    Foreman is being hyped as usual. He beat one top ten guy in his comeback while basically getting beaten up and didn’t really fight a big, young guy with power until Briggs, who obviously had crappy stamina.

    Dubois is genuine top ten material and basically a supersized Stewart. He’d win if he fought behind a jab. His success would keep him going like it did against Big Baby and Hrgovic. He quit against Usyk because he got outclassed and Joyce because his orbit got smashed. Foreman breathed hope into guys like Morrison and Stewart who were vulnerable.

    Lmao "three quit jobs" and it's getting his eye broken by Joyce and fighting with Usyk twice. Sure bud.

    Let me go a little further................mental Midget Dubois would be absolutely rail roaded by prime Tyson, Lewis and Bowe, legitmate Manslaughter, he would not have time to quit because he would be down for the 100 count..................as far as slow as Molasses fight novice Joyce is concerned he would meet the same fate.Fact.

    So would Old Foreman g. Except Dubois would literally take Morrison’s life away. But keep bringing up a fight that happened five years ago to feel better, I guess Vitali is also a quitter. Billy Joe Saunders is also a quitter. Hell FOREMAN HIMSELF is also a quitter against Ali and Young.

    PS: Neither of those 3 are making him quit, they’d just beat him.

    Foreman lost a decision to Young, a case can be made for a no mas in the Ali fight but at least he gave everything he had.

    VK quit/lost vs the two best fighters he faced.Fact. TKO6 aint a win.

    Foreman was never stopped in his comeback while I concede he cherry picked his opponents like Morrison and Moorer who were chinny.

    Dubois is chinny , lacks heart ,self believe and Ring IQ. He went as far as he could go with his limted tool set. he is the definition of a 80's beltholder besides Holmes and Tyson .

    Boxin g is 80% mental and 20% physical....................Dubois will never get the mental part.

    Yeah so did Dubois.

    What did I even expect?

    He was out on his feet counting stars from a single right-hand counter of Holyfield. I'm dead serious, Usyk would probably TKO him.

    Nope. Chinny and heartless fighters don't keep fighting after getting KD'd 3 times by Lerena, win a slugfest after eating literal bombs to the face by a 333 lbs roid-head Miller and stop Hrgovic after eating right hands to the face at will in the early rounds. Dubois would knock tf out of 80s title holders, and him getting outclassed and beaten up in the ring don't make him a quitter. You can't fight through a broken eye socket. You can't fight through somebody outlanding you 2x, outpacing the hell out of you and landing clean combos to your face every round. This isn't a comic book.

    He has the mental part just fine when he isn't an inexperienced 23 year old kid with a broken eye socket or up against the most skilled HW of all time.

    Not surprisingly, you’ve skipped the part about fighters with confidence issues doing well against Old George.

    Morrison, Savarese, Briggs, and Stewart weren’t exactly the poster boys for confidence.

    Moorer even got overconfident against Foreman.

    You would get murdered by Tyson and Holmes.................. your so called 80's belt holders.

    Glass heart. Glass chin.Glass will.

    Great comeback, I don't even like Dubois, I picked Usyk to win, y'all just DKSAB. Im honestly appalled, this is supposed to be a boxing site, how are y'all so ill-informed????

    Whats your argument here ? Dubois flat out sucks at the elite level and for your list above none of them quit when the going got rough,Dubois folded like a lawn chair three times now......................he is the ONLY Heavy stopped by average hitting Usyk.

    I’m pretty sure Usyk doesn’t need Dubois to prove he could crack at heavyweight, but you knew that already.

    Foreman wasn’t elite level. He was Stewart/Morrison level and Dubois is in his comfort zone there.

    Did you miss the part when Holyfield landed about 17 unanswered flush shots after that right hand conter? Foreman didn’t go down, was barely staggered and stood in his corner between rounds and was fully recovered in seconds. It was an awesome display of chin. DDD would’ve been out/quit after receiving 1/4 of that punishment.

    Usyk isn’t stopping old Foreman if Holyfield couldn’t come close.

    This isn't even a fight. A fragile Dubois has no answers for Foreman '91 and gets crumpled like a napkin at a barbecue.

    Yet Dubois has better wins than comeback George somehow and his losses are to better fighters.

    Losing to Usyk is not the same as losing to Morrison and Schultz

    And a win over Joshua trumps a win over Moorer at least in my book
