJ. Plus Zhang beat up Wilder in a way than no one has done and Joyce too.

He's probably on something too tbh because he's 41 years old now

The real tell though is AJ will avoid him unless he has to fight him. AJ was promised Fury if he fought Ngannou so the Saudis won't make him fight Zhang yet

Fair enough. Personally I don’t think AJ is as vulnerable as people make him out to be, given that he has withstood clean shots from the likes of Whyte, Klitschko and Povetkin who have straight laid out other HWs, and he also weathered the same punches from Usyk that pretty much put away Fury.

Zhang has power for sure, but everything else seems limited for me. He put away Wilder yes, but I’d argue the beat downs Fury gave him were even bigger with far more punishment.

Besides, it’s telling how Zhang opted out of a Parker rematch, so let’s see if he revisits that or other compelling match ups like Bakole or Kabayel while the top HWs see to business. If AJ is fighting the likes of Dubois and then potentially Fury, there’s no reason why Zhang would even be in the picture, so any talk of AJ avoiding him seems silly to me.

It's a cracker as both have come back well from defeats. Dubois has shown that you can't take him lightly. He hits hard and has great experience now after the Bryan win and fighting Usyk, Miller and Hrgovic.

Joshua is the better boxer and has looked brutal since Usyk but there's summit about this fight.

Can't wait. And it's in the UK too so finally gonna get an atmosphere......

Where's hrgovic nowadays, awfully quiet?

[billeau2]

Huh. See, I didn't even know that.
But, as they say, that was then and this is now.
I would love to see Zhang vs Joshua!
Time is running out on Zhang though.

A Daoist of great repute met a Zen Priest and wanted to discuss differences and they did eventually arriving at the following conclusion: "That was Zen this was Tao." Sorry, will go back to editing this horrid manuscript in front of me...

He is in contact with his fan base, Doctor Z to be exact as they plan out a future for the stiff croat. Among alternatives being discussed are, a particularly nasty section of Tijuana where all the cab drivers are known to pack a wallop. Local Girl scout troop #1004 out of Jersey, where little miss Reyna Simms is said to have belted a few boys who would not leave the rest of the troop alone...
