Comments Thread For: Wilder vs. Dubois: British Boxing Figures Give Their Takes

[REDEEMER]

Yes! I agree with you. People on here sometimes say to me : "How can you know anything when you aren't a boxer yourself??". Then I'm like "Have you seen what boxers themselves say???" Most of them know nothing about the sport - other than what they do themselves in the ring.

Dubois has beaten literally no-one in his career and now he is going to beat a guy who knocked almost every one of 45 opponents out. Normally I would slate Wilder's record but it full of *way* better opponents than Dubois' record. Wilder is fast and he lands those right hands in every fight - including both Fury fights.

How can you slate any fighter who has under 15 fights ? Wilder was saved by the bell in his 13th fight and has improved very little to what most champs do, DDD is an explosive big unit that Wilder has not fought yet because that’s a true power puncher improving so you can’t really say it’s not competitive to the point he’s still a top Wilder win .otherwise your lying or your not in the know .

Dubious has never fought anyone more dangerous than a heavy bag.

Just another UK hype job shouting about a fight he knows will not, and can not happen.
Got no time for these frauds who have no intention on following through. Just another ***** Whyte coward who we all know will only fight the weakest nobodies he can find.

"Inexperienced he might be for now, but once past Joyce few will be able to argue that Dubois doesn’t belong with the Heavyweight division’s elite."

Once past Joyce? That fight is no foregone conclusion by any means. It seems to me people are underestimating Joyce.

This is exactly why the Brits make themselves targets for blowback.

Wilder happened to lose to the best heavyweight on the planet. But how do you jump from that to now demoting him to fighting a green guy like Daniel Dubois? And worse yet getting knocked out by him?

I can understand Frank Warren pushing this ******ity. He's a promoter and they get paid to shovel bullshit.

But the British boxing establishment has to jump in with both feet too???

Quite right old boy quite right. Sometimes my countrymen embarrass me with stuff like this. It’s collective psychosis. The fight isn’t happening, wilder hasn’t spoken about it, PBC hasn’t spoken about it, there is no reward fo wilder, wilder is fighting fury for the trilogy, it just goes to show you how business is done in boxing in Britain. Both Lucifer Hearn and Fisheyes use the exact same tactics to try and lure fighters from other promotions instead of making fights in house

The politics of boxing are INSANE! Story's like this get out and then the no brainers of the world read it and will take it for gospel truth. Even when it literally makes no sense in a real world application.

Exactly my point I wont take anything away from Dubois he has alot of promise in the future from what we've seen but that's very little at best. Wallin has faced a better competitor in Fury and we still know NOTHING about him. How could anybody in their right mind say since Dubois beat Gorman he is ready for the best of the best in the division. That being Wilder or Fury or Joshua either one.

Dboi fought a heavyweight named Fujimoto in his last fight, at home. That's no threat, that wasn't a pick. If Joe wasn't slow as a statue, I wouldn't give D a chance.

"fantastic fight in 12 months"

Depends how DDs boxing trajectory is by that time.

If wilder loses to Fury then he may be no more in 12 months time.. if DD loses to Joyce then he's back to the drawing board (although I don't think it'll effect his long term goals)..

If both Win then is DD on Wilders radar? Id imagine It'd be a dragged out sitcom with AJ then..

If Wilder does lose and carry on and DD wins then I'd fancy a bout in UK in the favour of DD although I'd think Warren would cash in on a trip to America.... Question is, could the slamma' attract the crowds back?....

[Roberto Vasquez]

Ok so the majority of the British boxing community thinks since Fury beat Wilder that Dubois can do it too. I just wanna get it straight the arguably #1 heavyweight in the world ( Fury ) who is 6'9" 270 pounds beats Wilder so Dubois is bound to be able to. I mean he did beat Gorman so its only logical he can beat Wilder.

Some people's logic literally makes no sense to me.

FFS, he's got enough on his hands right now with JJ, without this needless speculation.
