He's a good opponent for Fury, a big stiff lump who doesn't really move, and pretty limited

future
The discussion kicks off with Joshua's shocking defeat to Dubois, where many fans express disbelief over his performance. Critics highlight Joshua's form since his losses to Usyk, suggesting that he appeared gun-shy, lacking the aggression needed in the ring. There is a palpable sense of anxiety among the commentators about Joshua's future in the sport, especially considering the multitude of knockdowns he suffered during the fight.12
As the conversation unfolds, opinions diverge on the implications of Joshua's performance. Some argue that this may signal the end of his career, emphasizing the need for him to reassess his approach or contemplate retirement. Others criticize the lack of urgency in his corner, feeling that they should have pulled him from such a one-sided contest earlier.34
The sentiment shifts slightly as fans begin to discuss potential next steps for Joshua. While some believe he may not have the skill set to reclaim his status, others hold out hope for a comeback. Dubois, credited for his impressive performance, raises questions about how Joshua will deal with future matchups against formidable opponents.56
"Dubios destroyed him there. That was a brilliant performance."
"Thought he was going to stage a comeback them ooof."
Verdict
Overall, the thread reveals deep concerns regarding Joshua's boxing future. While Dubois is praised, Joshua's viability as a top contender remains in serious doubt. His next steps will likely determine his legacy and potential return to form.
Fury has been in control since basically round 2. However, I do feel Fury is going to have to make some defensive adjustments if he's going to have another fight at the top level.
Itauma, Wardley, Kabayel and Dubois would all probably beat Fury. As would Usyk, again, obviously.
Tyson did not look fully fit, carrying far too much weight, Makhmufov had very little to offer. I thought Fury got hit far too much. He'd struggle against anyone decent in the division.
I'm not particularly interested in a Fury vs AJ fight. It is about a decade too late. Both are past their best, well past their best.

Dubois vs Wardley tonight.
Still not sure on the outcome. If you went on boxing, Dubois all day but Wardley has a knack at finding that shot at any round.

This Rafferty v Essuman fight is a good one. Rafferty looks more comfortable at this weight.
If Dubois doesn't get him out in the first 3 rounds, I think Wardley will take over. Dubois is a better boxer but the longer it goes the more I'd fancy Wardley
Rafferty is winning every round here. Essuman's eye is a mess. This won't go the distance.

Corner going to throw the towel in here. Rafferty looks very good at this weight.
Well done, the corner. There was no way he could continue.
Rafferty could win a world title at this weight. Great performance.
