Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua will knock out Daniel Dubois 'in style,' says Eddie Hearn

[IAMTHAT]

Didn't Edward say exactly the same about Hrgovic.

Personally I'm hoping for a Foreman Lyle slugfest. But that's me every heavyweight fight.

& let's get things straight here, firstly Dubois isn't bidding he is the ibf paper belt champion.
2nd the wording has to change. When Ali was champ he faced everybody, was he 3 times undesputed?(I'm not sure) Or just a paper belt holder like Aj avoiding all the danger men in the division until he faced the best cruiserweight at the time & always with a prefight rematchroom clause.

There's a difference, time will tell but so far Aj hasn't beaten a prime elite heavyweight. Name one? 41 yr old retired 2 year's Klitschko, prospect Parker, nope.

As you can tell i'm hoping Dubois can get Kanye out of there early, or a 12 rd mauling would be great.

I never too the Hrgovic beating DDD seriously. AJ with Ben Davidson as a trainer I think edges DDD out for a win. But then again DDD is so much non stop pressure. Really can’t wait

[IAMTHAT]

Eddie is probably right. AJ does just about everything better than Dubois.

Except pressure

[IAMTHAT]

I'm not sure who you are seeing as elite HWs since 2012 when Joshua's career started? If you are saying that a 2 yr retired Klitschko isn't then fair enough. An astute observer of the HW scene like yourself would surely not have Wilder as elite - not after he was undressed by Fury? Dangerous yes, but elite? No.

That leaves Fury and Usyk. Usyk he fought twice and they seemed close to making the Fury fight but Fury was contractually obliged to make the 3rd Wilder fight.

The truth of the matter is there are very few elite fighters in any division during a 10 year span - assuming normal definition of elite. Every division has bogeymen at some point or other - the so-called dangerous fighters. Wlad was still dangerous, The Parker win has aged very well.

Now let’s see who wants to fight Bakole.

Dubois smacks Bakole up after second round

[Slip jab]

Dangerous for both . DDD is there to be hit, good power, decent chin as in its better than AJs.AJ has speed power and experience but is chimney which is what it comes down to. DDD faces trouble early but gets AJ outta there. Dubois by KO

Bakole breaks Dubois. Bakole does everything better than Dubois in boxing.

I think AJ is much more naturally talented and athletic than Dubois, and hes also got his swagger back recently dishing out some nasty beatdowns and big KOs. Maybe if this fight happened in a few years Dubois would have a better chance, but for now I dont think AJ is far enough out of his prime yet, and will **** him up bad and stop him within 8. Hes better pretty much everywhere.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It is a good fight between two top 10 guys, but this paper title thing is pointless.

[Roadblock]

Im a firm believer in a racehorse that's in his top form, AJ is in the middle of a purple patch of form he is boxing great and his mind is the best its ever been, I think he will stop Dubois no problems at all.

[Wacked_Out]

and if Joshua loses, will they do another rebuild with 3-4 very soft touches that leads to another paper title shot? or Dubois rematches till Joshua wins?

Obviously endless rematches till AJ wins.

I think it could easily play out that way. I want it to. I've seen Dubois gain confidence the last couple and looked excellent against some tough top dudes. But I just think he's gonna pee himself.
