How Would AJ Have Done Against Golota?

If Golota comes in mentally stable, he wins

 

so he loses

 

I think that the smart money would be on Joshua here.

 

I'd take Joshua too. He's much more powerful, bigger and about the same skill as a boxer as Golota. Golota may have a better jab and integrated his defence and offence better. That isn't to say that it's a done deal that AJ wins, because Golota had a decent turn of speed and if he landed some of his blistering 1-2s AJ might find his chin sorely tested. Thing is that Joshua is much more proven at high level and if he loses it's probably be seen as an upset.

 

Golota would beat the Joshua of today I mean a shot Helenius busted up Joshua with his jab....remember Golota did absolutely dismantle Bowe with his jab.

Prime for prime I think Joshua should win as Golota is to mentally unstable, but then again the punishment Bowe took vs Golota well Joshua wouldn't be able to take that. So maybe Golota of Bowe fights could win before he gave the fight away......

But gun to my head I'd probably favour a prime Joshua with his punching power and size.

 

Yeah. What you said.

 

Everything depends on the two of them, I still think that Golota was mentally unstable, Joshua is just going through some kind of crisis, it could go either way, but when I look at everything, I give Joshua the advantage, if Grant managed to beat Golota, then so could Joshua.

 

Prime for prime i favor Joshua! The version of Joshua that knocked out W.K was sharp, determand, accurate, threw good combinations...
I say 70-30 Joshua. Just considering the possibillty that AJ gasses out or gets caught with a lucky punch and did't fully recover.

 

Golota beats the **** out of AJ before getting DQ'd

 

The best Golota vs today's tentative timid AJ might just do that

 

Every time Golota goes to his body Joshua would cry low blow, Golota would get fed up of the warnings and unleash hell on his nutsack.
Joshua Battered and Golota DQd, so a Golota win.

 

Prime version of Joshua wins I think. He's successfully proven at a higher level and Golota, obviously, had a habit of going to pieces. Joshua has the proven record and despite the criticism he gets has shown a willingness and ability to fight back during adversity. Golota generally gave in but if he could be mentally focused could really hurt Joshua at points. The big question is could Golota keep it together long enough to tire Joshua out, that's probably unlikely. But that's when Joshua could really be in trouble.

Golota would probably get anxious, foul his way out of the fight or just quit if Joshua hurt him. Golota had all the physical gifts to accomplish so much more but unfortunately too mentally unstable for boxing.
