I'm gonna Dubois, but I can imagine it going either way, and this is another fight that's a sure fire war. Hard to imagine this being anything other than an exciting slugfest.

pov wasnt very good in the chag fight, id go with dubois. pov had a period though where he was super explosive with better stamina when he was fully on the sauce. that version id take to stop dubois

Gotta be Povetkin. At his peak he would have smacked DDD all over the ring.

In the past I'd pick Povetkin, but Dubois is improving, so today it's a 50/50 fight. I think, Dubois could outbox Povetkin and maybe stop him in the later rounds, but it would be close and Povetkin could catch Dubois in the process. On the other hand, Dubois could show heart and continue fighting in any case. Povetkin was tough, but it was hard for him to find openings for the bigger, more athletic and hard hitting Wlad. Dubois could keep Povetkin away and use his physique, if Povetkin managed to get close. Even against Joshua Povetkin had some success, but eventually got caught. It could be similar against Dubois, if Dubois takes all Povetkin's pinches well.

If we're talking about Povetkin in his prime, fighting his best, he'd beat Dubois in a very rough, competitive fight. Probably by stoppage, with both guys on the deck before it's over.
