    How do these fights play out. Dubois is a huge guy with power and basic skills so he has a chance here

    I think Ruddock was a bit overrated by some, I could see Dubois sparking him out in the mid rounds.

    Ron Lyle sleeps Dubois early. Too tough and vicious, Dubois wouldn't have the heart to last with Lyle.

    Dubois would be able to consistently bash Tua's face with his jab and gain a lead but really one of those fights where hell could break loose. On the fence for this one, but I'm just not sure if Dubois is resilient enough to last with Tua if he gets knocked down.

    Ruddock could go either way depending which version of Ruddock shows up

    Lyle I'm not sure

    Tua KOs him, Dubois isn't exactly the best at defense.

    Lyle and Tua destroy Dubois, Ruddock was terrifyingly chinny so that one could go either way.

    DuBois wouldn’t get the chance to give up against Tua….

    Note: I’m actually not against fighters giving up if they feel compelled to do so - no reason to suffer additional brain damage in a losing battle.. Honestly, each time DuBois has done this, it basically seemed like the right move…. With that said - Tua would send him to the nether realms.

    He fought miller who was 100 pounds heavier and went toe to toe and clinched too. That takes a lot of heart. You should try fighting someone that is 100 heavier, who knows how to fight. It's hard.

    Even 50 pound difference is very noticeable.

    How was Ruddock chinny ? He went 12 rounds with a good version of Tyson with a broken jaw.

    And he's one of the few fighters that didn't try and outbox Tyson he stood right infront of him and tried to outslug him.

    Miller isn't anyhere near Tua, Lyle, even Ruddocks level.

    Tua, Lyle, and Ruddock would all hospitalise Miller.

    I think he does them all. Ruddock early, a bit like the Lewis fight...or the AJ one for that matter. Lyle for me is overrated for losing to a pretty poor version of Big George and I think he puts Tua into his shell with that booming jab. Tua doesn't have the skill of Usyk who took that away from him early.

    He sparks Ruddock and Lyle and wins on points V Tua who is also somewhat overrated

    Ruddock beats him by mid rounds KO
    Lyle can either batter him to a decision or also, mid round KO
    Tua by late round KO while trailing on the scorecards
