    Yes, Dubois is a very dirty fighter and by his own admission - he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.

    We can all see it and call it out clear as day as and when but by god does he get away with it, time and again. It simply isn’t right.

    Fair to say that Parker has to get his fight plan more right than Dubois does - Joseph walking more of a tight rope?

    I’m not sure on the exact rating of Dubois’ chin.

    He seems to take shots better when he’s more committed and 100% focused on winning.

    So, his chin hasn’t been only limited by pure, inalterable physiology but also by his previous weaker, mental resilience.

    He did appear to kind of surrender against Usyk but his last few fights seem to have reflected a shift in his attitude, greater resolve to cop some and learning better how to cope with incoming artillery.

    He was actually quite shaken up by Joshua just before lowering the boom on Anthony himself.

    avoid headbutts and other dirty tactics. hit him enough to make him want to quit again.

    I note that Dubois is downplaying Parker as a "lesser danger than AJ"

    Bwuhahahahaha!!

    Keep it up, young Daniel. Keep it up.

    The other side of this is in his last fight turns out dubious was very dangerous when he was hurt and prob threw the best punch of his career when hurt

    There will be no controversy on fight night - Parker gets KTFO.

    I think people overplay this. Dubois' engine is fine, and he carries his power. Parker himself may be more vulnerable to a KO later. See Joyce fight for reference. Lots of time for Joe P but I suspect he's getting battered here...

    Power won't mean much if he doesn't land the shots.
