Wilder vs Duhaupas in Birmingham

Not to mention that the McBride, and Mollo fight especially were actually competitive lol... Golota in his prime destroys either of those guys, even the early 2000s one does. Anyone who's seen either fight would know that Golota was way past it.

 

If he can throw a decent check jab, Wilder is in big trouble

 

good

 

Well I can continue with the list if you want.

Point is that he doesn't deserve to fight for the heavyweight championship, the guy lost 1 of his 2 last fights vs the European champ.

 

This is a better opponent than Molina actually. Not saying Duhaupas is some world beater or anything, but I'm not ruling out an upset here.

Just waiting for some official confirmation on this being Wilder's next opponent.

 

Uh, yes it is in fact debatable, in fact you basically just proved my points. His only loss in between the fights I referenced was in yet another TITLE fight. He then went on to beat quality journeymen in between. The rest your argument is based on your entirely subjective opinion that he was shot, not the facts evidenced by who he fought.

Also, by your line of reasoning about it being bad Stiverne stuggled with Austin, who actually was a fringe contender, Bryant Jennings must be shyte because he struggled with and was kd'd by Bowie Tupou. Or Pulev for getting kd'd by Joey Abell. There's a million more examples exposing this totally fallacious line of argument.

 

King was a bs stoppage, but yeah, Stiverne performs down to his opponents sometimes, but showed plenty to prove he was top. Arreola was a top 10 guy at the time when he lost to Stiverne, Arreola earned the rematch by beating Mitchell, another top 20ish guy at the time, before arguably Stiverne ruined him. He beat Austin, who was a fringe contender, borderline top 20 guy, much the same way he beat Arreola both times, really, was getting outboxed at first and then countered with huge power, then either stopped or incapacitated his opponent. Sure, he doesn't rack up points, but Arreola had always shown a strong beard, so Stiverne clearly has the power to make up for it.

 

Pretty decent opponent, not a championship fight though, but a good measuring stick to see where your evolving prospects at

 

Those two were cookie fighters Rock Newman fed Bowe for easy cash and he smashed them easy, Wilder went life and death with Molina and Dahaupas will likely be the same.

 

He went life and death with Harold Sconiers as well, only Wilders team keeps taking the videos down off youtube :rofl

 

Yeah, I've looked for that a few times. Obviously a damaging to the rep fight.

 

Golota was very good in Byrd and Ruiz fights, yes, in 2004. But after Brewster destroyed him in 1 rd, he was never the same.

He retired and came back 25 months later, not 13, by the way:good

Golota from Byrd and Ruiz fights beats Austin on points and KO's McBride and Mollo in 2 rds.

 

Certainly could have been worse - no contender, but much better than Molina
