    Being relentlessly pounded on by Hrgovic, Miller, and walking through some vicious bombs from AJ, one of the hardest punchers at Heavyweight, is kind of proof to the contrary. Dubois has a damned good chin actually, his temples and eyes however, a little shaky. But most people's are. It's his heart that was questionable, but even now he's seemingly sorted that out. Still think he loses wide or gets TKO'd late against Usyk in a rematch. But this Itauma clown is thoroughly unproven at the elite level, and what happens when he hits someone and they don't go down, but instead keep coming forward? Dubois' got fast hands, almost as fast as his, and if he can take AJ's power, he can probably soak up the best Itauma has to offer, but can Itauma soak up the best Daniel has to offer? If his chin is anything like his brother's, then he might be in deep deep trouble.

    Watch at 17 minutes, talk about a shameful mandible.:lol:

    Vitali and Wlad were brothers but didn't have the same chin lol.

    Itauma was sparring Dubois, Okolie and AJ when he was 16 years old. Shane McGuigan implied that Itauma was getting the better of Dubois in sparring at 17.

    I know, sparring gloves and all, but his chin surely can't be that bad if he was going toe to toe with those guys at that age.

    I'm picking Itauma to KO Dubois if they fight next year. Might sound crazy to most people, but I genuinely believe it. Let's see what happens.

    More like Big Baby Jarrell Miller. At 19 he should be chiseled...but he is flabby. No muscle definition at all. How fat will he be at 25 or 30?

    Itauma said he was obese at 14-15, then he started to follow diet plan and actually lost numerous lbs

    He will probably have weight issues the rest of his life. He will have to train rigorously to stay in shape. Otherwise, we have a NEW Tyson Fury in the near future.
