Comments Thread For: Dubois-Joyce Winner Will Be Mandatory For a World Title Next Year, Says Warren

[Silver Spear]

Pulev will be gone from world level after Joshua beats him. Pulev has always looked average at best, he is the most known for being knocked out by Klitschko.

Wilder will be gone from world level after Fury stops him again, which is very likely.
Usyk has only fought 1 journeyman at hw.

So, there is nothing to suggest Dubois and Joyce are not on the same level with those guys.

After unification happens, we need fresh blood in championship fights.

Finding it hard to disagree with this based on how you laid it out. The only thing I could say is most of the other top guys in the division are already ranked in the top 10 of almost every major organization and have been for some time. DD and Joyce are barely ranked in any top 10 and have not really fought international competition.

I think Wilder will retire after Fury beats him again. Even if titles get vacated and someone else picks titles up, Nobody is really going to opt to fight Wilder in a voluntary fight because he can level you at any minute. And I can’t see Wilder stepping back down to fight guys to try and get into mandatory positions for significantly less money than he’d been making fighting guys like Fury.

At 35+, I think that will probably be the end of him.

Good thing for the division is probably Fury and Joshua having two fight because that will tie the belts up for a year or so, but it will give the fighters below them time to fight each other and make a statement in the division to be seen as a real challenger.

That’s if Joshua takes a second fight after fury humiliates him. It will probably be so one-sided that people might not care to see it again.

I have been saying this for some time ever since I heard of the trilogy fight. I highly doubt Wilder is willing to start fresh at his age making far less than he made in his previous fights.

Next year is the perfect time for all the #2's in the division to start weeding themselves out as the clear cut #1 contender for the throne.

I'm just really looking forward to this to see what they got and about time they stepped up.
More for dubois as at least Joyce fought usyk

Fisheyes talking kaka!

How does that make sense. Dubios#2 v Joyce #11 is not worthy of being a FINAL eliminator. Parker #3 v Fa #6 is Closer! but if Parker beats Fa...logic tells me that Parker will jump Dubios even if he beats joyce as Fa is 6 places higher than Joyce.
if the rules are followed we should get Dubios v Parker as a final eliminator for the WBO provided Dubios and Parker win their ranked fights
