I'd favour Parker, more experienced and a better boxer.

Dubois is no pushover though.

He has obvious talent, a great jab and he can crack.

That performance might have helped him mentally.

It's the first time he faced adversity against a solid opponent and prevailed and that makes him a dangerous cat now.

Dubois impressed against Miller. Although Miller isn't great, he is bloody massive and has a good chin with lots of pressure and uses his weight quite well. Dubois' best win by a long shot. I would still favour Parker though.

Parker would be hitting Dubois a lot harder and a lot more often than Miller did - that little voice in Dubois head may convince him to take a knee and surrender again.
Dubois appears a decent puncher - but not a KO artist.

I'd like to see it. Both on a decent run of form.
Pretty sure it would go to the cards, and Parker would edge it in a close, possibly split decision

Dubois for me. Good fight though, although Parker still young enough to have peak awaiting at 31 (very nearly 32).

The press conferences would be the most pleasant ever seen, as Parker and Dubois are two of the nicest guys in the sport.

I'm a fan of both of them and I wouldn't like to see either lose to the other.

Better off swerving each other, as that seems to be the done thing with many top guys anyway.

It would be one of many good fights out there , both have losses so theres no 0 to protect , 60 -40 to me slightly Parkers way based really on experience and the fact DD does'nt or cannot read and think a fight out , he just goes on what he's told when he can remember it . But he hits hard and the newly confident Parker will come forward , and will be hit , which would bring it closer , GOD FIGHT make it happen , these two could really make life changing money with the new found confidence both will have , and whats more THEY DESERVE IT .

sTILL THINK ITS TIME FOR THE mAN bOY hUGHIE TO THROW HIS HAT INTO THE RING AND MAKE A SPLASH SOON ,

Parker has proven himself to be legitimately up there. Let’s take it one step at a time with Dubois. I’m not sure he wouldn’t make heavy weather or lose to Frank Sanchez or Kabayel

Haha yeah they could hold the pressers in a library and still barely disturb the lunchtime reading club.

I’d love to see Dubois in with AJ personally

I'd take Dubois on points-Wilder was horrible against Parker; Dubois won't be.

There was another thread asking who Dubois' best win was against....well, now we all know for certain it's Miller.

DDD has now moved himself close to "genuine" contender status, but he needs more winnable tests before he's exposed to world class again.

To answer the question....right now, I'd favour Parker. It is a good match for sure.

Parker has been hurt in the past - and Dubois is more consistent than Wilder, but I do not think Dubios has the engine or true punching power (when he steps up) to pull it off. I can see Parker winning a late stoppage.

Joyce couldn't take Zhang's punches like he did Dubois and Low blow aside, Dubois didn't hurt Usyk to the head.

I do not know really - what has that fatty really beaten - he was considered a "homecoming" as opposed to a legitimate, genuine threat to Joshua when they were scheduled to fight - more of a chance than the likes of Molina, but probably lower in the pecking order compared to his 2 fights prior vs Povetkin and Parker.

Since then he has just really been out of action, gotten even fatter and older and fought bums and who knows how much his pre 2019 performances were enhanced by PED.
