Comments Thread For: Dubois on Usyk: He's a Cruiserweight; I Just Got to Land on His Little Head, **** Him Up

[AmpMcv]

Even Usyk doesn't believe DDD is worthy of a comment. DDD is not really a physical fighter with a big gas tank and solid durability-which would be what is needed according to his own expressed gameplan. He has a paper mache chin and Usyk will probably look like a big puncher after he mops up Dubois. I think the Chisora-Usyk fight will look more competitive.

That's kind of what I meant. Usyk doesn't talk the talk. He's a rare breed.

Say that to his face. I'd pay to see that.
He's making £1.6m this week and he's got years left in his career. What you make this week?

A lot more than you, that’s for sure. Keep riding his ****, Usyk is going to embarass this big ******.

Dubois is only 12 pounds heavier than Usyk....taller, but not all that heavier. He DOES have a much bigger head.

What's the correlation between head size & boxing ability?

When Usyk first jumped to HW I think Dubois would have been favored to beat him, had they fought then. I think this is an interesting match-up. If Usyk is in shape (some are questioning it?) and on his normal game, he should be able to win. Dubois is a wild-card for me. People forget he was winning the Joyce fight but his defense was almost irresponsible to that jab. If he's learned to defend the jab he is a powerful puncher with a lot of talent. Usyk is very crafty and with underrated power (he's beaten many bigger guys over the years). Still I always thought Dubois would come up big in a big fight one day. Is this the day?

Interesting match-up. This will tell us a lot about both fighters. (from a related Usyk vs Dubois thread)

He is so naïve if he thinks he could just do that, plus usyk has an underrated chin as well. I can't remember which round, but he took AJ's powerful straight right in the 2nd fight and never went down.

PEDS? I'm thinking of baseball player Barry Bonds, a noted PED user. He note only increased the musculature of his body, but his head expanded as well.

Interesting. I never thought of that.

Is it HGH that makes everything in your body grow?

Gives new meaning to "having a big head."
