    In general, true fans of the sport (not individual fighters) have the ability to be objective. They can see that while Dubois is a far more powerful puncher, Gorman has far more boxing ability. You can't hurt what you can't hit and as the likes of Mayweather, Ward, Fury, etc have proved; the superior boxer will beat the superior puncher on points more often than not - even if it's not as exciting to watch a a slugfest.

      Kinda like both of em, but mainly it's just that classic boxer vs puncher match up which is always amplified at HW.... sure he's the better boxer, but can he be the better boxer for every second of 12 rounds....?

      No fight I'm looking forward to more this month... I'm leaning towards Gorman but anything could happen.

      Seems like it's the season for the chunky dudes who can box anyways...

        Fury and Mayweather both pick fights. And Gorman is no Mayweather or Fury. What the fans did here was pick the fighter they wanted to win.

        Ask a Wilder fan and a Fury fan to do the same and they will both pick their man.

        Dubois wins in 7th or 8th round

          I get what you are saying and I agree with everything that you are saying. But you can't put Jury in the same Bracket as Mayweather.

                In general, I'd say that Dubois was the more fan-friendly fighter of the 2 so should have won simple popularity contest.

                  He may be trained by Hatton, but his head and upper body movement is far better than his coach's ever were.

                    Yeah you're right. Mayweather was still a great fighter. We all know what he did though.

                    As for Fury - no one really knows. It's all opinion. He could be a great fighter but he needs to prove it against top opposition.
