Daniel is a dog in this fight.
You gotta be a complete mug to dismiss this.
It beggars belief

Guess i'm a mug , i'm certainly not a AJ nut hugger , he has power , but not superman power , he's a bit stiff a bit ponderous , does'nt get a 10 out of 10 for anything , however i just think DD will dog it when its really put on him , basing that on him doing it before and AJ will just be too smart for him , DD has to be the dumbest fighter out there his lack of knowing what to do is unbelievable , i'm racking my brains trying to figure out how he's got so far , and can only come up with , Youth , fitness , strenght , bit of determination and a reasonable punch , throw that in with lack of talent in the division and he's done allright , but AJ , Ruiz , Fury , Usyk , all really school him

AJ looks great when nothing coming back but can be tentative when punches are flying in his direction and when he does get caught his gas tank can be empty really quick.

DDD showed he is open to that long right, but also showed a great jab, throws more shots that most other heavyweights and has shown great resilience in his last two fights.

AJ could drop him and finish him with a big right but DDD could also have a tired AJ staggering around the ring like Bambi after the 6th round.

AJ the favourite but both have their flaws which the other could exploit.

I think this is a terrible fight for DDD right now.

I’d keep him ticking along in low risk fights for the next year or so.

AJ is going to tee off on him and put his lights out.

Defensivly cute , Just can't see thiat happening , alls i have a vison of is , Aj , who does carry a decent jab , coming out , doubling a jab up and launching that big right hand , after he's rattled his brain a couple of times , , someone may tell DD he is allowed to move away from the right hand , he'll put that dumb look on his face and say ok then , after which he will move into a left hook, get the other side of his brain rattled , so he'll decide i know i'll lift my hands up and protect my head , then get hit with a left rip , go down and once again say stuff that . Take a knee , look all gormless at the ref , get counted out , and then say , he missed the count

I see AJ winning early

I was impressed by Dubois' feel for distance against Gorman, where he moved in and out of range subtly to slip and counter. Stay close too long and he's really good, but we've since found out his slow feet aren't suited to movers.

I think AJ beats him if he's happy to do so on the backfoot.

Think if AJ can out footwork , Ruiz , he can certainly out do DD big difference with Gorman and the top 3 or 4

He managed to out footwork a morbidly obese Ruiz in the rematch. A lighter Ruiz battered him.

Has much has it pains me , I'll pay you that one , But then again a slim down dedicated and motivated Ruiz stops Fury quicker

Yeah, I think the Ruiz-rematch version wins with superior fluidity; bit more WD40 on him. My only doubt is whether his rep-renewing knockouts might tempt him into overplaying his offence again. Just like the first Ruiz fight.

I see it as AJ's to lose in other words. Could happen though - it's not like Dubois isn't dangerous. I rate him above Whyte for example.

me too re DDD > Whyte. Also far more likeable and not a massive repeated PED abuser.

three potential opponents

Zhilei Zhang
Daniel Dubois
Joseph Parker

Hope it's not Parker II. We've seen it before and don't see it being too different, Joshua would still be wide favourite I think. Parker should face Kabayel if anyone and then get the shot at the unified champ.

Joshua vs Zhang is obviously fireworks. High risk, high reward in terms of respect from rival fans.

Joshua vs Dubois is a big British fight which sells well. Joshua the clear favourite there though.

What a card this would be. Also seen rumours of Josh Kelly vs Liam Smith

f@cking sweet indeed, the great thing is because of his excellency a card like that is actually believable these days


inoue vs mj

Bloody amazing if that happens, we all wins, one of the best cards ever and the fighters will be on the big bucks.

This would be the best top to bottom card I have seen I think.

Every fight is very very good and would absolutly be main event worthy at the 02…

Turki branching out to UK and USA.

You can't turn the money for a Saudi fight

This list was put to Hearn and they only one he outright said wasnt happening was Inoue. I think the offiical line up is announced on the 26th this month.

well f@ck, no inoue-mj?

With a louder audience, DDD might not hear Don Charles shouting "Keep your hands up Daniel". I'm no expert, but I would have thought keeping your hands up is a basic thing.
