    Both fighters had similar height and weight, Golota's talent was never questioned but his weak psyche would come to the fore in any fight against a better opponent, I think Bugner would win, what do you think?

    If Golota is motivated and is in the right frame of mind, he definitely beats Bugner, but I am aware that that is an oxymoron of sorts.

    Well on the other hand if Bugner turns up in one of his negative moods when he could stink the joint out then virtually any version of Golota beats him.
    We assume though that these matches are made with both fighters at their best and in that case Golota still wins by a fairly close UD because he isn’t stopping Bugner.

    I'm going with Golota. Both consistently found ways to lose the big ones, but I don't think Golota would've been intimidated by Bugner.
