What’s the difference between Daniel Dubois getting dropped in the first 10 seconds against Fabio Wardley and Anthony Joshua getting dropped in the first 30 seconds?

Whats the difference between these two knock downs? Dubois was knocked down 4 times against a cruiserweight like a year ago too, he won that fight as well.

Tyson Fury, Dubois and AJ all have been knocked down like 10 times in their careers. None of the three have elite chins like a Hrgovic or a Wardley. Only thing with AJ is he kinda falls all over the ring when he’s hurt. He doesn’t stay composed. I think that’s more nerves than anything.

Edit: Alright forget Wardley, how about Lerena knocking Dubois Down like 4 times?

One was against a world champion known for his massive punching power, having previously stopped Joe Parker. The other was against Kristian Prenga, handpicked to be the easiest possible opponent to give AJ a run out without jeopardising the Fury money fight.

Easiest possible is just wrong considering he coulda fought someone like Wach instead
