    With the whole controversial low blow… he fought better than Joshua and Fury against Usyk

    No. He got beat up in a one sided affair. Fury did much much better.

    Yes, just the dubious dubois knockown low blow controversy. Outside of that he didnt do better than say Chisora.

    No Dubois didn't win a single round and quit after a jab.

    Yeah, this was a silly question. Nothing stood out about that fight except the controversy which wasn't really a controversy. Breidis fought the best against Usyk............

    Fury has a rematch which EVERYONE will tune into because they know he's a live dog.

    I'm really amazed at comments made in this forum.

    One of them says Usyk should retire. The other says the one who fought best against Usyk was Dubois. The other says Fury was robbed.

    Interesting.

    I mean nothing about that fight was overly competitive, Usyk was in control the entire time except for a low blow which ballooned into a controversy

    Derek Chisora fought Usyk the best. The same Chisora who got slaughtered by David Haye 10 years before.

    Dubois turned up with a plan - foul, punch low a lot and hope to get away with it.

    He punched low a lot - as planned.

    He didn't get away with it.

    He wasn't competitive in a single round.


    It wasn't exactly a master strategy or masterful display - he knew he couldn't win clean, so he took a punt on getting a crap referee...
    The referee saw right through him and the fight wasn't remotely competitive.

    No. Fury fought a better fight than both AJ and Dubois.

    I know you are a super fan but surely you don't believe he can win.
