    Dubois would make up for what he gives away in experience with youth, stamina and punching power among a host of other serious attributes that Chisora lacked. Just too strong and hungry, and he’s the owner of a great jab and excellent combinations.

    Make no mistake, he wouldn’t run out of gas, no, he’d blow Usyk away as if he were a child’s paper aeroplane being caught up in a hurricane.

    :lol: Why exactly can´t Usyk hurt Dubois?
    Usyk hurt everyone at cruiser and rocked Chisora multiple times. Not to mention that he is a 215lb man with extreme accuracy.
    Usyk also hurt Joyce in the amateurs.

    So how exactly will Duboi´s slight weight advantage going to nullify Usyk´s power?

    I'm a fan of Dubois but talk about getting carried away.......

    He hasn't fought anyone yet so how can you even put him in the same sentence as Usyk.

    He has a very tough fight up next against Joyce, let's see how he gets through that first.

    Neither are proven at heavyweight. Neither have fought anyone top 10 (Hunter at Cruiserweight doesn't count).

    Lets wait and see how they develop at this level.

    I'm concerned about Usyk's power (finishing power) at HW, not his skill. Usyk by UD.

    I have seen nothing to suggest anyone other than the current elite would pose a significant threat to Usyk. He was really still in first gear vs. Chisora (a stylistic foil as most crowding guys are bad matchups for pure boxers). There really are no other fighters in the top 10 that are that face forward pressure style like Chisora, he'll be troubled a lot less by most of these guys, and they aren't gonna "outbox and out duel" him.
    Fury is gonna be a problem for him. Fury is a potential problem for everyone.

    Dubois hasn't the best chin from backroom accounts.

    Probably because he had to throw the kitchen sink at an old journeyman and couldn't even put him down when chisora was completely exhausted and almost throwing himself off balance every time he threw a punch after round 4

    And yet... yet Usyk still hurt Chisora.
    You can make all the excuses you want, but it happened.

    And how do you explain away Usyk clearly hurting the heavyweights he fought in WSB?

    That's not the point though is it? There's a clear reason to be skeptical that any heavyweight will be deterred by Usyks power. If they aren't it's going to be a serious issue for him

    Chisora didn't lack stamina, the way he fought was just unsustainable for anyone. He went in like berserker the first 3 rounda, throwing punches non stop

    WOW!
    Who are these excellent heavyweight contenders Usyk beat in WBS and why aren't they already contending for the WBC, WBO, WBA & other belts!?
