    Dubois vs Haye that knocked out Chisora, who wins?

    The best of Haye walks Dubois onto counters, Dubois struggles to land clean, Haye eventually counters him clean and Dubois sits out the count when he realises he can’t land clean.

    Haye would certainly the gaps here, he was really underrated at his best, he was an underachiever at HW.

    Haye was levels above in offensive and defensive talent, but I don't see that chin holding up.

    What about Dubois’ chin? He’d surely get countered and have to taste the power of Haye clean.

    I remember when Haye was the flavor of the month. Now it's Dubois.

    flavor of the month vs. flavor of the month

    They both bring some key vulnerabilities to the table, but my hunch is that Haye woudl sucker Dubois into making a mistake, and then not let him off the hook.

    Haye's was far worse.

    I am not certain that it was.

    I think that Hayes problem was more his stamina than his chin.

    Haye gets filleted.

    The jab , pressure , size and power would devour him. DD has great stamina for a big man. Usyk shattered him mentally.

    I am probably leaning to Dubois but not with a large degree of confidence.

    I feel it was underrated. He took flush punches against Klitschko, Chisora and didn’t go down, he went down while green against Thompson, and also against Mormeck when he was also less experienced, but both were big punchers.

    The Bellew fights, his Achilles was shot.

    Dubois being the dirty fighter he is would step on Haye's toes and then quickly knock him out in the first round.

    There were certain fights he fought scared, though.
