    Wardley is a better prospect than Dubois

    He showed me more in one fight than I have seen from Dubois. I think the only thing Dubois has over him is his elite jab.

    Dubois reminds me of Frank Bruno but I think he’s better than Bruno ever was and that shows how overrated the 90s was, lol.

      Lewis, Holyfield, Bowie, Tyson, Bruno, Bonecrusher etc etc hardly a weak decade.

        Holyfield lost to a Moorer that got sparked by a 45-yr old man.

        Tyson was a hypejob that whimsically declined at age 23.

        Bowe got his career ended an Eurobum that’s not even as good as Hrgovic.

        Bruno was a big stiff and the poor man’s Daniel Dubois (Dubois actually has a better jab than Bruno).

        Lennox got sparked by guys who started boxing at 21 and won’t stand a chance against Hunter.

        Overrated era but let’s focus on the topic.

          Bruno literally ko'd someone with a jab coming up and he was exchanging jabs and sometimes getting the better of lewis

          Dubois hasnt been tested but if i look at bruno highlights id say bruno was a better fighter than what dubois has showed us

          I cant see dubois lasting 10 seconds against a prime tyson or lasting two rounds vs lewis at this stage

          And tyson was a maniac nobody knows what happened for his decline hut he was far more mentally unstable and suicidal at that young age than fury gets slack for,i can imagine his wild nights took their toll,his own fault but he was young and should have probably been sectioned in an asylum

            Fury was getting outboxed and was dropped against a cruiserweight. He arguably lost to McDermott and almost got stopped by a euro bum in Wallin.

            Dubois looked like **** against an out of shape Johnson who would've probably beaten him if he came to win.

            Whyte just got KO'd by a 40 year old past prime fighter.

            AJ was beaten down and stopped by an out of shape, unranked opponent.

            I think the heavyweight division is in a great place at the moment but we can easily do this if we pick the low points in most fighter's careers, it literally proves nothing.

              Well, that’s what the proponents of the 90s always do in their idiocy whilst being stuck in nostalgia.

              Razor Ruddock was made to quit by a guy with 26 losses but people act like boxers from the 90s who were allergic to defence were to invincible boxers and better than this era. It’s just laughable.

              An argument can even be made that Wilder is no different from Foreman of the 60s in his prime tbh.

              People need to learn how to respect eras. This is the golden generation of heavyweight boxers. The other two were the 60s and 90s.

                Prime Tyson doesn’t exist and Dubois has a chance of beating 80s Tyson by fight behind his jab. Douglas did just that and destroyed Tyson.

                Tyson is up there with Wilder as a one trick pony as most overrated ever.

                  I agree but you're doing the same thing by disrespecting previous eras. We can pick low points of any fighter in history but it's not really a great argument when we're comparing eras. In fact, it's a terrible argument.

                  Same as those who go off nostalgia and say 'yeah but so and so lost to this bum etc etc..' it proves nothing because we can go back and find a bad loss or a poor performance from a 'golden age' fighter the same way we can look at current fighters and point out their losses/bad performances.

                  Once all is said and done, I think this era will go down as one of the golden ages of the division but we'll have to wait and see if they all fight each other. Some are disrespectful while others (like myself) are waiting to see how it unfolds. The quality and competitiveness is there but I'm not willing to 'crown' it until the fights actually happen.

                  As for the Wilder/Forman comparisons, I see where you're coming from but Foreman was a gold medalist with wins against Norton and Fraiser before his fight with Ali. Wilder was a bronze medalist and his best wins were Stiverne and Ortiz, not exactly the same quality.

                    Probably right

                    Wardley looks good, considering he has no real amateur background, he is learning fast.

                    Dubois to me does seem a bit like Bruno. It’ll be interesting to see if he freezes up when he gets hurt and folds, like Bruno did. And AJ for that matter.
