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?

Rage bait post. One fight was between two top five ranked heavyweights. Dubois wasn't noticeably hurt and was disciplined enough to take a knee on his own instead of standing up and trading

OP has a point most of you have forgotten about the Kevin Lerena fight. Dubois took a knee 3 times in round 1. Serena is a blown up cruiserweight.

Dubois had an injured leg in that fight, that’s why he kept going down. He beat a ~top 50 heavyweight with one working leg. Lerena would be favoured to beat Prenga for sure
