    Mike Tysons opponents pre-prison had better fundamentals than most of the fighters today.
    Dubois is not beating
    Tucker,Ruddock,Old Man Holmes

    I think Tucker's height and chin might have been too much for Dubois and Douglas might have out-jabbed him.

    Tubbs hand speed might have been too much for Dubois, and Ruddock might have had too much power.

    I concur. He may not get past Thomas or Douglas either.

    Dubois could fall at the first hurdle vs Berbick unless he got him out of there early. Because if Berbick is allowed to get into the fight then it would be a very rough night for Dubois who can wilt under pressure.

    If Dubois did get past Berbick then he would have to fight Bonecrusher next who was a crude slugger yes. But he had power and was durable and I'm not sure Dubois could win a brawl vs Bonecrusher.

    Realistically Dubois doesn't get anywhere near to achieving Tyson's 10 world title wins in the 80s.
