    The Tiger vs The Bird. An interesting fantasy match up between two European champs at 175. Does Erdei have the skills to outbox Michalczewski? Or does Michalczewski's pressure and firepower get the better of him?

    If We talk potential reality scenario - so Universum matching Dariusz with Erdei at the end of his career, Zsolty certainly could've dethroned him. He handled Gonzalez very easily right after Julio beat Michalczewski, after all.
    Prime for prime though? I think Dariusz takes it easily. He never had issues with boxers, was very good at cutting the ring off and could out-jab You while on the front foot. Erdei on the other hand had two fights with Garay which both could've gone either way and He probably would not have gotten the decision on an neutral ground. At least not twice.
    If You can't convincingly outbox Garay, I don't think You have a prayer against prime Dariusz.

    Great post and what many people overlook is that DM had an incredible jab that he used
