Comments Thread For: Dubois' Promoter Very Open To Usyk Clash For Vacant WBO Title

[super-x]

Usyk is totally untested at Heavy

So is Dubois... but Usyk brings a wealth of experience into the ring from the amateurs and pros.. Dubois from what i know didnt have much of a amateur career and his best win to date is Gorman.. not exactly a recognisable name Gorman. Other then that all lumps who didnt actually come to even try and win. Similar thing Warren did with yarde... fight 18 or so bin men which magically got yarde no.1 with wbo and in with kovalev... and we all know what happened there. Experience is key. Beating on walking punch bags does not prepart you for top 5 guys in the division.

We want dubois to step up but this night be too much. But it might be a bit of step up for usyk also

Ortiz is a Cuban southpaw who has barely lost a round in his career.

His amateur record was something like 385-15.

So I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Obviously someone hasnt had their history lessons.

Ortiz fought no one. Your given him props for being born in Cuba what the ?? He wasn't even the top Cuban amateur at the time.

As an amateur he won some Cuban championship medals and a couple other minor places in proper competitions, Usyk won gold medals at 2011 World Championships and 2012 Olympics.

What Olympic gold medals did Ortiz win .. none .. who did he beat as a pro ? Do you think we can't read boxrec ??

Ortiz?!? Ortiz a hunnerd yeahs old!!

You must be like 15. Ortiz is in his 40s and it doesn't matter when he is levels above other fighters and has higher ring IQ.

[LoadedWraps]

Ortiz is talentless and ancient, he had a horrible amateur record and beat no one of note when he turned pro.

Usyk was a gold medalist and pound for pound at cruiserweight all he he has is the weight. Maybe Usyk is cr*p at heavy bu thats a big if.

Fury is a different story ... terrible fight to watch though.

Ortiz is only old if you're incredibly young or don't understand we've come a long way with understanding how to manage the human body.

I agree about Usyk, I rate him highly.

Fury vs Ortiz or Usyk is only terrible if you don't actually like boxing. Boxing is hit and don't be hit. A high level chess match is a fantastic watch, for the purist like me.

[Corelone]

Do it then, but its Warren. He's just talking about something other than Joe. I don't like where this is going.

Don’t get ahead of yourself promoter

Daniel has yet to face a top 15 American who isn’t looking to fall somewhere. I would wait because he’s still a bit raw and needs some finishing touches and his heart checked. I admire his desire and willingness but take baby steps because I don’t want to see you crumble like Frank Bruno in there!

[slimPickings]

Until Usyk fights and beats a proper HEAVY WEIGHT worth a damn, he does not rate highly to me....in this division!!!

Chazz ******** Witherspoon DOES NOT count!!!!

[alexjust]

With Frank's bankruptcy I'm not surprised he is desperate to make some $$$. He'd pit Dubois against AJ if he could.
