    Golota struggled more with punchers than pure boxers. I'd rate Fury as a boxer. However, Golota is a mental midget and Fury's mind games might make him do something stupid. You know Fury would get under his skin. I could see Golota knocking out Fury but most likely he would find a way to lose the fight.

    I'll go with Fury by UD or DQ.

    No, the comparison is valid, we must stop praising former boxers. Golota is very strong, but he is mentally weak. Where Duhaupas at his peak was a living dead in the ring because he was so resistant. I can also say that Duhaupas is the best chin even in the Golota era. We must not forget that both failed at the world title. Golota gets extremely frustrated during his tough fights. I don't see how Golota is better than Povetkin.

    So Fury will win in all the way.

    people love to assume theres some bias toward your evaluation of a fighter if they cross some sort of lines. ethnic, national, generational etc. im not praising him becuase he was a fighter in a Golden age (which is valid), im praising him because he was an established elite fighter and duhaupas was at best a gatekeeper.

    Disagree I'm French I know the story of Duhaupas, you don't speak French at best you only know him from his known fights with Wilder, Miller. But he could really become champion (at his prime) , he is not at all as a gatekeeper, he is dangerous at his prime like Luis Ortiz.

    The end of Duhaupas ruined his career even more. In fact he had an eye where he saw nothing, a divorce procedure (when he goes home and finds his best friend with his wife). His wife who accused him of violence, a ban on seeing his children again, the death of his father all this things in very very short time and two defeats against two doped boxers, Povetkin and Miller. No big salary until very long into his career, no broadcaster in France who broadcast him or organized his fights in France, so almost only fights abroad Etc..

    The fight against Pianeta is strange and it may be his only legitimate defeat (with Wilder). On the other hand, Teper is a huge theft, find out more and try to watch the fight, the scoring is rubbish. Once again, you're not French, you can't understand Duhaupas' career in all its aspects, but he was really unlucky.

    Golota.

    Infinitely better combinations (textbook placement, excellent shot selection, fantastic rhythm, capable of throwing two-handed combinations), harder puncher, possibly better jab, better inside, comparably talented and drilled all around with more economical and orthodox body mechanics.

    Bowe was faded in the their two fights, hence why he was such was receiving such savage beating, but he still had qualities (will, grit, chin, recuperation power, punching power) that would make majority of modern division collapse.

    Those two fights were wars.

    Holyfield said it best: Andrew belonged to a very exclusive club of fighters who could stand in front of Bowe and fight him head on. Paraphrasing.

    I don't rate Fury that high except when against fighters that suit his unorthodox style and qualities.

    But it's good to exchange about that. Sorry don't take it personally "When I say you're not french", because Duhaupas can't speak in English. Lol

    Golota punches Fury square in the vagina several times before being DQ'd.

    I wish he'd had a shrink on his team.

    Boxing history might have been different.
