The Dubois that faced Joshua could give Usyk serious problems

Rollin · Mar 3, 2025

Parker and Kabayel should have been his last bouts.

A full of confidence Dubois against Usyk only accelerates his own demise.

If Dubois bum rushes Usyk like he did Joshua he could do something in the first few rounds.

I would rather see Usyk-Dubois II then Usyk-Parker. Dubois is a much more confident fighter. We know Usyk would win an easy decision against Parker. Usyk is the better boxer, won't get into a firefight with Parker (would probably win that type of fight anyway) but Usyk versus a more confident Dubois is more interesting fight.

It really isn't. Usyk demoralizes Dubois again and stops him again. Guys that lose a first fight by KO, usually lose the 2nd fight by KO, or they lose an extremely lopsided decision trying to avoid being KO'd.

Size difference is pretty big, as is the age difference and the roid difference.
Usyk a bit overconfident these days.
Basically lining up his retirement fight (which he expects to win) after the Dubious or Parker fight.
Dangerous thinking really.
You're 38. And you're undersized against all of these characters.
Needs an intervention soon.

As much as Dubious is an idiot, a dirty quitter and a protected brand, he's a dangerous opponent because he's game and can punch.

How can he be game AND a quitter..

I can see this argument. You aren't outboxing Usyk, and he's only looked uncomfortable when under sustained pressure. AJ had him worried in fight two for a round or so, 8th maybe, can't remember, and Fury similarly in their first fight. Old Del roughhoused him and ironically that is the least comfortable he's looked in an admittedly early fight at the weight. I do wonder if he will finally be beaten, and beaten up by a lesser boxer and father time. Dubois now applys educated pressure and has always had good feet. He controls space well and cuts off the ring well if he can back his opponent up. And he hits hard. Consistently. I'd take Usyk to box his ears off ten times out of ten. But in a pressure type fight, banged to the head and body, hit with elbows and head, constant heavy handed pressure at his age? Dan can't outbox him. But I wonder if he can run him over. Hard to outbox a truck, and hard to get out of its way if you don't have the same powers of observation or speed as you used too...

All of the above is an unlikely scenario I grant you, but I think Dubois has the biggest chance of beating Usyk out of all the 'contenders', and whilst it's implausible, it's not impossible...

Totally agree, 38 year old boxers are not as adept at holding off pressure fighters as they once were. Plus I believe Dubois is fighting with a renewed confidence, especially after the way he went after Joshua like he stole his lunch money.

That knockdown was legit, I'm not letting you worshippers brain wash me no more

Dubois already knocked him out hitting him on his belly button. Although usyk is better, daniel proved he could knock him out

In my eyes daniel beat him and it's my opinion
Let's see if usyk can do it without the cards stacked on his deck this time

Back to trolling I see.

It wasn't a legit knockdown

But if Dubois could hunt the body (or feign there) and go for the head Usyk could be in serious trouble. Dubois is the only fighter RN that could have Usyk in serious trouble. You could say Kabayel but I think Dubois is a better version of him.

Well, boxing rules are kinda important when it comes to details, lol. Otherwise, you just live in alternate reality where Dubois somehow knocked Usyk out.

Why blatantly assume Usyk doesnt beat a count if he sees the ref counting. He obviously saw it wasnt considered a knockdown, so took more time than had a ref been counting.

It was a knockdown at best, but just assuming Usyk doesnt force himself to actually beat a count and calling it a win off that assumption for a guy that was completely outclassed and literally made to quit... ?

I disagree

Dubois will be affected by all the talk that he "Ducked" Parker

It will affect his confidence and overshadow him vs. Usyk

Usyk by TKO once again

Yep, exactly. Also people seem to want to leave out the part about how Usyk COMPLETELY boxed dubois little brain loose for 98% of that fight. Lol! It’s not like dubois became Tyson Fury in the skills department in the last two years. lol And Usyk REALLY started to crack dubois once he got a little pissed off and hit another gear. That jab that ended the fight had some real venom in it

We’ll say that Usyk again if they fight because I have no doubt that dubois will try the dirty tactics again.

Dubois owes Parker a fight and he shouldn't skip that fight, he'd be a **** if he doesn't fight Parker
