Daniel Dubois vs Alexander Povetkin
Re: Daniel Dubois vs Alexander Povetkin
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.

Re: Daniel Dubois vs Alexander Povetkin
Gotta be Povetkin. At his peak he would have smacked DDD all over the ring.
Re: Daniel Dubois vs Alexander Povetkin
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.
Re: Daniel Dubois vs Alexander Povetkin
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.
