Seen as theres so much heavyweight talk at the moment. What's everyone's gut instinct on this fella? Looks pretty good so far it will be interesting to see how he's matched next year.

Lets see if he can take a shot on that Ninja Turtle head of his.

Too early to properly tell

Looks the part, but look at the opposition..

Tom little beats him

Most people on here had Larry Olubamiwo as potential world champ.

David Price is another one.

True. Like most people around when I live I was well on the Price hype train haha. Dubois looks to have a better style better than Pricey though. Pricey always looked like he was pawing at his opponents until he landed a big right

Dubois does look smooth in terms of technique. I would say hes shown better technical skill than anyone at british level. He even looks better than joshua for me. Whether he has the toughness, ring IQ and discipline are the questions but the raw material is certainly there

Yeah he looks composed with good power. I hope he's matched well an fights often next year. I saw Warren is already talking of a fight with Joyce possibly for the British

He's shown power at the level he's competed at thus far, but the ultimate question awaiting each Heavyweight Prospect (hell every Boxing prospect for that matter, but Heavyweights especially) is how does he take a punch?

We won't know the answer to that until the level of competition raises.

Looks too good to be true, reckon he’ll get flattened when he finally faces a puncher.

Hope we get some of these brits fighting next year. Gorman, Dubois, Allen, Sexton, Joyce could all get in the mix for some good year domestically.

Way too soon to tell. Let the kid develop against opponents that have very little ambition just now Let him feel his way into the pro game. He looks very good at the moment and he should. I think its about a year too soon for this thread because he wont be seriously testef till late 2018 at the earliest

Dubois beats Joyce in about two fights time. Joyce always looks so laboured, obviously more experienced but doesn't have the raw power and energy of DDD

Yeah I think he would beat him now but then I forget he's only 20 no point in rushing him too quick

Im not going back through the forum but I remember being shocked by the hype. This was around the time he was training with Roach.

Daniel is driving tonight on a plane- I can see the red taillights heading for Spain.

He say's Spain is pretty- I've never been. Daniel says it's the best place he's ever been. He should know he's been there enough. I miss Daniel- I miss him so much.

Nobody here had Larry as a potential world champ.

About 50% of the British forum had Price as a potential world champ.

Dubois would knock Tom Little out within 6 minutes, easy. In fact, beyond easy.

Who's Tom Little ever stopped? I remember Dorian Darch laughing at his 'power' and calling him a feather puncher.

He's not very good at all. Dubois knocks him out within 2 rounds

I'd like to see him fight, he got very fast hands, I just haven't seen his chin really being checked.

If he's not facing someone semi-durable in his next bout, then Frank needs a slap. I wanna see what he's like when he's throwing the jab out.

He’s got a nice jab. I’d also like to see him use the jab rather than go for the highlight reel

I'd love to see dubois fight Hughie fury. An explosive win there would be a good shortcut to world level.
