    Golota was skilled but fragile in his head.
    Though I liked how he impersonated Dracula in the amateurs.

    Not many punches ever hit him.

    Guy's a fraud of a Warrior with defense like that.

    I agree, and I was going to comment about the fight between Cotto and Trout as being similar in terms of the obsticles that Duran and Cotto had to over come, and look at the difference in the result.

    I also thought that if someone never watched a boxing match before and wanted to know what boxing is all about, they should watch the Duran - Barkley fight. That was truly an amazing victory.

    To me he was very strong and quick as a lightweight. He was only a great fighter as a lightweight. At the higher weights, he was beaten or competitive with other good fighters that were more comfortable at their weight.

    I don't know about "more skilled", but the man could do it all, certainly one if no the, most complete fighters ever.
