    Inoue has a beautiful jab, to head and body
    inoue just has a beautiful punch arsenal in general

    Dubois. It's a power punch for goodness sake. Accurate, hurtful and deceptively quick.

    Not sure.on that tbh. He steps.in.well.with it
    But not as good throwing without a step or going back. Also not the sharpest either. But powerful yes when he steps in with the jab.

    Everyone high on Dubois jab but Usyk took it away from him and he will drop it when he tires. The best jabber would outjab a good jabber, Fury would get past and outjab Dubious easily. Hurgovic chose his right hand instead because it was so available. AJ is just overrated in all regards and has never used his jab properly because he's a bum dosser. I said Dubious would beat AJ to the jab and surprise people, many whom said AJ's jab is better and establish it over Dubby.

    Joyce jabbed Dubious head off don't forget and that was the majority of his gameplan in that bout perfectly executed. Stick him in with Zhang throwing counter lefts and see how long it lasts.

    Bivol, Inoue, Fury (who has shot elbows but still does his best), Usyk (When he isn't having to get past Fury's 500 inch reach and massive willy)

    Duboius is a different fighter than the one who lost to Joyce. His improvement had been exponential over past four fights.

    Yes because he's been in the grind but stick him in with the top class and it will fall apart. Usyk & Fury are on their deaths door luckily for Dubious but old man Zhang & even Bakole could easily chin him even the bodybuilder has a fair punchers chance in the rematch.

    Kinda like AJ's improvements were so great after Usyk and before he ran into Dubois. Fighters don't really change that much most of the time. They're just matched up against the right styles or against aging fighters.

    Interesting. I think Fury is all wrong for him, but all of Fury's bad living might catch up with him on one night, and getting tired in a ring with Dubois is a bad spot to take a breather. I'd like to see him fight Usyk again, and I genuinely think Zhang certainly, Bakole maybe, are hyped beyond belief. I'd take Dan to box smart against Zhang, stay out of trouble and use his engine to pull away, winning a clear decision. Bakole I'm not so sure about because he also has a good engine and he is unorthodox.

    And, to be clear, I'm no bandwagon jumper. I've followed Dubois since his TV debut and long thought he had huge potential. I picked Joyce to beat him at that point in his career cos style make fights and Joe was wrong for him every day of the week and twice on a Sunday back then. But Dubois has done what so many fighters don't. He has learnt more from every loss than he did in his wins. And he's a better fighter for it. I'd have put him in against any version of AJ, kid was never gonna lose. Why? Styles/fights. Big guy, big engine, good chin, huge power, doesn't intimidate. My opinion says he'd have kod AJ before the Usyk fights. He's a much better boxer than many give him credit for, good feet, solid basics, doesn't waste punches or energy. If he keeps getting better, the division is on notice...

    The best jab is abit of a deceiving metric, Dubois has a great penetrating jab, but it wasn't effective at all once Joyce internalized its timing and began to bludgeon Dubois with his own, great jab. The same Joyce had his jab completely taken away from him by Zhang who completely nullified Joyce's jab with Chinese mantis-style hand fencing, hypnotized him proper into 2 brutal KOs, Zhangs lead hand did.
