Should Usyk Face Parker or Dubois?

Rematches don't always play out the same,There are moving parts to consider. That's like saying why bother doing a AJ-Parker rematch, just watxh their first bout where AJ dominated in first gear. But would a rematch play out the same at this stage? I think probably not. Dubois has come on along way since the first bout both as a fighter in general and definitely confidence wise coming off two impressive wins agasint top ranked opponents and Usyk is closer to 40 now than he is 30, it's at the end of his career. Dubois has a punchers chance, Parker doesn't. Stylistically Parker is a walk in the park for Usyk in my opinon, whereas Dubois at least can try and use the new confidence and put some pressure on him and his aging legs and throw big bombs and maybe land one. Obviously Usyk is heavy favourite to win both but I've got zero interest in the Parker fight. Don't get me wrong he deserves it but I don't see any way Parker has even 1% chance of winning unlike Dubois who has like maybe 10. I heard Dubois on the radio saying he wants Parker 1st and foremost cos its unfinished business. Hope it happens as then there's no doubting who Usyk faces. Whatever confidence Doobie had before sickening out of the Parker fight he has to build from scratch now. Seeing Parker time and walk Bakole on to a knockout shot in 2 rounds will have Sniffles second guessing his game plan.

Zero interest to see Usyk - Dubois 2. Usyk against Kabayel or Parker please.

Of those lackluster options, the obvious pick is Parker since Usyk already beat DDD. I rather see Usyk release all the belts and campaign at Bridgerweight but that's just me.

Just rewatch their first bout then. Plenty of interest everywhere else. Rematches don't always play out the same,There are moving parts to consider.
