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

[Roberto Vasquez]

I would imagine if Dubois is smart... he's concentrating on only Joyce right now. Because Joyce is a tricky and talented fighter. He is a bit slow, but Dubois is certainly no speed king. I would say in a year Wilder may take on either of those two as his comeback fight after Fury embarrasses him again. Just a guess.

How do you feel about Nathan Gorman? Because he was just about to make his comeback before the CV outbreak. Could he beat Wilder for example?

You're a smart guy - almost every guy who has had 15 fights is undefeated. Dubois also has the disadvantage of being a frank Warren guy - so he hasn't been tested. Also trust me - this makes him look twice as good as he actually is.

Dubois fighting Wilder would be the dumbest move he ever makes. This is just another Anthony Yarde against Kovalaev. Least he will finally learn something if he loses - that he needs a new promoter who can step him up in the right way.

Wilders best win is a luck saved by the bell over the hill guy because Ortiz best was in 2015 ,so good luck selling a big athletic guy with a monster jab doesn’t stand a chance vs Wilder ? But on this planet a big capable boxer always is a threat to him .

Nathan Gorman is top prospect ,you can get away with these semantics with him but DDD ? You’re going to have be better at convincing those who can see .

uh? Ortiz is ranked no. 6. DDD hasn't even fought a guy in the top-20. I get Wilder has a dodgy record but it's 4 times as good as DDD's right now!

You'll change your mind when DDD struggles to get past Joyce. And when you see that Fury finds it much harder to beat a non-fatigued Wilder.

This has to stop. DDD is a cobbler that fights other Cobblers. Well, I don't blame him. They see Wilder as a cobbler too post-Fury

Tough to judge when he'd fought no one of much note, then lost in his only step-up fight. Don't think he won a round in that one save possibly the first. He does seem to have good fundamentals, although needs to work on the speed a bit, and the defense obviously. Don't think he's ready for Wilder yet... but is young so it may come eventually.

DDD is young fringe contender, Wilder is top 10 guy, probably still top 5. DDD shouldn`t make that step yet, Wilder finishes him.

Wilder fought bums only at that age.
