    Please continue to downplay Usyks achievements out of nothing more than hate. Although DuBois is much bigger Usyk will outbox him. Fury will continue to run, terrified of Usyk.

    Given 1:1 odds I wouldn't put even a single dollar on this fight. Who knows, perhaps Daniel Dubois is the second coming of Mairis Briedis?

    For me Daniel is sort of like Rahman, he doesn't do anything especially well but he doesn't do anything especially badly either.

    Acctually the biggest problem with the LL Rahman rematch was that even Rahman thought that he had gotten lucky and he tried to change his style and brought on Jake and Shane Mosley as his trainers. This ofcourse only led to a worse performance from Rahman. It's a shame that we didn't get to see Rahman deploy the same tactics that he did in the first fight, we might have seen a repeat performance.

    Back to Usyk vs Dubois.... in 2008 when Usyk was 21 years old he was fighting as a light heavyweight as an amateur. As far as size goes he is no super heavyweight and size does matter.

    People are acting like Dubois is this big challenge now because of size.

    Usyk just did beat Joshua,…talking about size.

    Also Joyce beat up Dubois and Joyce made Dubois look small. Joyce got beat up by Zhang, and Zhang made Joyce look small. Also Usyk beat Joyce already as an amateur.

    Dubois is not this behemoth of the division.

    How in the world did Dubois end up becoming a mandatory?

    Usyk will moider da bum.

    It is funny, because I absolutely hated that this is a mandatory. But at this point, I just want to see Usyk fight naybody.

    The s**** thing is, Usyk will have to face his next 2 mandatory next as well. But at least they are Hrgovic and Zhang/Joyce, which would be great matches.

    I would prefer Hrgovic/Zhang/Joyce all over the Dubois fight to be fair, but what we can do about it.

    And i think if Usyk is smart he will call it a day in the 2024. I don't think Fury fight will ever happen or Fury may want it in 2025, when Usyk is close to 40, but Usyk should just clean his mandatory in Hrgovic and Zhang/Joyce and retire.

    I hope Zhang beats Joyce again, so next year we can see a huge fight in China between Usyk and Zhang.

    What if Dubois try to fight like Chisora ? He have better speed, punching power and stamina for sure

    And will get the same result, aka gassing in the 3rd, and gets beaten badly since, but he will get KOed unlike Chisora, who actually have a decent chin.

    Usyk should retire after a couple of fights, or get a full Evan Fields regime. By the time Fury agrees Usyk will be close to 38, stamina speed would be gone.

    He's got got time with Zhang, though, if Fury ever grows a pair. They have not called due on that mando.

    Hrgovic is next, and you can bet that Hearn will push for that, and will want Usyk to be stripped. Due to AJ rematch and the ultimate time waster Fury, Usyk hasn't defend the title against the mandatory for quite some time, so he won't get a pass.
    Or will have to vacate, which literally remove the possibility for Undisputed.

    But you can be sure that after the Dubois fight, Fury will find another excuse not to fight Usyk.

    Dubois beat Trevor Bryan for the ridiculous WBA regular title,Usyk is the WBA super champion.

    The WBA have now finally seen sense in getting rid of this regular title rubbish & are making the holder fight the super champion to phase it out & "unify" it so to speak.I hope that makes sense as the WBA had 3 belts at one stage:

    WBA Super
    WBA Regular
    WBA Interim

    It’s ridiculous. And it has devalued legit titles like the European title and national titles. I never hear anyone talk about the European title anymore. 20 years ago that was different. A guy like Dubois should be fighting for a European title. Not a World title.

    I am surprised Dubois did not suffer a knockdown or take a knee.
