    I think Szpilka win is also better, I just think Szpilka's the more talented boxer looking at the two, Duhaupas fought in some weird crab style at least Szpilka's beyond his chin and defense has respectable athleticism and technique.

    I think Duhaupas was inspired by his performance against Wilder and realized he was better than he thought he was. Causing him push himself to get a little bit better. Kind of like the epiphany Salido susupposedly had when facing Marquez.

    Also the manner in which he beat Szpilka was probably more impressive with the emphatic finish and all, though in both fights other than the finishes he didn't really look good. Szpilka was a clean stoppage though and I remember Duhaupas got back up 2-3 times.

    His chin definitely is.

    Wilder is the division... let's keep it real.
    (HW boxing is a tradition... any American hating on DW is a biiiiiitch)

    Helenius' big problem is his conditioning. He is a couch potato at heart. Now that he is coached by his drinkin buddy Lindström - things are not looking good. He really needs demanding coaching, like he had in Sauerland. Apparently Peter Fury offered to become his trainer, but Rob refused. He wants to stay at Åland, close to family.

    The legendary hall of famers Helenius

    the guy that got outpointed by Chisora and Sherman Williams

    This makes Chisora an ATG i guess

    Tank came nearer to knocking out Holyfield than he did to deserving the nod over Helenius.

    If I've understood Hitman correctly - he was a on/off guy. So when he was on, he trained and fought in intensive fashion.

    Helenius current existence = meh half-assed hobbyist.

    Let us be honest, Helenius was injured (from second round, I think) against Chisora. It was close, but he was not outpointed.

    I would guess that it is being overated.
    I like Wilder and think he is a good HW, but he is not fighting in the tough European scene.
    To give you an idea, it would be debateable if Duhuapas would even be in the top 5 in the UK, let alone Europe.
    In Europe HWs tend to be stepped up far sooner.

    UK HWs Fury, Joshua, Haye would likely all be rated above Duhuapas H2H, and I would favour all to win. Then there are HWs like Whyte, Chisora, H Fury, Price
