    Not if he tries to box. If he come out guns blazing it is 50/50. They both have power. First one to land a decent punch wins it. He comes out trying to be slick boxer, he gets KTFO again.

    Joshua landed 2 good shots right near the end and yes, he briefly rocked Dubois but Dubois kept his feet, remained calm and closed the show with a peach of a right hand.

    Dubois fought from start to finish like a guy who had no doubt he would win and it is Joshua who has the questionable chin.

    Big difference between going into a fight complacent and getting caught with a bomb whilst you are the dominant boxer.

    Compared to being beaten from pillar to post every minute of every round and stopped with your head face first in the canvas.

    No one in the right mind would be calling for a rematch when the first fight was so conclusive.

    Two fighters can both have bad chins, it isnt mutually exclusive. The fact is, Dubois has been knocked out twice and dropped five times. He gets hurt and buzzed in every fight he's in, even in a fight he absolutely dominated in. Getting stopped TWICE by jabs is not a good look.
    Like i wrote, the only way Joshua can beat Dubois is if he can land clean shots, but i dont think he can. And AGAIN, like i said, Joshua landed next to nothing, but when he finally did he had Dubois clearly hurt.
    Dubois is on a hot streak, but his lack of head movement and his chin are still very clear weaknesses for him that have not been improved on.

    No, the Rahman fight was a fluke. Even Lewis said in the post fight interview after the first fight, he would come back and knock out Rahman in the rematch. He did just that. Lewis obviously didn’t prepare and it cost him.

    The AJ fight is different because Joshua was prepared, he simply wasn’t good enough to beat Dubois. It won’t be any different in a rematch.

    Joshua is 35 and he is not going to get any better, and whatever he lacks will let him down again.

    Let's cut to the chase here. Dubois dominated Joshua and Joshua showed nothing to suggest it will be any different next time.

    You seem to have gotten yourself all flustered when I have offered a similar opinion to most others here. Take a deep breath kid. The sun will still come up tomorrow.

    He did try the guns blazing approach and failed. He lunged in with right hands and uppercuts. Boxing him with his jab approach is his only potential way to win. But he gets put away in the same fashion in the rematch most likely.

    I agree with this.

    I did always think Joshua looked beatable even when he was undefeated. Like someday he would have an off night and someone that he is supposed to beat puts in a spirited effort and causes the upset.

    Funny thing is Dubois is much the same. Actually it has already proven that Dubois is very beatable. And I don’t think that changed. It’s going to happen again sooner rather then later. I don’t see him going on a 5 year undefeated streak.

    Ofcourse Dubois is on a roll now and I would favor him in a rematch.

    But I don’t think Dubois is the future Heavyweight Kingpin once the other big 3 leave.
