    I'd point out the opposite but two of AJs biggest cheerleaders got banned recently, so the Fury threads aren't filled with quite as many screeching essays.

    To the topic at hand: if there was ever a man who deserved an upset it's big boy Dubios. Ain't happening though.

    Dubois is a sandwich short of a picnic. I find him completely without personality and only slightly likeable. Saying that Id love to see him KO AJ, who I find to be one of the most unlikable boxers on the planet and a complete fraud outside of boxing

    To be honest, AJ could come unstuck here. Boxing is a funny thing! Fury who is known for not getting up for lesser fights, gets dropped by a limited but big punching novice but still wins...AJ trains like a maniac and obviously KOs the same novice. He's still the same AJ but probably more vulnerable now as he will be thinking he's the bee's knees. Dubois will probably KO him.

    I see this fight ending with Dubois concussively knocked out. Johsua's worst moments came from the same person that made Dubois quit and a fat guy that he avenged 12-0.

    Joshua has carved out a niche as the legit 2nd or 3rd best HW out there.

    How so? Seems a little extreme.

    Simple people like Dubious without a facade who struggle to sell themselves and have a non existent personality because they are simple are likeable. It's about being genuine.

    It's simple people who pretend they are not simple like AJ who are not likeable. He also has a horrible bully mentality because he's so insecure.

    Everyone should root for Dubious...but the man with the better skillsets should win..but it could be overcome with grit mentality and pure balls. Especially against the bodybuilder.

    Dubious did a better job against Usyk than AJ. He handled Hurgovic who Hearn didn't really want AJ to fight excluding for a cheap fake belt.

    AJ deep down is scared to death of Daniel because the only thing that is protecting AJ right now is his built up mindset that he's a better operator when really he's not and one punch will bring him down to the earths mantel. This ain't a sparring partner with no power who he has 300 rounds with in Wallin. This ain't an MMA fighter. This ain't 45 year old Helenius.

    My response was pretty hyperbolic and over the top to be fair. Its not that I dont like Dubois and I really actually want to like him but I just find him to be really dull and boring, every time I watch an interview or interaction I zone out. I dont know what it is, I just cant warm up to him. I far prefer Dubois to AJ though, AJ just come across as completely fake

    Its not even, as @miniq suggests, that I prefer the self promoted, loud mouth, delusional arseholes that are at the other end of the spectrum to Dubois. I dislike them far more. Dubois just doent grab my interest or get me excited about his fights. You dont have to be exciting or extravagant. Frank Bruno is one of my all time favourite fighters despite the fact he was a pretty simple man with simple words and never the best. He was however interesting and his personality captivated me
