bakole is the boogie man here - bigger and quicker than DD

This may be true honestly. Fresh off the fight I was high on the fun of watching it.

Coming back to reality, Dubois will have to beat Fury or Usyk in order for me to say he has undisputed potential. The HW division is so nutty at this point, there are alot of unknowns. Dubois needs to beat a non chinny fighter to keep it going and prove himself a 100%. I hope he does, we need more come forward ready to beatdown their opponents heavyweights. Fun to watch.

Both Fury and Usyk are slowing down, Dubois could possibly beat them both, the current crop of top fighters are on their way out.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fury beat Usyk in the rematch just based on ever so slight slippage not because he's actually better.

He's (Dubois) just battered two "non chinny fighters" in Hrgovic and Miller they're arguably THE best chins in the division, so if that's what he needs to do to prove himself in your eyes truthfully he's already done it.

Hrgovic has shown the best chin in the division since a prime Wach arguably Vitali, he was eating Zhangs hooks and backhands for breakfast same with Dubois (The Zhang KD wasn't legit).

Everyone was absolutely sure that Joshua was going to destroy Big Doobie. Big Doobie beats him like a Giant Pinata , and then there's all the , Well , this , that , and the other. You'd rather down the Big Doobie , than believe your own eyes. Carry on , the Big Doobie train will just continue to roll over whoever is next.

Really?

I'd consider Dubois the underdog if he fought Martin Bakole.

I think it's wrong to think like this. DDD is the one proving he's better than people think. Bakole is only sparring stories coming from himself. Nobody is saying bakole best them.
I don't think ddd would be underdog. If ddd is underdog against someone like bakole, ddd might as well fight fury, if DDD is going to be underdog.
Because not much to gain from bakole. DDD should fight zhang or parker

[BrankoB]

If they believe he is so good, they should let him fight Martin Bakole so we can all see if the sparring stories are true. Somehow I think they will stay away from Bakole at all costs - like he is the Devil himself.

Well, Bakole just destroyed the lone American HW hope in Jared Anderson, and in doing that he showed quickness and seriously hard punching.

I don't think Dubois is a bad fighter. What I think is that people are getting excited too soon about his possibilities at the very top.

I used to think the same thing, but then I noticed something strange. Nobody was dispuutting Bakole's sparring stories. Nobody is calling him a lier. Nobody is offering a different version of the story. Nobody was calling him out. If fact, nobody is even mentioning his name apart from Zhang who is not afraid of anybody and hasn't sparred with Bakole yet.

I think we've seen 100% of Doobie's ability. It doesnt get much better but can easily get a lot worse.

Just look at ol mate Joshy.

Yes, but I don't think bakole can be favourite against a top 3 heavyweight from sparring stories. Bruce Lee did great in sparring, but it's everyone who Bruce sparred with who said Bruce was great in sparring, Bruce didn't go around saying he beat everyone, like bakole does, yet Bruce has critics who aren't convinced? Nobody who sparred bakole said bakole was so good.

Maybe favourite against Joshua though, solely on basis I think bakole takes ddd past 5 rounds.
If ddd beats bakole, it will be so what's it's only bakole

My brother said something after the Aj fight “People forget just how young Dubois is for a heavyweight”. He’s been through a lot already. He came to fight AJ from bell one. Dubois has lost and comeback without being afraid or timid. He has experience now. Confidence. Yes he lost to Usyk. A great fighter. I think the body shot he landed was legit and im an Usyk fan. Fights vs Parker, Zhang, Bukole, could all be tough but I think he’d be favoured for sure. Dubois is just not the type of guy people want to give credit to. Somehow the brits loved Bruno. I never saw AJ as the second coming of Lewis, he’s overrated ( not a bad thing to be ) but it was the effort from Dubois that impressed me most. You have to throw to win. I hope he gets the support he deserves and needs. I don’t care how commercial he is outside the ring, he can be proud. Let’s see more.
