    He's literally being handed title shots without earning them. You've got contenders stringing up good wins sitting on the sidelines while Dubios gets handed a free title shot after quitting in his last fight. Hell, he only got that crack at Usyk because he ducked Parker.

    No other fighter in this sport gets rewarded for mediocrity more than Dubios does.

    If he pulls off a win against Wardley? Absolutely.

    Hopefully Wardley makes him quit again, but Frank will find another way to give him another title shot within the year I'm sure.

    Keeping the "zero" against verhoeven should not be that hard for usyk i guess.

    Whats else when you keep your "zero" by fighting rico and avoiding guys like wardley or kabayel ?

    No . He deserves credit and i give him credit for wins over e.g aj or fury , no question . Even more for his cw time .

    But now he protects his "zero" by avoiding boxers at any costs and fighting only guys like rico . Then his "zero" is / will become just paper .

    I think Wardley is going to iron him out. Sorry, he got knocked down by Usyk. Multiple times. What’s going to happen when Wardley nails him clean? Nighty night.

    Usyk is like a 5/10 in terms of HW power. Wardley is a solid 9. World of difference being hit by their best.

    Usyk's power is underrated. He's grown into his weight very well.

    But I agree, I'd favour a flush shot from Wardley to make Dubios quit, but Dubios also packs a punch and Wardleys chin hasn't been tested at the same level yet

    No

    Despite his recent actions you cannot in any way take away his previous accolades

    It doesn't work like that

    hopefully he keeps the antics to a minimum going forward

    You cannot take his wins , i agree , but some day he wants to retire "undefeated" with zero losses on his counter and this will not mean much anymore after a fight ( and win ) over a non boxer in a boxing match .

    With a similar , reversed logic you could say me and you are also undefeated in hw pro boxing - we both never lost a hw pro boxing bout .

    We both never competed though

    I get your point but your terminology is off

    Damn. Who knew Floyd Mayweather's entire career and his 50-0 was pointless because he decided to fight Conor MacGregor for his final fight!
