    You seem to really be harnessing the spirit of IMOJL in this one.

    I feel its too early to have an opinion on a lot of the Dubois hypotheticals. He could be the H2H best ever or he could be a footnote who lucked into becoming champion. We really have no idea.

    No idea, man. I've never contacted the staff about anything, and I'm sure that I'm not the best person to ask about why someone got banned, lol.

    I'd bet on Dubois because so many fan boys would lay heavily on Dempsey.

    I mean for all these difficult questions "whoever the underdog is" would typically be the best way to go.

    Dempsey too small to handle Dubois...

    I mean the questions are always difficult imo because I think time machine is a flawed concept.

    But if you get the very best version of Dempsey and ask him to train for and fight the very best version of Dubois, I'm confident Dempsey wins.

    Dempsey suffers savage star-fished shaped KO. Legalised battery.

    You could rush in swinging from the hip in those days. Different ball game now

    Spite of fanboys aside, would you still lay your bet on Daniel?

    I lay bets where the odds are good. The odds would be good because so many overestimate Dempsey's head to head abilities. So, yes.
