The Dubois that faced Joshua could give Usyk serious problems

in your eyes Fury was going to beat usyk twice .

 

It’s the same Dubois

 

Dubois will struggle to land any good shots on Usyk, he'll see them coming from a mile away. Even his jab, Dubois has a very powerful jab - but its telegraphed enough for Usyk to avoid and counter in which we have already seen before.

His best chance is to trap the crap out of Usyk into the ropes, fight dirty and make it a streetfight and try and "big man" him but that won't be easy because Usyk's footwork, and ring IQ is exceptional.

Its like one of these fights where you see this meme of this 'small guy' with a big bodybuilder and the caption is no-one knows the 'small guy' would beat up the big bodybuilder.

 

Size difference is pretty big, as is the age difference and the roid difference.
Usyk a bit overconfident these days.
Basically lining up his retirement fight (which he expects to win) after the Dubious or Parker fight.
Dangerous thinking really.
You're 38. And you're undersized against all of these characters.
Needs an intervention soon.

As much as Dubious is an idiot, a dirty quitter and a protected brand, he's a dangerous opponent because he's game and can punch.

 

I don't believe so.

I don't really think this Dubois is all that different to be honest, he's just been fighting guys with a style that flattered him. All three went in with the mentality that they could overpower him in the first few rounds and make him quit, ignoring the fact that the only other two times he quit came late from exhaustion and getting his ****ing eyesocket broken, and all three paid dearly for that line of thinking. In Miller and Hrgovic's case it was because they badly gassed out, in AJ's it was getting caught early with a big shot and going into his deer in headlights mode because of that. And even then, any reasonable scorecard still had him badly trailing Hrgovic at the time of the stoppage. Granted, had the fight gone on I think Dubois was on the way to genuinely knocking him out, but it's still worth noting.

I give Dubois major props for the comeback he's had. I've loved seeing him bounce back after largely being written off after a couple of losses. But yeah, I just don't see him doing much better, if at all, against Usyk.

But hey, never know in boxing. Unfortunately it looks like we'll be finding out, and Usyk's Heavyweight resume will consist of nothing but Chazz Witherspoon and rematches with British dudes. At this rate I'm expecting his last outing to be a dual retirement bout with Chisora

 

The problem I have with it is that it will be the same fighters fighting for it again while these other two, Parker and Kabayel, are deserving of a title shot as well.

And you will see what will happen, Usyk and Dubois schedule the fight like 3 months from now, then one of them gets injured/sick/tests positive and now the fight gets further delayed and those two are just sitting on all the belts.

 

Not so sure about that. Between the age of 25 and 27 most heavyweights do improve and I think Dubois has.

 

Dubios would be punching air until Usyk wants him to quit.

I don't think you could get two fighters that are anymore different than AJ and Usyk, so it's silly to make that comparison.

 

Usyk is not Joshua and would not allow Dubois to do what he did to Joshua,as well as Joshua was beaten before he stepped in the ring with Dubois. Usyk has far greater skills and mental fortitude than Joshua ever has. Dubois would need lightning to strike twice for him to beat Usyk and that would mean a body shot a couple of inches higher than the last controversial one,no lightning strike and Usyk just wears him out again and finishes him with another jab. Usyk is the kingpin of the Division and has beat who he needed to so I’d like him to retire and leave the younger fighters to contest the belts. Parker v Dubois or Dubois v Kabayel both interesting match ups . The lure of the money and potential 2 time Unsiputed seems too good for Usyk to retire however .

 

In many peoples eyes Fury was going to beat Usyk,myself included. However Usyk proved to be the better fighter over both fights and deservedly so. Have you never got a Boxing prediction wrong ?

 

My point exactly and I did actually pick usyk.in fight 2

He must be a billionaire with his predictions

 

Kabayel is level above Dubois
Time will prove it

 

Usyk doesn’t have a Glass Jaw like AJ.

 

Predicting and nuthugging isn’t the same thing . Are you his attorney?

 

Styles make fights.

I am high on Kabayel. He is hands down a Top 5 Fighter right now. But he is an upper cut waiting to happen against a pressure fighter or high end counter puncher. His chin is on parade.

Dubois is a more tested fighter and I think he exposes that flaw.
