    Won't happen next, but I think this would be a phenomenal matchup. Kabayel really impressed me yesterday. Great work rate, body punching and a fantastic chin.

    Dubois himself has a great work rate, but also fast feet and a ramrod jab, unlike Zhang. And more power than Kabayel.

    I think I'd slightly favour Dubois to stop Kabayel, but it's too close to call. Can see either man breaking the other down.

    It'll depend on whether Kabayel can take Dubois' power and attacks, if he can I think he will work Dubois down with his body work eventually getting him out of there in the latter half of the fight.

    If Kabayel is not happy with Dubois' punches then I think he will struggle to get his usual game plan into action and eventually catch something that will be the beginning of the end.

    Either way another fight I would love to see, Kabayel is just so interesting I want to see how he fights every heavyweight.

    Dubois wins by KO but Kabayel is the next best after Dubois and Usyk. I know that Kabayel beats that hypejob Parker for sure.

    Kabayel has enough to starch Dubois. DDD is grossly overrated based on beating Miller, fouling the hell out of unmotivated Hrgovic (with suspect gas tank to begin with, and who struggled to put away the Itauma's knockout victim McKean) and Joshua, who, while a good win, has at best an okayish chin and has seen better days.

    Tough, dangerous fighter, but with an unsubstantial, limited style, questionable heart, and capable of being stopped (with a jab.)

    Miller-Hrgovic-AJ is a more impressive run than Makhmudov-Sanchez-Zhang IMO. Not discrediting Kabayel though.

    If Kabayel can take Zhangs power I dont think Dubois power is the deciding factor in this one. Zhang definitely hits harder than Dubois

    Kabayel is very dangerous and to me has actually got credibility unlike Itauma ATM. But Dubois has more to him than Zhang and especially Makmudov, I thought Dubois did well against a very tough Miller who (although not as good as Kabayel) is a game fighter with similar styles.

    Dubois will be able to land cleanly and early enough to stop Kabayel. I don't think Kabayel's effective tactics against Zhang will work against Dubois - he did get knocked down by Zhang too. Also, I think Dubois's jab will be a big problem for Kabayel - he has never faced someone with such a powerful if not the most technical jab - that jab will be consistently bashing into Kabayel's face.

    Dubois early to mid KO for me but he needs to have a good start and basically get there first which I think he will.

    Dubois would smoke Kabayel.

    Agit beats both Parker and Dubois. Parker and Dubois don't like pressure. We know Parker from Joyce, Dubois from Usyk and Joyce. Agit is a much better version of Joyce. fast, pressure, good chin, ring IQ, power punches.
