If both are at their normal levels, isn't Dubios a lot better than Wardley?

    eh, AJ cracked him straight on a couple times and he didn’t go down. I think Dubois probably has a real good chin, it’s more about his mental state as to his reaction to being hit.

    Ben Davidson is Wardley's trainer? Ok, I'm confidently picking Dubois to win.

    I'm not a hater either, but his fighters seem to either tactically outlass or get schooled/take a battering

    What would you say is bad about Sugar Hill? I only know that he trained Fury and he’s done a good job with him.

    He's done an awful job with Fury. Trying to turn him into something he isn't

    Sometimes you can see some fighters having too many tough fights in succession where every fight becomes tough. Whether they are against tough opponents or fighting to the same level.
    I recall thinking J Taylor, J Degale and K Taylor were having alot of tough draining fights before losing big fights

    I wonder if both Dubois and Wardley are having alot of tough fights and may benefit from taking a few easier fights inbetween some bigger fights

    Sure, one fight out of how many though? That game plan isn't going to work on most of the top dogs.

    Never was even when champion

    For me the Wilder win considering it was in America, is one of the best British displays in the last 30 years

    Under Davidson he wouldn't imo have gone for the KO

    He fought Usyk twice. Trying to big man Usyk was shown not to have worked when Chisora and AJ tried it, so why the hell would Sugar still insist on it? Even his recent fight, Fury was in full control getting the rounds in and Sugar was again hyper fixated on a knockout. They're not a good match up.

    Nobody has sussed that puzzle
    Not really the best example

    The recent one you mention was a bit odd I'll admit that
