Joyce winning was bad for boxing

Kid will be fine, he just shouldn`t be rushed, he should fight some guys like Ustinov, Rudenko, Wach..

Daniel Dubois reminded me of Mike Tyson a bit in the way he fights. Iam still quite surprised that he lost to be honest. Unlike Mike Tyson from what Ive read Dubois is committed to the fight game eg no drugs which Mike Tyson was doing when even when Cus D' Amato was still about .

I think DDD can still win a world title providing his eye isn't permanently fooked.

Joyce is old and nearly done, and no top HW's are gonna be keen on fighting him any time soon.

DDD is young, looks the part and could've gone on to have some massive fights against the likes of Fury/AJ or any of the upcoming HWs like Yoka & Hrgovic

Was the Joyce win bad for boxing?

Maybe from a fans standpoint but the best rise. Joyce probably won't get to fight AJ or Fury, and if he did, he would get beaten soundly. BUT the WBO could be vacated, seems likely now but I think its interesting fighting Usyk. So much has changed since the WBSS. Its also likely he fights guys like Povetkin, Whyte and so on.

Dubois would’ve probably got beat before he reached the top level anyway. Someone else would’ve probably done it if Joyce didn’t.

Never been convinced by Dubois and picked Joyce to beat him.

I feel for him as that was painful.

I hope he comes back as I genuinely like Dubois. Strikes me as humble, professional and brings excitement to boxing .

I thought Dubois did alright, all things considered, i don't think he disgraced himself with that performance.

Joyce just happens to be a beast, those rights hands DDD landed on him would've KO'd a lot of guys.

It’s good he takes a loss now at this stage, he knows what he has to do to improve and he has real world experience.
Same thing happened to David Haye early in, he got beat senseless by Carl Thompson, Haye went on to be more or less untouchable at cruiser and was a top heavy.

The HW division is bad now but it’s going to be awful in 5-10 years. I’m really hoping Tokyo 2020 produces a quality HW prospect.

[PRINCEKOOL]

A few comeback wins, and this fight will be forgotten about for Dubois.

He was not massively outclassed, and it was a competitive fight.

His injury could of been worst if he had carried on etc

I would say Dubois has decent potential, he is not a certain future world champion 'But he can for sure, comeback again'.

What makes for a better division? Greater competitiveness throughout or a top dog head and shoulders above the rest? Because if you ask me the current scene has a healthy mix of the two...
