Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois given green light to make voluntary defense of IBF heavyweight title

I agree! Sit the kid down, tell him to forget a goose egg and fight fight fight, get experience, fight the best you can, knowing that you are going in a bit over your head and in a different fashion. This kid would have the potential to clean house.

Potentially - yeah. Possibly - maybe. Probably - dunno.

Won't know until, like Andersen and Dubois, he gets dragged into deep waters without waterwings.

But it's not about if bakole will do better against ddd than Zhang would. Zhang is more deserving as he's waited longer. Bakole only best jared.
Zhang more deserving than parker too, as Parker has been.up and down throughout his career and only seems to be coming good now.

I like the spirit of your post. I do not agree that fairness and equality of a sort have a place here at the table lol. There might be a case where a fighter just is really deserving but I don't think this is it. But again I like the idea of being fair I certainly respect it.

Exactly and the thing is why not the sooner the better? Was it really better for Anderson to have to come up against Bakole and really take a hiding which hopefully he gets past, or woukd this have best been solved by getting in there early, when you still had a lot of baby fat, water wings to fall back on?

If this had been a rookie attempt by Anderson and his corner had called the fight it would have been fine. That's what I think should be for Moses. If he gets in a real jam he's still got his training wheels on, you could call the fight. Once you get to a certain point you can't do that anymore and that's more the danger as I see it.

Aw, I was hoping to get called up as the IBF's mandatory challenger. I collected all the tokens on my cereal boxes and everything.
