I'm completely biased, so I'll pick Povetkin by midrounds stoppage.

It's not inconceivable :) Whether you are biased or not)

The timeframe of the match is biased here. You're picking the best version of Dubois up against one of the worst version's of Povetkin.

Fair point. And as an author of the post - I take full responsibility

That said, there are instances, when matching the best version of fighter A against not exactly the best version of fighter B still won't give a definitive answer on who's gonna win. Depends on the match-up.

I think, Povetkin from the Joshua fight would still have a good shot against Dubois. Short, compact and accurate combination punchers will always be a headache for DDD.

These guys seem like they'd be fairly evenly matched at any point though. Style wise at least. I think Povetkin has an edge in toughness here.

That's about how I see it.

Either Povetkin take a decision or stopping Dubois late.

good match up, each guy could win this. prime povetkin from when he was caught with meldonium i'd favour, he had the power to break dan's heart and pretty good technique for a puncher too. the whyte ko is one of the best executed jab, slip, bang knockouts ive seen, and pov was already way past it at that time

pov had a decent but not great chin and dubs hits hard enough to ring his bell, but i think prime pov had more to work with
