    Both experienced some kind of crisis in the ring, Golota in my opinion mentally weaker, would Hrgovic have enough to take advantage of Golota's weakness?

    Hrgovic wins mid-late rounds stoppage.

    Golota's workrate would be too much, Hrgovic would gas and eventually be stopped.

    Might look a lot like Golota vs Grant.

    Hrgovic is so terrible that Golota would actually hold it together and beat him.

    Hrgovic has shallow power in his punches and questionable stamina Golota would have to quit because he couldn't put his man away but he did that before so I'm not too sure

    Hrgovic is really tough so there's a decent chance Golota melts down and starts to chew Hrgovic's boots frothing in rage for a DQ loss or something. For what it is worth I think Golota was a fine boxer at his best and he'd give a lot of people problems if he keeps his mental state together.

    Hrgovic is really tough and has a very good chin but his power isn't great. Funnily enough Golota was the opposite somewhat.

    People seem to think Golota quits in every hypothethical fight and I can understand that reasoning somewhat.

    But Golota did show alot of heart vs Corey Sanders, Mike Mollo.

    Golota also went 12 rounds with Byrd, Ruiz, and probably deserved to win both fights. And he would've been a champion with 2 belts and his career would've looked considerably different.

    I'm not sold on Hrgovic the only stand out attribute he has is his chin and that's it.

    Hrgovic couldn't make Dubois quit who's basically quit 3 times in his career. And Hrgovic's power at world level has been unremarkable so far and his stamina is suspect.

    I'm going with Golota by decision.
