Can this version of AJ beat Daniel Dubois?

[Quiksilva]

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

Brain fog or CTE? Considering the guy has been in so many fkn wars tbh. If you look at his resume!! It's hella crazy

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.

Why you being a boring twat? If you don't like it, don't post in the thread? We are all well AWARE he lost his fight Dubois, are you 12 years old?

I'm just playing alternatives from then till now and if "AJ" came in like this, would've he won against Dubois?

No, I'm not 12 yo I probably triple your age. Maybe if you play the Dubois vs AJ video game he can win. Why don't you ask what he can do in his next fight to win the fight? Or if he can find a way to show up for the fight with a better version of himself. I think you're the boring and immature guy here.

I'm not sure he can. In the first fight Dubois had much better fundamentals and frankly outclassed him from start to finish. Apart from AJ landing a hail Mary right before getting wiped out I don't think he really had any success. Even that for me was just thrown out of sheer desperation.
I sure didn't think it going in but Dubois looked to know AJs style, strengths and weaknesses inside out. Anything AJ even tried Dubois anticipated and immediately shut it down even with the one big shot AJ landed, he responded in kind right after.
His style is too amateurish. I know he was gifted an olympic gold medal and he is a two-time I believe HW champion and has all this experience but he just isn't a polished fighter, like at all, very novice like.

The main reason I am no longer sure any version of AJ, even the one in the video beats Dubois is his jab or lack of, it is a set up and a set up only for a right hand he telegraphs and often leaves himself off-balance throwing, he doesn't even follow it up with the left hook to put himself back on balance he just clunkily tries running away whilst bolt upright with his chin high which is very dangerous. He doesn't and frankly never did use his jab as a weapon. I think that is a huge problem against an aggressor with a very hard, educated ramrod jab. I see nothing he possesses to neutralise or to match it.

I think the fight will always be largely dictated by Dubois having a much better jab

Same guy. Joshua hasn't deteriorated so much as his chin has been found out.
He's a massive talent! Don't get me wrong.
But he lacks only world class whiskers, and that can have big consequences.

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!

Wlad had a few bad days at the office too. More than Joshua, in fact.

[SUBZER0ED]

Wow, that's actually a great idea.

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

Yes, it would be a conflict of interest for a future fight with Fury, but it would be perfect in preparation for DDD.

AJ can still crack but unfortunately so is his chin.

9 years ago, that wasnt the case.
