Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Daniel Dubois Will Outbox, Stop Dillian Whyte

[James Hunt]

Frank still peddling nonsense in the hope to steer Whyte off Fury's way.

This is exactly how narratives work. Put this fight out there, keep repeating it and saying that it should happen, and then put it into people minds that maybe it should happen. When in reality, it will NEVER happen. Warren wants to get Whyte out of the way so that Fury doesn't have to fight him in the mandatory fight. If he can get Whyte to fight someone else, then Fury can go straight into the AJ payday fight. That's all he is doing by bringing up thos fight that Whyte will never take. And by the looks of it, a lot of you are taking the bait.

Doesn’t seem like anyone is taking the bait and believing that Whyte has a shot against Fury though. People aren’t quite that daft.

I like this myth that Frank Warren had created about Dubois. At the end of the day his best win is Gorman(also unproven) and he couldn’t stop Kevin Johnson.

He may have had some impressive stoppages but against people no one had even heard of!

100% this mate. Beating 14 cans doesnt make you a star, and by no means a ko artist, like you said the one guy he was in with who was known to be durable and nothing else lasted the distance. His power is totally unproven at any level. Needs to step up from the fujimotos of the world. I cant believe d.d is so ill managed he very recently signed a 5 year extention contract with warren. Who on earth in this day and age does that... 5 years!

I know Frank is just trying to hype up his golden prospect but come on man, this is a matchup that hasn't been rumored, hasn't been talked about and is not happening any time soon.
Frank is really reaching here. I'm a fan of DDD but he's a ways away from fighing the likes of Whyte. On top of that, the WBC finally seems to be enforcing the mandatory status of the winner of Whyte-Povetkin. Whyte fighting and beating Dubois would be pointless at this point in his career. Keep your eye on the ball Frank. Nobody should be taking this talk seriously.

Don't worry, Dubious has serious power. It's not his power that's at question. He just doesn't have the pro experience yet to say he's going to be an elite level boxer. Personally, I think he's on his way and is getting matched very well but we will find out more about Dubois when he fights Joyce later this year.
The 5 year contract extension is nothing new in boxing. Boxers sign contracts like that all the time, I don't know where you're getting that. Dubois is only 22. He'll be 27 by the time the contract extension ends, near the beginning of what should be his prime. If he continues to win until that point, he will be able to demand more money before resigning.

Hes doing all this off of a fight with Nathan Gorman. Imagine he beats Hughie Fury, he'll be up for the greatest heavyweight of all time.

Whether he has a shot or not, he's owed the mandatory so Fury will have to fight him, vacate or be stripped.and if he is stripped or vacates, then there is no AJ unification fight.

Yep. Exactly. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it.

That wasn’t really my point.

[Eff Pandas]

I suspect he would too, but I don't think that's even on the table as the plan nor would Whyte likely be down for that with seemingly a title shot finally awaiting him if he wins this fight from the sounds of it.
