    He's also semi.. you know.. not the sharpest tool in the shed, to put it more PC.

    I think its totally the opposite ,he has the skills ,the size ,and the punch,but lacks the heart! That's why Im picking Wardley .who doesn't have his skills to stop him.

    I was gonna say, he definitely had it the opposite way. Dubois has skills, size, and heart but has a tendency to fold when things aren’t going his way.

    I don’t see any skill with Dubois. Beautiful power in his right but he drops it every time he throws it. He has poor head movement poor jab no feints no left. No stamina not good fighting inside. Your Wardley pick is probably good both are inconsistent at times.

    He usually folds when he runs out of gas. Heart may have been the wrong word but he is willing to walk through some punches to land

    Many don't like his skin tone.

    Rocky would get stopped by Dubois, 6'5 and 250 pounds with heavy hands vs 5'10 185 pound slow starting Rocky.
    Plus much of Rockys wearing down of opponents was caused by him using non legit methods, i cannot see those working with a behemoth like Dubois.
    Now if someone could take Rockys indomitable will to win, and put it into the mindset of Dubois, now that would make a fine hybrid.

    The average Classic user is a 40+ year old white male Brit. But people here criticise Rocky specifically and no other white boxer because they don't like the fact he's white?

    You think that's the most logical and likely explanation?

    Dubois proved me wrong he has a big heart,and showed it.
    He also has good footwork ,and a good left jab .

    Tale of the tape

    6'5 250lb 78 inch reach

    vs

    5'11 190lb 69 inch reach

    Both pressure fighters with great stamina that will face each other in the middle of the ring and exchange blows.
