    AJ's a more skilled fighter than Dubois, but Dubois would always be a problem for AJ because of AJ's flawed chin.
    Lennox Lewis had a suspect chin, too, but the late, great Emmanuel Steward taught him how to be first while protecting his chin. Same with Wladimir Klitschko. AJ needs to get with Sugar Hill.

      Wow, that's actually a great idea.

      You think that wouldn't ruin things with Fury, tho, ?

        All I read from the wannabes experts in this site was" flip hit ddd all night, and Josh hits harder than flip. Goodnight ddd"
        I certainly always say that AJ's got a wack chin & stamina issues.

        He's more talented than DDD, but the most talented fighter doesn't always win in a fight.

          Not me. I predicted a Dubois win. Joshua fights too hesitant and Big Doobie can whack . That was my main reason for picking Double D. That scared , hesitant style of Joshuas always leads to a guy getting hit because it's an unnatural way to fight. He's going to bite on and overreact to every feint and he's going to be too tight and jumpy. That leads to getting cracked. I don't think that he will ever rematch Big Doobie because the result will be the same.
          Also when he bites on the feint, he just puts up a leaky guard which lets you tee off on him. When he moves out of range he goes back in a straight line with his hands down which is open season for DDD who is happy to throw 3, 4, 5 bombs moving forward.

            Bad style matchup for AJ.

            AJ was lucky to have beaten Wlad. If Wlad had more of a killer instinct he’d have knocked AJ out. He wasn’t aggressive enough in those rounds where AJ was pretty much there to be taken out.

            Props to AJ though, he won the fight and showed great grit and determination.

            AJ just isn’t that good. I’ve said it from day 1. He’s too mechanical, not skilled good enough to box on the outside like Wlad/Lennox/Fury unless he’s against a plodder.

            Not durable (or fit) enough to fight in midrange against guys top guys who can punch.

            Hes an overachiever

              Dubois has never lost. He was 8-1 up on one card vs Joyce and only 'lost' due to saving his eye, he would have won that fight easily normally. Then he knocked Usyk out with a body shot, so that's fight over. His best win was against the Great Jarrel Miller. Nash out - His Excellency

                I think we all know a prime Wlad would've beaten AJ easily, he was 41 in the fight with AJ... waaaay past it, but still gave a good contest!

                  Do you think this version of AJ could've beaten DDD on the night, or DDD will always have his number in terms of style-wise matchup?

                  Why you guys bring soo many hipótesis is beyond understanding. He lost the fight, why go back 9 years and is not going to solve nothing.

                    against wlad he got up off the canvas to win. but ever since ruiz 1 he will get flustered against top level opponents. also he has gotten sloppy, hes stop using some of the defensive techniques he used in his earlier days, with the long guard. i seen a breakdown video of it somewhere. you seen how sloppy he was when he rushed in after dubois and got KTFO from a counter. he was supposed to be the superior boxer hes not supposed to be getting countered by dubois but there it was

                      Yeh I'm questioning what I know and thought now. Is Josh more talented when all people do is criticised Josh abilities? Well I guess Josh has a gold medal, so on that basis might be seen as the talent
