    Daniel Dubois is a Legitimate Elite Heavyweight

    This guy really has all the attributes, he's tough, solid chin, great power and stamina. His only question mark is his heart.

    Aside from his losses to Usyk, he has shown himself to be possibly the 2nd best heavyweight in the world right now, his resume speaks for itself as well

    Hergovic
    Baby Miller
    Anthony Joshua
    Wardley

    His loss to Joyce was a fluke, he was winning that fight, similar to Vitali Klitschko vs Chris Byrd.

    He can have a very bright future at the young age of 28. I'd rematch Joyce, then go through a few of the B level competition like Parker, Okolie, Gassiev, before stepping up to Fury or Kabayel.

    I don't even think it's his "heart", he obviously has some sort of Autism/Aspergers and with that comes a lot of OCD tendencies and stuff and mentally he just melts down when faced with an elusive opponent he can't get to.

    I agree he's very good, yes he lost to Usyk twice but Usyk is a top ATG, losses to him impacts ones resume very little. It's arguable Dubois has the second best resume of the post Wlad era tbh.

      It still remains to be seen if he beats Itauma, Kabayel or Parker.

      He is arguably top 5 guy of this era.

        I also think he proved himself to be an elite fighter and definitely has a great resume so far.

        Him having a syndrome? No, this is very likely to stop him from obtaining a boxing license. I think he is a bit timid and a bit stuрid.

          He's the 3rd or 4th best heavyweight until proven otherwise

              In a climate where nobody fights any one there can only be opinions. DDD best fabio, but I thought Moses beats Fabio too as would ajit.
              So yes, I've no problem ddd being above those 2 u til proven otherwise, but my bad I mean current rankings in the division..
              Oh but if talking about best of era he's probably no3 behind usyk and maybe fury. But beat moses and fury then ddd could be no2
