I don't know how he's still at #7 on boxrec. In reality outside top 20 after that display. The #!20 guy is Frank Sanchez whose win on Ajagba is better than any recent Dubois win. Imo Sanchez outboxes Dubois.

At this point even Ajagba beats Dubois

I think most people just confuse the ability to recovery with chin. Fury doesn't have a particularly good chin at all. It's bang average at best. What he does have is remarkable recovery skills. He can be hurt and put on his a**e and you don't have to have a big puncher either to achieve that. But he will get up and be ready to go again by 9.

To play devils advocate, he has never faced a prime fighter with skill and power.

Sure. And let's just ignore that Usyk got punched by a few dozen legal body shots that did nothing to him. Heck, Dubois landed legal body shots even in the fifth round when Usyk was still just trying to get back into the fight, still visibly hurt.

This is the thing people like you tend to (or pretend to) forget. The damage doesn't just go away. If a body shot is legal but doesn't KO the fighter, hit the area again and they will get hurt again. Dubois landed more than thirty legal body shots - and the only one that hurt Usyk was the one deemed illegal by the referee (straight away, I might add, as he was standing some 8 feet away, directly looking at the fighters).

How come Dubois was unable to finish the job? How come he couldn't hurt Usyk with more body shots? After all, Usyk allegedly has a "glass body".

The reality is simple: Usyk's vulnerability to body punches is grossly exaggerated, and despite landing dozens of legal body shots, Dubois was helpless against a superior boxer. When Dubois was told it was an illegal blow, he didn't even react surprised. Forget protesting (because some Dubois defenders tried to sell the BS idea how he was a non-argumentative kind of guy, that's why he never argued with the referee - lol), he didn't even have a look of "what are you talking about, that shot was great" look on his face. He didn't even raise an eyebrow, gesture with his hands, nothing. He knew it was a low blow, it was written all over his body language.

Usyk does have a bit of a weakness to body shots, but you make a good point re: the cumulative damage.

Main reason I never bought that it was a legitimate bodyshot was how quickly Usyk went down. Body shot KOs are usually delayed reaction while groin shots are almost instantaneous. And yeah, Dubois making zero song and dance about it was pretty damning. Why didn't he immediately start jumping for joy if he thought he got a legitimate KD?

Only controversy now is the shameful bs that came out of the Dubois camp. Calling Usyk a cheat should not go unpunished.

Controversy is how Dubois became mandatory for Usyk. Or Hrgovic for that matter.
