    Yeah definitely. Steamboat was real nice but it honestly isn't my favorite Colorado town. You might wanna check out Estes Park and Telluride, those places are even better IMO.

    Saleta looked like he had a good killer instinct. And he was in tremendous shape for 45 yrs old.

    I'd like to see him fight Wlad, no shitting, I'm serious. He'd size up pretty well vs Wlad & if he throws bombs like he did vs Golota, who knows???

    1st time I ever seen of heard of Andrew Golota.

    "Night of Upcoming HW's" (was it HBO or USA Network?) & there he was...built like a Sherman Tank & from POLAND!:shock: You gotta be kidding me! I'm thinking, does this guy know how to throw punches or is he some Euro bum?

    It didn't take long before I knew this guy good rumble as a HW. Huge, nimble, beautiful punching technique, damn! He had it all.

    Including a minor flaw that was apparent the moment he bit P'Houha on the neck!

    :lol:

    With the exception of being rocked in the 3rd and poor conditioning, I thought Golota schooled Saleta.

    I don't know about that man. The thing of it is, once he got winded he took a decently bad beating from what I recall. You can see "that look in his eyes". All Golotaholics know the look.

    I have to rewatch it again at some point.

    What I remember most is Golota looked 50x better than I was expecting, but my expectations were extremely low.

    "Night of the Young Heavyweights", I think.

    Tua blasted Ruiz, Briggs was upset by someone, and Golota fought Doc, then a highly regarded Emanuel Steward protege.

    I'm not especially interested in seeing him fight Wlad. Maybe if he beat someone a couple of steps up from Andrew. I mean I agree with how you started - he showed good killer instinct (combined with good patience) and he truly is in absolutely amazing shape for his age.

    But Wlad is leagues above everyone right now, and there are quite a few guys in between Golota and Wlad that I believe would beat Saleta.

    Wasn't Oliver McCall calling out Saleta again after he beaT Andrew?

    Briggs was upset by my namesake, Darroll "Doin' Damage" Wilson.

    haaaa, my favourite thread! :) Several weeks ago I read an interview with Golota's wife and she said that Andrew retires. Nowadays he helps his son with tennis career.
