    Golota is not underrated. In his prime he was an Elite-Level talented mental midget and hardly anyone denies it. Past prime he improved mentally but his great jab was gone with an accident and a serious chunk of his athleticism was just gone with time. He still should be a champ in the division abandoned by Lewis and not yet taken over by Klits but he was robbed vs Byrd and Ruiz. Hardly anyone denies that too.

    Had his head always been in tact, he would surely be on Klitschkos level, but it wasn't. That's all there is to it.

    I don't see how Golota could be the best when you see the accomplishments of the Klitsco brothers.

    Golota was mentally weak, if he had me as his coach I'd set him straight. IMO I think Golota even at the age he is today; if he were to come back to the sport of boxing with me he would knock both Russian twins out in the same day.

    I bet that Golota from the Bowe fights would give either Klitschko a nice beating.

    I doubt it.. Both Klitschkos controls range better than Bowe, Wladimir has a better jab and Vitali as always has his angle punches which are really hard to avoid..

    Golota blew hot and cold. I think mostly due to his mental fortitude. He never won a belt but was typically always competitive.

    Your trolling was imaginative and humorous at one time.

    Now, it's as blatant and boring as the PAC /FLOYD variety.
