    If Furys at the level he was against Usyk he makes it look easy.

    That's a big if though.

    If Dubious was tough and hard to stop it would be one thing but Usyk stopped him twice which means Fury can too since Fury actually has a bit more power.
    Question is does Fury get caught. These days he's more vulnerable to that being a bit slower and maybe having a bit of CTE. I think it's a risky fight these days.
    If you look at Fury v Wilder I, Fury was very hard to hit clean and Wilder is faster than Dubious.
    So good chance Fury TKOs him on attrition.
    Puncher's chance always there.
    But Fury also took bigger power and continued.

    Couple of Dubois pork pies to the cranium and glass will be shattered.

    Theres no Universe or timeline where Fury ever takes that fight or would have ever taken that fight.

    Fury is probably shot. He hasn't officially won a fight in two years, hasn't really won one in three, and hasn't won one that matters in three and a half.

    It's Joshua or stay retired. Dubois, for all his flaws, will roll him at this point.

    Dubois wins this by KO, but I don't want to see Usyk vs Dubois 3. Thus, this fight shouldn't happen.

    Nothing about Dubois excites me. Sure he has some power but he has no heart at all. He is easy to hit. Doesn’t have much technical boxing skills. Quits easily.

    I think even a washed version of Fury in 2025 would have enough ring IQ to beat him

    You should watch it without your Fury goggles on.

    Yeah, basically his prime. Now he's shot, according to his own fans.

    If Fury comes in like he did against Usyk I would back him to stop Dubois between rounds 8 and 10

    Big deal. Guys get up almost instantly at times and are still badly hurt. Fury was visible shaken afterwards.

    Dangerous fight for Fury.

    Idk... on one hand its hard not to favor him, on the other, he hasnt beaten anyone better than DD in years, and hasnt fought anyone as dangerous in years either.

    That being said, have to give the edge to Fury in a fight i wouldtn be suprised to see him lose.

    In reality though Fury would never take such a fight.

    Going off most previous fights and basically performances so far, not assuming that Fury’s inactivity has put him completely over the hill.
    Two more than respectable performances against the No 1, still looking like the consensus No 2, I will go Fury.
    Dubois could put Fury down early or late, but I’d still favour Fury to find his way through, be consistent with the jab, find angles and his confidence grow as the fight goes on, the opposite for Dubois as we have seen a few times. It’s hard to not envisage another quit/corner stoppage for Dubois.
    If Fury wants to come back, I’m more than happy with this fight. A victory here would cement him as minimum top 5.
