    Who would prevail in a battle of quitters?

    Dubois never, I repeat never, would have push through the adversity of Bowe in whatever shape he might have been back then. Riddick was still taught the art of war by Eddie Futch, and Golota making him look the way he made him look was a testament to Andrew's brilliant skills hampered by his unwillingness to push through trenches to the end.

    Golota has better balance, better footwork better upper-body movement, better if not heavier jab, better combinations both from the distance and while slinging shots with two-fisted attack, he has inside game from behind his shoulder while Dubois has none, he has much better defense, much better overall body mechanics both on defensive and offensive, and he throws a much better, more crisp body shot while actually having the guts to launch a full-scale assault on his opponents balls when he wishes to, instead of lying through his teeth it was legal for a year or so. Also better chin, because Dubious is not getting the chance to quit against Bowe. Holyfield said it best: nobody could stand in front of Bowe and beat on him like that.

    I don't think Daniel does what Grant did either. Grant for however limited he was, showed real grit against a Golota who was post-Bowe and Lewis.

    Dubois and potentially within 1 round, as soon as he lands a big punch, Golota will check out mentally.

    Golota from Bowe I? Dubois is done. Two mental midgets, but Dubois hasn't risen to Golota level, Bowe I. That guy floated like a butterfly and stung like a yellowjacket. That's why he was so discouraged when Bowe didn't go away

    Dubois murders him, thankfully he isn't a quitter.

    Both mentally pretty fragile in the ring.

    Golota was more skilled but he would have given up after being hit by Dubois inside two rounds.
