    I'm French I can speak about Johann Duhaupas who was very unlucky,

    First of all he arrived when boxing in France was completely dead after Brahim Asloum. So no visibility, the French discovered Duhaupas at the same time as the Americans or Germans. Duhaupas lives in Abbeville not far from me. A small town in the North of France. I will explain to you some dramatic facts from his life. Only his defeats against Pianeta and Wilder are legitimate. Teper is a horrible steal, Povetkin tests positive the day before the fight and Miller tests positive right after Duhaupas. However, the Americans did not overturn his defeat against Miller.


    The end of Duhaupas ruined his career even more. In fact he had an eye where he saw nothing, a divorce procedure (when he goes home and finds his best friend with his wife). His wife who accused him of violence, a ban on seeing his children again, the death of his father all this things in very very short time and two defeats against two doped boxers, Povetkin and Miller. No big salary until very long into his career, no broadcaster in France who broadcast him ororganized his fights in France, soalmost only fights abroad Etc..

    Always like Duhaupas, one tough guy. Was the first guy take the stuffing out of Helenus, in Helenus' backyard.

    Yes and in Finland, it's really amazing his most beautiful wins in his career. At this times Helenius was seen like a "Klitschko killer".

    His best friend was with his wife? Did he survive?

    And yes he was a gatekeeper by the way. Maybe a lower than world level gatekeeper.

    He won his judgment and won custody of his children ( custody is alternated) . So yes he had his revenge. He opened his own gym and nightclub bar in the city from Caen in Normandy.

    Povektin could have taken every PED known to man, but the short notice was a bigger factor for that fight than anything else.

    His wife cheated on him with his best friend and then tried to steal his children away.
    This sounds like a liberated western female for sure, another precious lady of enlightened society.
    At least she didn't abort his kids, I suppose.
    Then again, he might want to get a dna test, just to make sure he is actually raising his own offspring.

    Your allowing your national bias towards a fighter colour your opinion. Regardless of what happened his career played out the way it did and his best win to date is Helenius.

    I as a Brit could say David Price was unlucky, green when he lost to Thompson, Teper and Povetkin were doping, bicep injury vs Kuzmin, but that doesn't mean he was anything other than a decent domestic level Brit.

    Fact is Duhaupas was a solid pro, tough durable, but he lacked any real weapons to ever be considered a genuine contender which is why he was chosen by Wilder as his 2nd defence as he was never going to win. You rate fighters on achievements not on potential and even in that regard Duhaupas at his very best is a gate keeper and even then I think his countrymen a perennial gatekeeper Takam was better.

    So in the end you might be right he wasn't a gatekeeper because he might not have been good enough to be called a gatekeeper at least at the elite level.

    Maybe a gatekeeper at elite lvl.
    I'm sure Duhaupas would take that. Quite an accomplishment imo
