    Who do you rate higher from a resume quality and boxing legacy standpoint – Andy Golota or Yvon Durelle? Who left a bigger mark on the sport? The "Foul Pole" or the "Fighting Fisherman?"

    Probably Golota which doesn't mean he's the better fighter. Golota is remembered more for getting dq'd and quitting in big fights, but for some reason has remained popular even in retirement, check out YouTube.

    Interesting; do you mean there are a number of interviews with Golota while retired? On YT there are many of his fights but that's prob. every name boxer.

    There are quite a few out there, some are only in Polish.

    Golota, more consistent, better résumé. Not many who you can say that about w Golota.
