Does Golota bust Slow Joe up, or does he beat up the iron-chinned sloth for nine rounds and just quits?
This is a case where the gap in class is soooooooooooooo huge that Golota wouldn't blow it. Prime Golota would beat the fuck outta Joyce.
Honestly, I have no doubt that Golota is a vastly superior talent, like it's obvious to anyone with eyes...but I'd pick Joyce. If you could design someone to be Golota's worst nightmare it would be someone with a granite chin, who doesn't stop coming and who hits hard, and that's Joyce. I'm NO fan of Joyce, can I just say, but this might be the one mythical match up I can see him winning.
For the record, it's not set in stone, Golota is that much more talented that it can't be. I'm just saying if a gun was put to my head I would side with Joyce. Stylistically it's a much more competitive fight than base talent would usually suggest, primarily because Golota is such a headcase.
