    Had Parker beating Dubois and the Wardley fight doesn't change that opinion.

    Would Dubois have been able to withstand what Wardley did? I think not.

    Wardley took some big shots off of Parker that would've troubled Dubois alot more than it did Wardley.

    Wardley has a better chin and more heart than Dubois. I don't think Dubois could've withstood what Wardley took tonight and comeback and won.

    I think Parker would've beat Dubois personally.

    Parker actually looked really good, but like I've been saying, Wardley has freakish athleticism for his size. Not only does he have an iron chin and took some huge shots from Parker in round 10 but his reflexes allow him to take the sting out of punches and he excels in dogfights


    Wardley would beat Dubois

    I always thought Dubious would KO Parker.
    I think Parker should still fight him and let's see.
    Dubious can always lose because he's a quitter, so you can never rule out a quit from him or getting KO'd from a jab.

    How it always would’ve gone and how I had always picked: Dubois by stoppage

    Parker by stoppage. There's a reason why Dubios swerved that fight.

    Which is funny because I think Dubios would beat Wardley lol

    I think Dubois has better basics especially jab than Wardley, and have similar levels of power.

    I said Dubois in February before their cancelled fight, and I’d probably back that still.

    Parker looked good but it's a heavyweight division, he couldn't handle himself against a strong man opposite him, I think Dubois, even though he was more skilled than Wardley, wouldn't have beaten Parker, Parker would have made him give up at some point...

    Dubois, Parker ain’t the type of guy he falls apart against, he’d win the shoot-out, probably even easier than Wardley did.
