It's a hopeless match-up. Dubious outmuscles, is faster, has a stronger jab, and is younger than Joshua.
Joshua has a bigger punch (Dubious has to hit guys 5000 times to get a TKO). But Dubious has a good enough punch to KO chinny Joshua.
Dubious outperforms Joshua in every domain, including chin endurance. Its not a good fight for Joshua to take.
Yeh, I think Josh can win rematch. Rematch don't need to go same way as first fight. Who knowS, maybe in rematch Josh keeps chin down and don't lead with uppercuts? Just that alone is enough to believe rematch won't be same
Man, he lost just about every minute of that fight & was KD'd what 3 or 4 times?
At the end Dubois opened himself up to try to finish him off & AJ had a little bit of success because Dubois let him.
He was hit very hard early though, everyone has a plan until that happens. Carl Froch was beaten for many rounds in the first Groves fight after getting decked. We'll see, maybe you're right, but I think a rematch will be a cagier affair and that could favour Joshua.
I can, he wasn't a million miles away from it in the last round of the last fight, he cracked him hard, just needed patience.

Neither can anybody else, if they're honest:rolleyes:

AJ had just finished putting together again the fragments of his psyche destroyed by Andy Ruiz and Usyk, and Dubois shattered the china again.
I might be wrong, but I don't believe Joshua will ever be back at the top.
But even after Joshua regrouped, he was constantly outpunched.
DUbious isn't that great either tbh and he almost Lost it in the end.
They both kinda suck...both have technical skills but they lack that fighter quality..
Yes indeed......
1. Lay a billion dollars on the table.
2. Invite everyone in the world to come get it.
3. Make certain that everyone knows about this.
4. The stipulation is that you have to fight for it 1 on 1.
5. No chokes, ground grapping, ball kicking shortcuts.
....And the best people to show up "kinda suck".
If josh fights like he did in first fight, he will lose of course. But that's like worst anyone seen of josh, he can't be that bad again surely?
But ddd is good now, so any version of josh.might fall short
Dubois is still a work in progress. He has to get better, particularly defensively. Joshua is in his twilight. He has nowhere to go... He is not going to gut out a win over Dubois. He could catch Dubois that is it.

Have to disagree with you there, both AJ and DDD have no chins.
And DDD just had the better gameplan.
Joshua needs to keep his dang hands up. Looked like an amateur in there. Hands below the suspect chin, throwing lazy single jabs and not having an exit strategy... He looked like he was beaten before he ever got in the ring, TBH. Like the pressure got to him. You'd think, having more championship experience, that he'd be mentally stronger, but if he can't get his mind right, he's not gonna have a chance. That's gonna be one heck of a rebuilding job if he isn't going to retire.
