    Joshua was a wrecking ball the first time they fought. But if he fights like he did against Franklin, he could be in trouble. I was never impressed with Whyte. But he can punch. This fight fascinates me for some reason.

    I was also never sold on Dubois like so many were during his climb. His last fight was awful.

    But he's dim. So was Leon. Sometimes, being stupid helps when you're overmatched. As does being 10 years younger.

    I'm looking forward to both fights.

    Im not so sure about that mind as Dubois looked terrible against Lerena as well the fact there careers are night and day in regards to the quality of there previous opponents .

    I think that Dubois have the biggest chance for the upset.

    That would really shake things up, which might be what this division needs, especially if fury really has no intention of ever facing Usyk.

    I would be upset if Usyk loses. Probably the most upset since Mosley lost to Forrest. But not as bad. That fight taught me not to get all crazy with my support of fighters. But, Usyk is the truth for sure. Win, Lose or draw, dude will always have my respect.

    Dubois will get absolutely embarrassed and look like he has never boxed before in his life.

    AJ and Whyte has grudge match appeal so that could make the fight closer. Whyte has more KO losses than wins in recent memory so it doesn't look great for him either.

    There is like a 40% chance of Dubois defeating Usyk.
    And there is a 30% chance that Whyte beats AJ.

    I don't see it, my controversial pick is usyk early

    For as ordinary as Joshua looked against pulev and franklin he's always been a level above whyte who he should ko

    The same possibility that Wilder loses a rematch to Helenius, and Fury losing a 10 round decision to Ngannou.

    They all got very favorable match-ups or damaged goods opponents. Boxing giving us all the **** fights we didn't ask for or want.

    Lerena is no mug and that stoppage Dubois put on him was legit. People are writing him off too early. If Usyk can't hurt him he's in for a hard fight.

    Whyte has a better shot than Dubois

    lol get out of here with that. I know you like a good troll, but this is just silly.

    Dubois was hitting Lerena after the bell, THEN the referee waves it off with Lerena still standing instead of letting him go back to the corner. The stoppage was one of the most corrupt things I've seen in boxing.

    Throw in the bell going early in the 1st round after Dubois goes down for a third time, and it was obviously a fixed fight that went wildly off script.
