    Usyk doesn't duck fights
    He has the greatest resume in boxing history

    My thoughts too.

    Plus he knows it's gonna be, early doors initially at least, a better and more determined version of Dubois.

    I agree. Better if Usyk faces Kabayel in May or June and then the winner of Parker-Dubois at the end of the year. That would be my wish, but probably doubtful that Usyk wants to fight again so soon. In that case the winner Parker-Dubois at the end of the year still and the winner Kabayel-Bakole/Ajagba next. If those happen and he wins both there's nothing left for him in the division and he should retire.

    The Kaybayel fight is a good fight. Hope it happens.

    Hard for me to pick a 2 time quitter against Usyk especially when Usyk made him quit in one of the losses.

    Dubois vs J-Park in a couple of months, both have had a full camp very recently, are fresh, and would likely be ready to go within a month

    The winner can fight Usyk

    Or

    Dubois vs AJ II

    Usyk vs J-Park

    E-Hearn wants AJ to rematch Dubois next

    If Dubois beats AJ again he can face the winner of Usyk vs J-Park

    If AJ beats Dubois let them do the rubber match after or defend against Kabayel

    Don't get this fight. The first one was so one sided that even if Dubois wins, it just means Usyk got old.

    Make Dubois V Parker ffs.

    I just rewatched the first fight. Dubois hit low several times including the controversial one. He even hit Usyk in the ass one time. However, Dubois landed some heavy shots. More than I remembered. It didn't matter. Usyk was battering his ass in the 8th and 9th and it was only going to get worse.

    For Dubois to beat Usyk, he has to attack him like he did Joshua and hope he catches him. He's not in Usyk's class skill wise, so he needs to get lucky. Dubois is a good heavyweight champion, but he's not beating Usyk unless Usyk aged a decade since the second Fury fight.

    This will be Usyk's seventh consecutive bout versus a British opponent (and third rematch against one), and eighth of his last nine. His entire heavyweight career has featured citizens of the UK, save for American fringe contender Chazz Witherspoon when Usyk debuted in the division.

    Is this a knock on Usyk? Because these were the best contenders at the time for him to face for the most part. Its not like hes ducking people. Its not Usyks fault the NBA exists.

    I am literally Usyk's biggest fan.

    It's a fact, an interesting trivia note.

    You need to calm the **** down and stop jumping at shadows.

    If Dubious wins I expect Usyk to retire in grace and take it as gods signal then Fury will fight Dubious and beat him on points quite easily end of year before retiring.

    Usyk wins I expect Usyk to retire in grace after realizing that he is in fact slowing. Fury waits for Dubious/Kabayel/Parker to sort through the belts between themselves at the end of year before making a comeback.

    AJ is a bum and has to place in this picture.
