Dubois is still future world champ

[JakeTheBoxer]

OK...I got one question for you.....When has a PROSPECT lost a fight BY QUITTING or AT ALL and then come back to win a world title? Im talking PROSPECTS here so work with me...lol

Wladimir Klitschko lost to Purrity when he was 22.

[Fighter78]

And I'll add one more little nugget here.....there are LEVELS even when you're talking about PROSPECTS in boxing. If you put Daniel Dubois in with another prospect such as Top Ranks Jared Anderson....you are CLEARLY going to see the difference in talent level as you watch Dubois get battered and possibly quit again.

Wladimir Klitschko lost to Purrity when he was 22.

Ok...I'll bite....so are you telling me that Daniel Dubois is more talented than Wladimir Klitschko was at the same level?

[PRINCEKOOL]

I won't see it's a definite, but I'd throw money on him lifting a title off someone sooner or later. Time is on his side. Hopefully he takes this L as a learning experience & improves the things he can from now til his next big fight which probably should be a couple years away from now.

The issue I foresee is how does Warren keep his promotion moving with DDD working on his own trajectory while Warren is needed big fights.

There are also some positives to take from his performance.

Joyce did not bulldoze him over, and it was a competitive fight.

Dubois has proven that he has some good durability, never once was her deterred from coming forward 'He kept on trying until, the injury obviously was too bad' etc

[PredatorStyle]

Well the papers are backing him 100% lol. The Sun said he is out for 5 months with the bust bone and "bleed on the retina." Sounds nasty...

Looks like the damage control will prevail; Brook also defended him. He has, like, about 15 years left as a heavy weight so surely he can at least challenge a couple of times.

[leeroy84]

He has potential to pick up a belt later down the line and did the right thing against Joyce. Looks like a very nasty injury.
If Dubois comes back, improves and wins a title, he'll show the world he made the right decision to quit against Joyce.
I'm looking forward to seeing Dubois fight again.
Seems like people don't care about the actual sport of boxing and would prefer to see a dead body, those people should go start another sport with no rules, gloves, gumshield, ref and watch it go to the death... Hell, let's just have Suliemann decide if the victor lives too!
Darwinism at it's finest.. The gene pool will clense eventually.

[REDEEMER]

Hrgovic will defeat him, Joyce will still be around then you have Vlad Sirenko who reportedly dropped him bad in sparring who is a monster puncher so ?

[REDEEMER]

Wladimir Klitschko lost to Purrity when he was 22.

Wlad won every round however,Wlad only defeated Wlad in losses with the exception of the Sanders and AJ fights where those were true stoppages. He’s always had a very high punch out put . I would agree a sole loss isn’t much to go considering Joyce has not lost , DDD would knock most guys out but he has a uphill climb because he’s not the only sizeable puncher in the division. Future champion possibly but I think there’s better fighters coming up, Sirenko, Mahkmudov, Conto , Anderson are all going to be heading at the top as well ,it will be interesting.

[Satir]

nah, not it this era, maybe in 2030's, too many 28-35 y.o guys right now who are more skillful with ton of experience, he should try to go to the Tokyo Olympics first and see and learn fighting his future opponents

I agree, Dubois didn't disgrace himself at all against Joyce, and the latter is a tough fight for anyone.
