Hardly anyone cared about it the first time. While Dubois has done better since the first fight, I still don't think he beats Usyk.
No, not really. Even tho it's possible a fully grown hulk of a young man can come back from a 'on his knees loss when the going gets tough he simply quits' ( yes, he did!) to one fighter. But then goes on to smash another fighter, in AJ , in magnificent fashion. Doesn't really justify a re-match. With said 'dominant winning fighter' he lossed his arse too. But if the money's right....
If he beats Parker, that’s 3 top 8 heavyweight wins in a row against Hrgovic, Joshua and Parker, so yes sure, why not?
^This^ If DDD beats Parker it’s definitely a fight that needs to be done again. On the other hand, if Parker beats DDD, that will be the fight that needs to be made. DDD vs Parker is a very interesting fight.
DD vs Parker is being overshadowed somewhat, it is a great fight in its own right. Both worthy competitors. Either Daniel or Parker can win, both on an absolute tear at the moment. After this then either have earned their (re)match with Usyk. Usyk vs Parker.... We haven't seen that fight yet so that would be my preference
I absolutely want to see it again. The fight would, once again, unify the heavyweight belts. Despite his possible knockdown of Usyk, Dubois solidly lost the first fight and Usyk should be favored but there is a lot at stake and I am all for the fight.
100% And he absolutely pulverized AJ, which nobody saw coming. If that same ferociousness comes out in a rematch vs Usyk, we'd all be in for one hell of a show!
No. Been there, done that. Usyk should fight someone else. The winner of Zhang-Kabayel would be better, or even Deontay Wilder, since he was one of the three belt holders for a long time and Usyk, who turns 38 this month, deserves an easier one.
Wilder has lost 4 of his last 5 and showed zero signs of life against Parker and Zhang. The Fury trilogy took everything out of him, and he's 39 years old. There's no comeback potential. He doesn't even belong in the conversation. Yeah, he had a good run, but it's over.
Much, much, much rather have Parker, or even the winner of Zhang-Kabeyel. But I'll take a Dubois rematch over Bakole, who I don't think is anything more than a big, hard-hitting offensive machine that swings at what is right in front of him, the kind which Usyk can easily dismantle.
