Wasn't impressed with either of them , Joyce would struggle to knock the skin off a rice pudding and Dubois seemed to be really stiff and was blowing from about the third round. To be fair to Dubois he is a baby in heavyweight terms and although it goes sgainst the warrior code it may be a wise move to quit if his eye is in bad shape , we've seen what happened to Kell Brook.

Usyk won't bother with him surely, not unless he is shut out of Joshua or Fury

[Bjornebye]

"I'm ready for Usyk"

 

Yeah mate I'm ready for 1993 Liz Hurley and 1998 Cameron Diaz to take turns sitting on my face. 

[Lee909]

Dubois will go and knock out a few more cab drivers and eastern european binmen and they'll put him in with someone who can jab and he will get twatted again

Tyson never reacted well to someone standing in front of him. 

He just didn't fight any that where good enough, had he fought Holyfield when he should Evander would have broken him like he did later on. Buster Douglas broke him, you can see the fight going out of him

Tyson at least fought until he got knocked the fuck out against Buster. He didn't quit on his knee.

Not denying that

He was willing to get knocked out but there was a few times in his career in his biggest fights he melted

Let me know when you've started with them and I'll start boiling an egg. It should be ready by the time you've finished. 

[A Red]

To be fair to Dubois, we dont know what pains were shooting through his head, better to quit on his knee than be blind in one eye, he actually could be.

 

Having said that, neither will be top tier heavy weights

I don't agree. 

 

He has no top level amateur experience and it was his first time in against someone who wouldn't bend. He is going to get massacred over this for the next 6 months and won't be willing to repeat quit again. Only 23, I think he comes back.

That’s a fairer reflection on it. If he has the character to come through what you’re correctly predicting he will, that will be the determining factor. Still a long shot now though.

Agree with Kevin D 100%.

[John102]

To be fair to the juggernaut (fully on board the hype train now), he is 35. Of course he gonna be calling out the big names. His stock will probably never be higher than after this fight. Wants the money and big fights, not to waste his time on tomato cans like Dubois...

[Special K]

Fucking hell, he got his eye jabbed off for 10 rounds then got smashed in the face by 6' 6" brick shithouse. I'd have quit too.

I also disagree about Joyce's ceiling. 

 

He has a lot of limitations, but he fought disciplined tonight out of respect to Dubois's freakish power. Against 99% of heavyweights, he will simply put it on them and keep marching forward for 12 rounds. He is a rough, rough night for anyone, even if they end up beating him. 

 

In the build up to this, he said he was tested and his bone density is 7x that of a normal person.

Meaning...? He can take a good walloping?

He's 35 mate. Name a top 5 ranked hw that isn't walking through him

Basically, yes. 

 

There are not a lot of Pernell Whittaker's and Floyd Mayweather's at heavyweight. Fury would beat him cleanly. Usyk probably would. But he's a gigantic human being who has an iron chin and middleweight stamina, he will outlast anyone who gets in the ring with him.

Who are the top 5 heavyweights?

 

Fury beats him. 70/30 Usyk does too. I would like to see how Joshua looks against Pulev, because the book is now out on him that if you can stand up to his firepower he has a real problem. He would beat Wilder and Povetkin, in my opinion.

Fucking hell.

Bloke who got twatted for 8 rounds by Badou Jack just got given a Muttley medal. This isn't a great PPV.
