and Golota did beat Bowe twice ... prime Bowe too .. Bowe was never the same after those fights with him ... he wasn't in the best shape for the first Golota fight but the second he was and Golota just beat him like a drum. Golota was a super heavyweight and knew how to use his size ... also had an excellent jab and out jabbed Bowe ... threw beautiful combinations as well and had a decent chin ... very good counter puncher and decent defensively. Dude is a H2H monster and one of the most talented guys I've ever seen ... the fight with Lewis would've been much different if it wasn't for that lidocaine injection he got. The difference between Bowe and Wlad is that Bowe could take a sustained amount of punishment and still stay on his feet, Wlad can't. Wlad has never fought an opponent as skilled as Golota who could jab with him. |

2. Bowe was not in his prime in 1996. He was slurring his speech and had brain damage, he was washed up. Quote:

2. No he wasn't. Bowe was fine at that time ... he was coming of 4 straight wins an a TKO of Holyfield. Quote:

Waldo hasn't beaten anyone that special either and is usually criticized for that fact, so why the hate on Golota? Golota only spazzed out when the fight went into the late rounds ... he'd have Wlad out of there early so no problem. Last edited by KidDynamite; 11-18-2012 at 03:39 PM. |

Golota is a stud. With a decent brain and the heart of a champion like Lennox Lewis or Muhammad Ali, he'd be in with a great shot, here. Big, talented, skillful, and aggressive. It'd be a nightmare fight for Wlad.
But, he was weak. He just was. Andrew Golota finds ways to fold in fights. I can see Wlad disposing of him in the first or second round, after the first big right hand. If he doesn't, the holding and the clawing(Wlad's trick where he extends his left and pulls down on your head when you try to come under it) would drive Golota, literally, crazy. Wlad KO 1-4, or by DQ no later then 7. Either his right hands cause Golota to freeze, like Lennox Lewis and Lamon Brewster and Mike Tyson, or his spoiling causes him to go insane. |

Golota had by far a more respectable skill set than Wlad, its undeniable. Good reflexes, great body attack and a very decent inside game.
He beat Byrd, no question about that. Even got a KD that wasn't scored. Wlad throws one punch in an attempt to win. If that fails he has nothing. Pulling down on Golotas head when he gets close will result in brutal body pain and Wlad panic's worse than Golota under pain. If Golota can get inside and work its his fight to win. |

When he pulls his head down, those shots would be going low, which proves my point.
Hard to get enough leverage to bring the pain when a forearm is on your neck. Trust me. |
