    To put some more context on the matter. Golota was a skilled boxer who had defence, power, a good jab and size. His main problem was being a headcase.

    Willard had size and durability but little else. His boxing skills were regrettable. The version of Golota that beat the juice out of Bowe would utterly wreck Willard. Golota was even about the same weight as him though a little shorter. It would be a massacre.

    Golota bangs out a decision. He's the more skilled and won't have a panic attack against Willard..

    Golota beat Kevin McBride, so he should be able to beat Willard.
