Daniel Dubois vs Mike Tysons opposition pre prison

He has the power to hurt some of those guys so knocking out a few of them isn’t out of the question. I just wouldn’t make him a very heavy favorite against most.

 

Dubois is a **** stain so probably doesn't perform very well.

 

Tillis and Ribalta are gonna give Dublis all he can handle

Berbick has a real chance to make Dubois uncomfortable and beat him

Pinklon is beating him

Tucker is beating him

Holmes is beating him

Tubbs and Bruno both have a good chance

Tokyo Douglas is flat out KOing Dubios

2 fights against Ruddock isnt going to be a walk in the park either. Who are the big power punchers Dubois has beaten?

So....a mixed bag.

 

Dubois has already pummeled AJ and none of the names you mentioned there are as big or powerful as AJ. AJ would KO all of them within a few rounds.

Holmes and Tucker would be the biggest tests for Dubois, but Snipes, Shavers and Tyson (three guys smaller than Dubois) proved that Holmes could be seriously hurt or knocked out.

 

Wilder almost decapitated Fury while weighing 212 1/2. Does the different era make any difference? Are those modern 2 1/2 pounds different?

Quarry ko'ing Shavers has less than zero relevance to how hard Shavers hit. Does getting struck out mean Giancarlo Stanton doesn't hit hard?

 

Wilder was about 7 inches taller

 

He mentioned weight only. Does being taller make one a bigger puncher?

 

Range and height can make s difference. Quarry was a bulked up cruiserweight, so Shavers probably didn't carry the same power as Wilder or Dubois.

 

But then again, Lerena had Dubois in trouble in their fight, so anything's possible (I guess).

 

Shavers being 210 lbs and Wilder being 210 lbs is not the same thing though, Wilder was light at the weight, Shavers was almost pudgy.

 

They can, but it's certainly not across the board, to say the least. Did Tucker, Williams and co hit harder than Tyson? Jimmy Paul than Rosario? The examples are virtually unlimited. We also have extremely tall guys (for their division) like Panama Al Brown who hit average at best.

I'm still not sure how Quarry stopping Shavers reflects on Shavers power? Shavers was hardly a skilled durable fighter.

 

210 pounds is 210 pounds. It's not like Shavers was James Toney. Tall guys invariably look like they are carrying weight well. Hearns looked great even at 175 and he was once a welter, performing at an ATG level. Shavers was heavy set and muscular. Mike Tyson looked pudgy at heavyweight but I'd say he was just fine at the weights he fought at. Same with Frazier and the likes.

 

Dubois has impressive punching credentials, arguably better than Shavers himself
first to stop Lerena
first to stop Hrgovic
first to stop Miller
stopped Joshua quicker than anyone else

 

He PUMMELED AJ... One of the worst boxing beatdowns I've seen.

Even though the stoppage in the Lerena fight was a bit sketchy, it was frightening seeing Dubois load up on Lerena against the ropes. That last uppercut looked like it was about to decapitate Lerena.

Lerena is a good fighter, but he's not world class. He got caught for using clomiphene, so he's obviously on a juicy vitamin cocktail.

 

In my opinion Mike in his prime would have been a tough opponent for all the best heavyweights of all time (though clearly he could have won against some and not against others, it would also have been a question of style). His aggression, his inside ability, his technique, speed, and power would have been too much for Dubois. I'd say Tyson by knockout before the sixth round (I'm obviously not talking about the Tyson who fought Douglas).
