    I think Ngannou edges it based on toughness and power.

    I think all the big names that don't heavily rely on rough house tactics in the clinch beat Francis easily.

    I'm actually going to say Dubious here. He has more boxing skills and good power.
    But it wouldn't surprise me if he got hit a few times and quit on his shield.

    Dubois wins, despite his journeyman status

    Dubois has no heart.

    Ngannou tags him and Dubois quits

    I think Ngannou wins. Dubois' chin is poor, he never had much heart and could be mentally shot now. Look at three of his last six fights, four of which were against bums:

    Non-bum Joyce (who went on to get destroyed by Zhang x2) gives Dubois his first real fight, makes him quit in 10 solely using his jab.

    Bum light punching 3rd rate cruiser Lerena drops Dubois three times in the first round after a weird shot to the forehead, Lerena decides not to jump on him for some reason and gets stopped prematurely in 3. Along with domestic level Gorman this is Dubois' best win.

    Non-bum light punching elite cruiser Usyk schools Dubois and makes him quit on a jab, Dubois felt he was robbed but capitulated mentally anyway.

    Ngannou's confidence would be much higher than Dubois' and he just got 10 good rounds of experience against Fury in a mega boxing event.

    I think Dubois would beat him personally. Although you can never pick him with total faith given his lack of heart.

    AJ Ngannou is the logical fight really.

    Embarrassing - a half assed pillowfisted Fury who didn't throw punches for half the fight gets beat, now Ngannou can beat anyone and everyone.

    Dubois is far more skilled, and I'd say he hits harder than Ngannou. Dubois would hurt Ngannou bad.

    I am starting to think Ngannou vs Dubois will be a good undercard fight for Fury vs Usyk. To hype things up.

    Dubois isn't "anyone and everyone", despite KD'ing Usyk for 4 minutes with that bodyshot/low blow. He's a chinny quitter who got dropped 3x in the 1st round by a cruiser bum.

    to beat Francis you need a good chin. if he lands a solid shot on him he’s going down like a sandbag. Francis would never take this fight.

    the only fights that make sense are Aj Wilder or Fury rematch. Francis isn’t going to share a ring with lesser known boxer. He’s going for huge pay days.

    Dubois hits more accurately and is faster. Ngannou better have the world's best chin because he hardly looked like Mayweather in there.
