    I can't see Joshua beating Dubious

    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.

    DDD needs to fight Zhang, Parker, Bakole. But then of course Josh v DDD. But its not an immediate rematch type thing.

      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.

        He can win.

        Not sure he has the mentality to do it though.

          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..

            They are both mental midgets.

              I think in Dubois’s case it works in his favour

                Have to disagree with you there, both AJ and DDD have no chins.

                And DDD just had the better gameplan.

                  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.

                    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
