(AJ is definitely fighting one of these 3 in September) As a follow-up to the poll I made yesterday asking who people would like to see AJ fight in September, now the following question: Who of these 3 would have the best chance of beating AJ? I'd make AJ the favourite in all three fights, but in my opinion Zhang and Dubois would be more dangerous than Parker stylistically.
Zhang, and even then all AJ has to do is survive the first 5 rounds. Parker loses again and Dubois is just a discount version of AJ.
Probably Dubois... Joshua's gas tank isn't the best, but he'd outlast Zhang pretty comfortably - then break him down. Parker might have a decent chance on points, but ultimately I think Joshua probably outscores him. Dubois has the best punchers chance across 12 rounds - if he can stay on his feet... Zhang has a better one in the first 3-5 rounds before gassing.
Zhang, Dubious then Parker Zhang & Dubious are very dangerous right now for AJ He has been bumming around Franklin, Helenius, Wallin then Francis.... AJ tends to flop whenever he gets an acid test. Dubious has been through the grinder to be where he is today. He was NOT coddled when he got beat by Joyce. I hope they don't make Dubious Zhang. They'd just keep going round in circles at this point. All of these B tier heavys are very good and style matchup differently with one another.
I still think Parker He would need to follow a gameplan to a tee and take some risks, which puta him in harms way, but he would have a chance Aj now is too smart to get into a firefight with zhang. He would be cautious early, but still landing hard shots, then he would move for the kill later Dubois for me just doesn't have it. I know I give Aj stick, not a fan, but I don't think Dubois is good enough. Aj can easily out box him
I think Zhang would clip him and finish him mid rounds. Hits way too hard for Joshua not to eventually shell up and get taken out.
